so glad to hear that archie likes music. was worried for a second that there wouldn't be a hard-hitting plot in this show

[celestiialdreams]

jenny nicholson and mike's contribution to the culture is never-ending

[samwich]

Jenny Nicholson, Mike’s Mic, and Uncarley are the trifecta of terror of drama tv show recaps. Their constant cultural resets cannot be overstated

[joshuab]

I wonder if it would even be possible to do a hinged recap of Riverdale. It’s a fever dream.

[Nobody_]

my favorite is always the fact that Cheryl and Jason and Polly being the same ages but not the same ages because Jason and Polly are a thing and the three of them are "older" but not. and Polly is Betty's older sister and then Cheryl's the same age as Betty and V... yeah, brain hurts trying to think about it, lol

[abbie]

Calling Jason’s funeral his wedding on accident at 29:45 made me laugh harder than it should have

[FulufheloCharms]

Carly finding the storyline in the Riverdale plot salad is impressive.

[sophiecasa]

carly sacrificing her soul for us yet again...we truly don't deserve her

[mtver]

I think we can all agree that all of Archie's plotline in season 1 (i.e. music vs football) could have been solved had he watched High School Musical

[PZW_]

Pops is so iconic. He’s so unproblematic but so helpful. Riverdale just wouldn’t be Riverdale with out him

[colorcraze]

Knowing this video was inspired by comedy legend Michael’s microphone is exactly what I need to get thorough this week

[quinzequinze]

You’ve reminded me that the sentence “the ghoulies are bringing jingle jangle into southside high” is why I stopped watching this show

[daisymae]

*SPOILERS!!!*
Okay but Cheryl Bombshell saying “You did a bad thing daddy, and now everyone knows” after finding out what happened to Jason is iconic.

[ripwednesdayadams]

“the pussycats see this happening follow him and beat the shit out of him. they are also singing out tonight from rent while they do this.”

i think i may need to watch riverdale for that scene alone 🤯

[alyxually]

carley touches on something I, a marketing-finance-student, has always worried about in riverdale: how do they have so many events and where do they get the money from

[aalllllllexx]

The retcon of Cheryl's age actually pissed me off bc the whole first season, she and Jason are Polly's age so significantly older than Betty and the gang but then randomly Cheryl is supposed to be the same age as everyone but they still acted like Jason was Polly's age even though he and Cheryl are twins?

[hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda]

an hour and a half of Carley!?
AND IT'S ONLY PART

What a queen!

[brittnibickford]

Carley’s face going in and out of phantom of the opera mode with the projector is everything, truly.

[mderately.gth]

the way mike’s mic revolutionized youtube in the 2020s…. will never be forgotten

[rosie-ejbg]

this crossover event of carley and mike is single-handedly curing my depression. in the words of mike, a “galactic slay” to say the least.
