Dead Ends

Riverdale Chapters 74 & 75: Wicked Little Town

It’s the Hedwig episode! While we liked the music, we think the plot line fell a bit flat. We discuss how the episode only provides vague descriptions of the musical, the great drag costuming, and Betty and Archie being the center of the plot. We also talk about the reference heavy Lynch episode, Ethel once again being dragged through the mud, and getting to actually see Hiram be evil.Our amazing cover art is by vedrinic and you can follow them at https://vedrinic.tumblr.comEpisode 49 content warnings: cheating, sexuality, gender identity, emotional abuse, misogyny, mental health, violence, murder, deathTheme song: "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Follow us on Instagram at deadendspcast and bluesky @dead-ends.bsky.socialSend your podcast or show questions to our inbox at deadendspcast@gmail.com.Find all of Emily's links here: https://linktr.ee/emilypyleFind all of Brenton's here: https://linktr.ee/brentonpyle
