This is a beefy one so BUCKLE up! Leah and Taekia take on the most important character in Supernatural: the relationship between Sam and Dean Winchester. Yes we're finally dedicating the proper time to track the ups and downs between the brothers as we chart the growth and strengthening of the most incredible bond in the universe. Think about it: t…

This is either the most fascinating episode of the podcast so far, or the one most likely to cause you a bit of existential dread. Taekia and Leah are taking on Death this week: the idea of it, the reapers who surround it, and the one homie with a scythe. At one point this conversation goes so off the rails, that one of your hosts says the word "de…

It's time for another entry of our award winning(?) Fix-It series! Leah and Taekia take on the arduous task of fixing season 6 and find it's actually not that arduous.

This episode feels like a satisfying stretch at the end of a long day, because Leah and Taekia FINALLY get to talk about the capital G Great female characters that appear throughout the second half of Supernatural.

Time to make yourself a nice cup of tea, hot chocolate, cocktail... whatever you drink to keep calm, because it's Part 1 of our women in Supernatural commentary. This episode Taekia and Leah go through the female characters we encounter in Seasons 1-7 of the show and the unfortunately shallow tropes they fall into. We're earning our critical scout …

FIRST OFF: This episode has a mission. Should you choose to accept it, you'll be sending us your thoughts and feelings because we're tackling the topic of women in Supernatural. This episode is a bit of a prologue to the topic. An amuse-bouche. A soupçon. A mere taste of what's in store for the next two episodes. And the taste is often sour, becaus…

In the first episode of their Fix-It series, Leah and Taekia decided to start with an easy one: Demon Dean. The duo take on the literal 3 episodes of Season 10 in which he appears, and write their own versions of how the character could have been better served with just a few small tweaks. Because, be honest, you wanted to keep Black-eyed Jensen a …

It's time for Return of the Jedi as Leah and Taekia reach the last episode of their Angel Trilogy. This episode they're chatting about the baby of the First Family of Heaven: Jack Kline. There's a lot of heartfelt discussion about empathy and compassion and frankly there's not enough of that in the world and it feels nice. Don't you miss feeling ni…

It's the middle child episode of our "angel" trilogy! Leah and Taekia buckle down to chat about the Angel Bros (tm): Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer. Raphael moved across the country and wants nothing to do with the family business, so we respect his wishes. And please enjoy the outtakes this episode. They're all, by sheer accident, along the same th…

Apologies in advance for Leah's audio quality. Someone forgot to check her microphone input before hitting 'record.' Just because a show has ended, doesn't mean the fans are done with it! Leah and Taekia begin their "angel episode" trilogy by discussing the worst excuse for a writer Supernatural has: Chuck Shurley. — For the best in gaming and pop-…

It's the last episode of 2020, so Leah and Taekia figured they'd look back at the year (decade?) gone by, and look forward to all the cool things they have planned for 2021!

You know. All four of them since everyone else has been Thanos-ed. Thanks, Chuck. They ALSO want to be clear. There is an extensive discussion of the …

This episode was called Unity and we think we can all be united in the fact that it DID NOT FEEL GOOD. Leah and Taekia discuss the Chuck of it all, Billie's secret plan, and decide how much of last week's discussion of Dean needs to be walked back. Jack IS family and no one will convince us otherwise. --- Don't forget to get $20 off your first cock…

You may notice this episode is a wee bit longer than our typical episode recaps. It's because Leah and Taekia accidentally spent about 25 minutes digging into Dean Winchester. Because, if this episode taught us anything, it's that the elder brother's end seems to be written in the stars. We're analyzing trauma on today's episode of Extraneous: Supe…

Taekia and Leah take a moment to revel in how very close we are to a new episode of Supernatural (feels like we've lived a lifetime since the last one... weird) and quickly go over the descriptions that are available for the next couple of episodes. But the bulk of this episode is an interview Leah did with pop-culture critic and writer, Mo Ryan. M…

Sometimes you just need to take a moment, or an hour, to have a serious, non-shipping based discussion. Taekia and Leah talk about Supernatural and its poor track record with race, both on screen (with the few and far between characters), and behind the scenes (where representation seems to be even more lacking.) Links mentioned: Donate to the Loui…

Upon listening to the last episode of this very podcast, Taekia and Leah realized they didn't actually dig very well into the content of the two trailers for the final episodes. So they're doing that this time around. We play Okay Stop with both the extended "Run Baby Run" trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBTwCWkOFKw) and the shorter "Troub…

Just like your favorite 90s cartoon dinosaurs, we’re back! Leah and Taekia talk all of the new trailers and photo updates from the Supernatural set.

Taekia and Leah are back in Beach City for one last time to talk about Steven Universe over all.

Steven might not be his mom, but Taekia and Leah feel a little responsible for him in this week’s episode of Extraneous: Steven Universe!

Take a moment to think of just... everything Taekia and Leah dig into this week on Extraneous Steven Universe! They get serious while discussing Mindful Education, a little silly with Uncle Andy, and spend an almost alarming amount of time trying to rationalize the human zoo. Frankly too much. There was talk of writing a paper. ------ Remember to g…
