1.12 Faith
June 25, 2021 04:41 - 1 hour - 130 MBSo we're officially here, the first episode that I had to stop and stare at a wall for a few minutes and then immediately go back and watch it again. I had been enjoying the show before this. It felt like a fun little adventure story about chasing a mysterious monster that had altered their lives forever, seeking revenge and answers and trying to find their father. But this episode? This changed things for me, far more than Home even did. Maybe I just have a thing for Capital-D Death, in a ...
Episode 1.11 Scarecrow
June 18, 2021 04:05 - 1 hour - 109 MBThis week we get to talk about a lot of firsts... the first time we get to see Sam speak to John in canon! The first time we meet Meg! The first time Dean is denied a slice of pie! Wheee! (and I only get a little bit mad about the finale like... twice... maybe three times... >.>) Seriously though, there is a lot going on in this episode, big themes that will carry throughout the series about sacrifice, family, and what we do for selfish reasons versus selfless reasons. Have some fun links!...

Episode 1.10 Asylum
June 11, 2021 03:44 - 1 hour - 104 MBHello again! Join me on an adventure in being eminently frustrated with Sam! I mean, I feel for him, I get his frustration, but this feels like the first time he's ever really been confronted with the position that Dean's been in since he was four regarding John. He just lacks any sort of coping mechanism for dealing with it... (unless you’re someone who totally relates to Sam in this episode, because honestly I am entirely baffled... I’m eager to understand, if that’s possible) Links ref...
Episode 1.09 Home
June 04, 2021 03:54 - 1 hour - 124 MBWelcome to another episode of SPNGeorg! This week we take Sam and Dean Home, a place that Dean swore never to return to, while Sam feels compelled to save the people he saw in his nightmare from the same fate their family suffered. And John... basically hides and does a bit of handwringing over the whole mess. There’s an awful lot of seeds planted in this episode that will take years to bear fruit, but I appreciate this episode for the fertile ground it gives us. References I used this wee...

Episode 1.08 Bugs
May 28, 2021 05:40 - 1 hour - 102 MBIn which I endeavor to convince even one person that this episode isn't the complete trash Chuck seemed to think it was... I am fairly certain the main reason he hated it was because he wasn't really interested in the deeper character narrative of Dean's tormented childhood. Links and things referenced in this episode, and helpful references in general: Last time for Kripke's original five episode arenas My tag for this episode and last but not least, the Superwiki page for Bugs --- S...
Episode 1.07 Hook Man
May 21, 2021 04:20 - 1 hour - 108 MBWelcome back for a bit of Urban Legend, and what already feels a little bit like a throwback to the original concept of Supernatural before it began evolving into a substantially bigger mytharc driven series. I suppose that's what happens when production issues make these sorts of delays and changes necessary. Lucky us! Just a few things I referred to in this episode: The quotes about how John Shiban was asked to join the SPN writing staff can be found here. The network arenas from the or...
Episode 1.06 Skin
May 14, 2021 04:41 - 1 hour - 104 MBWelcome to Dean's series long debacle with identity issues! Gosh what else can I really say about this one? Heck I should probably say something more about it here... lol. Sam still keeps in touch with his college friends, who know nothing about his life outside of the guy they knew in school. All that's about to change, as they learn far more than they ever could've bargained for. He might manage to save his friends, but Dean loses his identity in the process. --- Support this podcast:...
Episode 1.05 Bloody Mary
May 07, 2021 17:06 - 1 hour - 109 MBHi everyone! This week we finally begin digging into the roots of the bigger cosmology of the Supernatural universe! I'm not sure the concepts of guilt and choice and fate vs free will were intended to spring from how we process and internalize guilt as presented in this episode, but nevertheless it will have far-reaching consequences even through s15. Small changes and production difficulties at the very beginning of the series had a vast ripple effect on how this universe grew and develope...
Episode 1.04 Phantom Traveler
May 01, 2021 01:35 - 1 hour - 119 MBWith the recent interview with Jerry Wanek reminding me of some interesting early episode behind the scenes stuff, as well as our Supernatural Script Hunt group going public this week, I thought it was a perfect time to talk about some of the origin story of how the series grew from Kripke's original ideas into the story we know and love. We'll also fully discuss 1.04 Phantom Traveler, but I do drop a rather larger than usual number of links in this one. So... here's some links! :'D The Sup...
Episode 1.03 Dead in the Water
April 23, 2021 04:58 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBOh my gosh, I think I might actually be getting a little bit good at this? Maybe? Hopefully? Maybe this is how Kripke felt when this episode of Supernatural first aired, too. Hmmm. Come dive into the dark unknown depths of Dean Winchester and stay for a pleasant swim. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spngeorg/support
Episode 1.02 Wendigo
April 16, 2021 03:50 - 1 hour - 140 MBHi everyone! I know this is on the long side, but we're setting up an entire universe here, and that comes with personal disclaimers about how I intend to talk about this show. Plus now that we're looking back to the beginning of the series, I hope we can approach the characters with a more nuanced and thoughtful approach, knowing that they're not just the surface level two-dimensional characters a lot of us had as first impressions of them fifteen years ago. It provides a lot of interesting...
Episode 1.01 The Woman In White
April 10, 2021 07:11 - 1 hour - 133 MBWelcome back for the first full episode of SPNGeorg! We're introduced to the world of Supernatural, and get to know Sam and Dean Winchester through a series of dead women! (one of them is actually in pink... a color that will come to symbolize Death on this show over the years, but yes, Mary's Iconic White Nightgown is actually pink...) In happy podcast news, SPN Georg is now available on most podcast platforms! More will hopefully become available in the next few days, so keep checking if ...
Episode 0 - Who are we and why are we here?
April 03, 2021 07:17 - 44 minutes - 60.5 MBI am the Spiders Georg of Supernatural rewatches. After watching the entire series on a loop for the better part of a decade, as well as reading and writing meta and fanfic, rather than attempt to organize the millions of words I've written about the show, I thought I might try just rewatching it all again, but out loud this time. I'll be using a lot of my meta tags from tumblr for reference in the making of this podcast-- probably leaning heavily into "It's spirals all the way down," "Chuc...
