The Witches of Letters: A Supernatural Rewatch Podcast

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 6 “I Believe The Children Are Our Future”. Sam and Dean investigate a series of deaths and strange happenings that resemble urban legends or lies that kids believe. After some investigation they find a young boy called Jesse who possesses the power to make his thoughts reality, and who Cas says is the Antichrist.

We discuss how the demon lore on the show has seemingly changed; how Jesse is actually very sweet, even though he’s the supposed Antichrist; and also how we never see him again after this episode, even though he seems very relevant to the apocalypse plot.

We also discuss how a lot of the lies we tell children have breaking and entering involved for some reason, and Joy traumatises Laura with a story about sea monkeys.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about what happened to the Castiel action figures on the set, how the Antichrist lore holds up, and some examples of surreal history.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 5 “Fallen Idols”. Sam and Dean investigate when it seems like the ghosts of famous people start killing residents of a town in Ohio.

We start with a, sort of, mailbag segment where listeners tell us the line or scene that got them hooked on Supernatural, and their comfort episodes. Feel free to email us yours. You can find the email address further down in these show notes.

We discuss the commentary around celebrity that this episode brings up as satire, and the beauty standard of the 2000’s; Dean fangirling over James Dean’s car; and Paris Hilton’s performance. Spoiler alert, we love it, so if you’re here to hate on her, you’re in the wrong place.

Joy fact checks the lore about James Dean’s car, and her Easter eggs are about real Leshy folklore, and how we idolise celebrities.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 4 “The End”. Dean is sent 5 years into the future, to 2014, by the angel Zachariah to see what the world will be like if he continues to say no to being Michael’s vessel. He meets the future version of himself, who has been hardened by the apocalypse, and finds out that he never reconciled with Sam and that Sam is now Lucifer's vessel! Uh oh!

We discuss how well Jensen acted the 2 Deans in this episode to make them recognisable from each other, Woodstock Cas (as Joy dubbed him), and Dean standing up to Sam/Lucifer!!

We also discuss how the brothers' relationship has been shifting, our thoughts about Future Dean, the Colt coming back, Cas being human now, and Dean’s plan to kill Lucifer.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about exorcisms in Kansas City, how there were actually some apocalypse type things going on in the US the year this was filmed such as outbreaks of Ebola and HRN1, and snowstorms; and the Kansas City Prophets who Joy thinks the episode might have been making a reference to with Cas’ character in this episode.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 3 “Free to Be You and Me”. 

We see what S&D have been up to since going their separate ways. Sam has given up the hunting life and has found work at a bar in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Dean and Cas team up to capture the archangel Raphael who might be able to help them find God. 

We discuss how hilarious the Dean and Cas dynamic is in this episode, a conspiracy Joy has about Lindsey, and how the final scene with Lucifer and Sam is like a rom-com.

We also discuss queerbaiting, representation, and have lots of fun facts as usual.

Joy’s Easter eggs are about civil rights stories that are linked to the locations in this episode.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

In this episode Joy and Laura break down season 5 episode 2 “Good God, Y’all!”. One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, War, controls a town making everyone think everyone else is a demon so they fight among themselves and kill each other needlessly. Sam and Dean team up with Jo, Ellen and Rufus to save the day.

We discuss our feelings about seeing Ellen and Jo again, Laura gets impatient to see Lucifer, and we both think War is a hot villain. 

We also discuss how Sam might be pushing himself too far, just so Dean will forgive him, the parallels to addiction, the morals around killing someone possessed by a demon, and react to Sam and Dean separating at the end of the episode. 

Joy’s Easter eggs are about Maria Rubio and Jesus on the tortilla, what The Book of Revelation says about War, and the crime rates in the location to find out how violent it actually is.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!
