Show Notes

This week we zoom in on a seemingly perfect American small town rocked by murder, teen drama, and the aftershocks of Christopher Nolan. Join us as we discuss season one of Riverdale. Talking points: this show is obviously the heir apparent to MTV's Teen Wolf; the anatomy of a gritty reboot; distrust of perfection in literature; if a show about normal people doing normal things viable in our time; trashy teens and the twenty-somethings that love to laugh at them; how the orignal comics were buckwild; the importance of timeless design (and when to back it up; debts to Twin Peaks; and, hey, who killed Jason Blossom?
