Things Heard & Seen Review: Supernatural Silliness in Netflix Thriller

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
A haunted house, a religious philosophy, and a horrible story of domestic abuse are at the center of this Netflix original horror-thriller, Things Heard & Seen, a movie that plays with big ideas but gets confused along the way. Amanda Seyfried stars as Catherine, a young art restorer who moves with her lecturer husband George (James Norton) to a small town and a new house when he secures a job at a local college. Isolated from her own work and friends, and now a full time mum to their young daughter Franny, Catherine grows increasingly frustrated while George appears to be…

Link Tank: Why Supernatural Fans Should Watch Trickster

New DVD release, , ,
Fans of The CW’s Supernatural may want to check out Trickster, a Canadian drama based on the original folklore of Indigenous and First Nations peoples. “When Supernatural premiered over a decade and a half ago, it asked the question ‘what if all the ghost stories and urban legends you told around a campfire were real and what do they look like in today’s world?’ That series drew on a particular sort of American mythology, and at its best used those stories to inform the growth of their character and it was a powerful combination.” Read more at The Mary Sue.…

Supernatural: The Best Episodes

New DVD release,
This Supernatural feature contains MAJOR spoilers up to and including the series finale. Over the course of 15 years, Supernatural aired an extraordinary 327 episodes, every single one of them starring the same two people, a quite incredible achievement (there were two attempts at backdoor pilots, but both featured Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles at least briefly). In 327 episodes, of course, there have been some stinkers, and there have been moments of brilliance. Supernatural did scary episodes, gross-out episodes, funny episodes, tragic episodes, tragically funny episodes and episodes set on its own soundstage. Here are 25 of the very…

Supernatural Series Finale: Why Dean’s Fate Works

New DVD release, , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. A lot of fans were hoping that Supernatural would end the way its penultimate episode ended, with Sam and Dean literally driving off into the sunset in the Impala, to new and unknown adventures. When it comes time to re-watch the series (a hefty undertaking, considering there are 15 seasons of it!) no doubt many will choose to stop there; the episode even has a series finale-style montage of moments from across its 15 years to go with that classic conclusion. But Supernatural didn’t end with “Inherit The Earth.” In…

Supernatural Series Finale: How to Wrap Up 15 Years of Story

New DVD release, , , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. Obviously. It’s hard to believe it, but Supernatural has come to an end. We had our theories about what might happen in the 15-season show’s ender, but Supernatural kept us guessing right until its final moments. “Carry On” is essentially a forty-minute epilogue to tie up loose ends after the definitive battle against God. It serves its purpose of bringing the series full circle to its humble beginnings: Sam gets his normal life. Dean goes out as a hunter. They reunite to keep riding that road together… in heaven. If you…

Supernatural: The Internet’s Best Reactions to the Series Finale

New DVD release, , , ,
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for the Supernatural series finale. Welp, there you have it. After 15 seasons of road trips and high-stakes battles, Supernatural has come to an end—and people have feelings (as they should). Interestingly, the penultimate episode of Supernatural wrapped up the major story arc of the season, leaving the final episode to get a bit more, um, creative with its ending. What did that look like? Pie festivals and vampires, of course. “Carry On” sees Sam and Dean settling back into “normal” life following their definitive battle with God. The stakes are a lot lower, but…

Supernatural Series Finale Review: Carry On

New DVD release, , , ,
This Supernatural series finale review contains MAJOR spoilers for Season 15, Episode 20. Supernatural Season 15, Episode 20 We’ve made it to the end. 15 seasons. Saving people, hunting things — the family business. For fifteen years, two brothers with a historically cursed name have traveled the country in a cherry 1967 Chevy Impala, taking down baddies and saving the innocent, all on a quest to find out where their father went on a hunting trip, or to stop the demon Azazel, or stop the Apocalypse, avoid destiny, confront the Darkness, and deny God himself.

Where Does Supernatural’s Series Finale Go After That Penultimate Episode?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Supernatural article contains spoilers for Season 15, Episode 19. Supernatural’s penultimate episode left a lot of fans scratching their heads in confusion. The episode saw Chuck defeated and left helpless while young Jack absorbed his powers and basically became God. There were echoes of the original planned series finale, the fifth season’s last episode “Swan Song,” as Lucifer and Michael fought each other, and both Sam and Dean took a bloody beating from a higher power. After Jack completed a particularly impressive ascension to a higher plane of existence, he left Sam and Dean in their bunker, drinking to…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 19 Review: Inherit the Earth

New DVD release, , , , ,
This SUPERNATURAL review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 15, Episode 19 There’s only one. Episode. Left. Nervous? Images of an empty world begin the episode, reinforcing that the Winchesters and Jack are basically all that’s left. An entire world emptied to prove Chuck right is a pretty harsh punishment, something he relishes when the boys call him out and decide to surrender — something they never do. But Chuck wants them to continue suffering. He likes this new twist to the story, and hopes the boys continue to put the blame and shame on themselves. Hey, at least all the disappeared…

For Supernatural Fans, The Destiel Development is Both Too Little & Too Late

New DVD release, , ,
This Supernatural article contains MAJOR spoilers. For Supernatural, it’s a tale as old as time: Things are chaotic with no solution in sight and an apocalypse on the horizon. When everything seems hopeless, a path emerges, one where sacrifice is the only solution. Supernatural is known for this and we have watched on for years as Dean, Sam, and Cas sacrificed for each other and ultimately come out on top despite things looking grim.  This time, Supernatural went a little too far with Castiel’s sacrifice for Dean and the rest of the SPN Family. Not that what Cas did was…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 18 Review: Despair

New DVD release, , , ,
This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 15, Episode 18 Only two episodes left. The clock marking time until the end ticks louder each week. Now, there’s a bit of an echo to the sound. Last week’s episode saw the Winchesters struggling against each other as it became clear that Billie’s plan to defeat Chuck was merely a power grab on her part. But naturally, things are never straightforward on Supernatural. Allies are not always allies, villains are not necessarily always villains. Billie’s attempt at grabbing Chuck’s position succeeded only in turning Dean’s sights on her instead of Chuck. Dean…

Supernatural Started as “A Terrible Rip-Off” Before Becoming Something Great

New DVD release, , , , , ,
As we get closer to the (deep breath) end of Supernatural, it’s natural to look back to the beginning. In that spirit, series creator Eric Kripke (known these days for Amazon superhero breakout The Boys) has been giving some killer interviews about the origin of Supernatural back in *checks notes* 2004. In a recent chat for the upcoming November 9th issue of TV Guide Magazine (via TV Insider), Kripke recalls his original pitch to The WB (which would eventually merge with UPN to become The CW) and how it led to the show we know and love today. In 2004,…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 17 Review: Unity

New DVD release, , , ,
This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 15, Episode 17 Only three episodes left after this, which means this episode had some serious ground to cover.  The episodes in this COVID-19-delayed portion of the season had thus far felt a little filler-ish. There was some character building and emotional admissions that made it all worthwhile, but still felt like we were holding back from really digging into the meat of what this season is all about — stopping Chuck. At least that changed by the end of the previous episode when Sam and Dean argued over Jack’s role in stopping…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 17 Trailer, Synopsis, and News

New DVD release, , , ,
Supernatural Season 15 was confirmed by The CW back in January 2019, obviously to no one’s surprise. However, it turns out that the Winchesters aren’t going to live forever, since we would later learn that said fifteenth season will be the final one for the long-running genre series, set for a 20-episode run. Believe it or not, Supernatural is the longest-running genre series in American broadcast television history. The series is also the last remaining vestige of The WB network, which merged with UPN in 2006 to create The CW network as we know it today. The latest news? Supernatural Season 15…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 16 Review: Drag Me Away (From You)

New DVD release, , ,
This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 15 Episode 16 Four episodes till the end.  “Drag Me Away (From You) is split between modern day Sam and Dean and young Sam and Dean, as they explore the scene of an old hunt that doesn’t seem finished.  This story happens to feature a hotel room with wallpaper more heinous than any creature from hell — okay maybe a little exaggeration. But think first of the many, many hotel rooms the talented production design folks at Supernatural have designed. All the wacky decor and wallpapers — all culminating in the loudest, most…

A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting Review: A So-So Supernatural Babysitters Club

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
It’s Halloween night, and the thing that most terrifies teenage misfit Kelly Ferguson (Tamara Smart) is making it through the popular kids’ party without being called “Monster Girl.” After the ill-advised choice to tell her peers about a traumatic incident of almost getting snatched by a monster as a child, the unfortunate nickname has stuck and tanked all hope of ever joining the in-crowd. It’s useful, then, that her mother (Crystal Balint) promised Kelly’s babysitting services to her ice queen boss Ms. Zellman (Tamsen McDonough) and her problem child Jacob (Ian Ho). But when that adorable child gets snatched by…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 15: Gimme Shelter Review

New DVD release, , , , ,
This Supernatural review contains spoilers! Supernatural Season 15 Episode 15 Sam and Dean take a little backseat to this week’s episode directed by Supernatural alum Matt Cohen. Jack and Castiel are where the majority of the story takes place as they investigate a series of gruesome murders connected to a church. It’s a feel-good moment to have a Jack/Cass adventure this week. We didn’t see Cass when the season restarted this month, cueing a fun confused reaction on his face when the boys mention the Mrs. Butters incident. Castiel used to be the source of all the awkward comedy when…

Supernatural Gets Its First Wood Nymph

New DVD release, ,
This article contains spoilers for Supernatural season 15 episode 14 “Last Holiday.” If you’re a fan of fantasy, you’ve probably heard of a wood nymph, or Dryad, before. Many of us will have first met them in C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, where they appear as the female spirits of the trees, but their history goes back much further than that, to Greek mythology. There are lots of nymphs in Greek mythology; they’re minor deities associated with different parts of nature. They look after everything from wells, lakes, and springs, to beaches, pastures, and cooling breezes. Water nymphs of various…

Supernatural Season 15 Episode 14: Last Holiday Review

New DVD release, , , ,
WARNING: This Supernatural review contains SPOILERS! Supernatural Season 15 Episode 14 The Final Countdown Begins. Supernatural is back, baby, and there are only seven episodes left until the end.  The previous episode of Supernatural aired all the way back on March 23, 2020. A little over six months later, the highly anticipated fifteenth season continues with “Last Holiday,” a mostly light hearted affair—and very nearly a bottle episode—that brings the boys out of quarantine and back into our lives.  We discussed the meaning of a “bottle episode” as evidenced so brilliantly in the episode “Baby,” a Season 11 highlight that…
