What if I did a Riverdale recap podcast that compared and contrasted each episode with the movie/property that the episode title is named after. What a world

What a gem of an interview with Charles Melton for i-D (Vice)

Earlier this year, as the buzz for his role in May December was starting to grow, Charles said goodbye to the lovable football jock Reggie Mantle, the character he’d played on Riverdale for the past seven years. Charles spent many months of the year shooting in Toronto, before the show ended in August 2023. “Obviously it frees up more time for projects like May December, but I learned so much being there. I formed relationships that I will have until the end of my days. It really helped me refine this work ethic. Riverdale truly was my Juilliard – I was learning and growing and playing and taking risks. I was allowed to do that. We just had our final season, so you know, it’s…” Charles trails off and shoots me a rueful smile. He looks pensive. “It’s bittersweet. But I’m so happy it brought joy to so many people.”

I know I'm five thousand years late, but wtf that CHARLES MELTON is going to be in a TODD HAYNES movie with JULIANNE MOORE and NATALIE PORTMAN, and he's like a prominent character?!?!

the thing about riverdale is if you wanna watch it as a tragic narrative about cycles of trauma and abuse you can do that and if you wanna watch it as a metacommentary on the restrictive nature of americana and mainstream television you can and if you wanna watch a bunch of people saying the goofiest shit ever you can

I didnt even have expectations for what riverdale reference doom patrol would have, but i was So surprised.

Totally took me by surprise, but here’s the fun thing: this week’s episode of Doom Patrol was written by Shoshana Sachi, is married to Brian E. Paterson, who co-wrote the episode of Riverdale that Easter egg comes from. Layers!

The surprise of the season, peak Riverdale nonsense (affectionate).

who let him dance (for @andsmile)

I'm cursed happy to know that once again the only time Kevin's fashionable is when he's in a cult.

FUCK YES!

Can you believe it's been how many whole ass years since the og Pussycats performed without having an additional guest shoehorned in

Most days I ignore my Google alerts for Casey, but today I decided to look and whew boy. This movie is called "Asking for It".

Wasn't expecting where else this summary would go
