(Recorded May 4, 2025) This week we are discussing episode eight (ep nine for the purposes of this podcast) of the cult classic revival of Dark Shadows, that we’re calling, “There Can Be Only One," and boy is it a doozy. Josette finally arrives to Collinwood and we finally find out the origin story for that stupid music box. While Barnabas rolls around in the grass with Josette, Angelique doesn’t even wait a day to cast a spell that will ruin his life in many ways. Victoria stays not beating the allegations that she’s insane and a witch (and that’s not even because she taught the children Over the Rainbow). Jeremiah keeps being hot (the brocade vest somehow makes him hotter?) and unfortunately, that hotness leads to his downfall. Plus, Meaghan discovers a late 80’s gem, George does the Bartman, and we discuss what would've been a more satisfying approach to ruining a life had we been Angelique. (Original network airdate February 15, 1991)

(Recorded on April 30, 2025) This week we are discussing episode eight (technically episode seven!), “You, Me, and du Prés” from the cult classic, 90's tv show, Dark Shadows. We’re introduced to the Collins family in 1790 as Victoria Winters is hurled back in time via a séance gone wrong. Victoria stumbles her way into the position of tutor at Collinwood (with the help of a very handsome Peter Bradford). Barnabas keeps telling everyone how much Victoria looks like Josette (we get it dude!). We finally meet Barnabas’s hot brother, Jeremiah and the fact that is just now showing up is a real disservice to the show. Barnabas’s nosey Aunt Abigail can’t help but think there is something off about Victoria and enlists the help of Reverend Trask. And Angelique does her best to seduce Barnabas but when things go wrong she finds her own minion in Ben Loomis. Plus, George has a lot of thoughts on theaters that are also restaurants; Meaghan tries her hand at a French accent; and we both think Angelique is going after the wrong brother.

(Recorded on April 20, 2025) This week we have a very special episode we're calling, “Opening the Coffin,” and we are chatting about the first half of the season of Dark Shadows with Dustin Holden from The Rewatch Recap! We do a special speed round of questions with Dustin: favorite character, favorite episode, which Collins family member he would dress as if he was invited to the costume party, etc. Dustin fills in some gaps for us with his knowledge of the original series. We talk what about works and what doesn’t work in the series (very little!). And Dustin hints at what we can look forward to in the last half of the season! Make sure to check out The Rewatch Recap (especially the Ghostwriter retrospective!).
