And a Rewatch Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

It's time for an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery party this week on Mythic Quest. Who's ready for "The Villain's Feast"?

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) have returned to talk about this absolute banger of an episode with the very funny and talented writers of it: Megan Ganz and Humphrey Ker! (Their adorable pug Hilda also makes an appearance in this episode. Go follow her adventures on her Instagram.) 

They tell us how the episode came to be, writing it together, what it was like for Megan to direct it, and share some incredible Easter eggs (that will make you want to rewatch the episode immediately). 

The group also talks about the two big surprises in the episode, why bringing Storm into this co-worker game night was important, Ian and Poppy's relationship this season, and so much more.

Enjoy!

P.S. You can watch Humphrey on Hulu's Welcome to Wrexham, and support Meg by watching Mythic Quest! If you're in the U.K., you can also buy tickets to Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas.

While Paige (@thoughtsbypaige) is sick, Chels (@Chels725), Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Eoin (@EoinDaily) return to talk all about their favorite reality shows and soaps!

The gang covers the first design challenge of the season and wonders why, after 17 seasons, some queens still don't take a sewing class. Tensions are high as some queens tattle on others for not using the provided materials, while others are thick in their drag delusion. 

Elsewhere, our Traitors are making bold and messy moves as egos take over and the fight to be the king of the castle emboldens them to target each other. The misogyny deepens during the challenges as the gamer bros continue looking out for one another. Plus, it's Boston Rob vs. Bob the Drag Queen at the roundtable!
