A discussion about Supernatural, Season 1 Episode 3 "Dead in the Water" in which Diana and Liz talk about the nature of evil in humans (aka people who don't like big buckets of chicken are evil), the evolution of the characterization of Dean (aka maybe he isn't a total douche), and the occult use of sodium chloride (aka why salt is like a phallus). Oh and also poop magick. Yup. Poop magick.

Diana and Liz talk about Supernatural Season 1, Episode 5 - Bloody Mary. You know Bloody Mary, the legend where if you stare into a mirror long enough you see a terrible ghost who rips out your eyes, and not just your inner turmoil. We talk about Sam and Dean confront the ghost. And how Liz confronts this lore and finds the charming town of Whitewater, Wisconsin, where the local beer has amazing branding and once Spiritualists roamed free.

The Phantom Killer Presley, James

I'm covered in bees! I'm covered in bees! This week's episode looks at Season 1, Episode 8 "Bugs." Diana gets upset at Sam putting his feet all over Baby, we talk about the famous bee scene, and then for our lore we delve into the curse of Old Town Spring, Texas, where things burn down. A lot.

Things that Liz searched this week:

• "How long does it take flesh-eating beetles to devour a human corpse down to the bone?"
• “Can you tell the age of human bones by looking at them?
