Episode Details

Supernatural Season 6 wrap-up 🎬 Berly and LA dig into the season six special features, the gag reel, and their favorite episodes of the season, and raise a glass to everyone we lost along the way, on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast.

First, thank you to MickCreamSweetheart (send us that fanfic link when it's done!), somegreenrock (hello from TikTok!), Abel1993, and AHill1981 for the lovely new reviews. Then it's on to the gag reel, where Misha turns a worm into a mustache, Robert Singer walks into a door in a doctor's coat, and Jared's Blue Steel is still going strong. Next up: Supernatural and the Quest for the Soul, where the writers talk Plato, the 21 grams experiment, the Well to Hell urban legend, and how Eric Kripke wanted season six to be like Chinatown, with human souls as the water everyone's fighting over. And finally, Jensen Ackles: A Director's Journey, a behind-the-scenes look at Jensen's directorial debut on Weekend at Bobby's.

Episode Highlights:

• Misha's worm mustache, and Jensen whipping a red handkerchief at him (no explanation given)
• The gag reel's loving tribute to Mitch Pileggi's run
• C.S. Lewis on the soul: you don't have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body
• Our theory: Sam's fractured mind looks a lot like Plato's three parts of the soul
• Dr. MacDougall's 21 grams experiment (and our attempt to remember the movie 21 Grams)
• Jensen's prep, his wood chipper nightmares, and that Okami ceiling shot
• Robert Singer mentoring Jensen (and giving him a little shit)
• Mark Sheppard describing Jensen as smart, efficient, and generous (now our new mantra)
• Berly's one unanswered question: how did Sam end up hunting with the Campbells?!
• Our toast to the fallen: Christian Campbell (Corin Nemec), Gwen Campbell (Jessica Heafey), Rufus Turner (Steven Williams), Samuel Campbell (Mitch Pileggi), Eve (Julia Maxwell), Dr. Eleanor Visyak (Kim Johnston Ulrich), Raphael (Demore Barnes and Lanette Ware), and Balthazar (Sebastian Roché). RIP, Deep V.

Our season six favorites: LA's picks are The French Mistake (so different, and Misha being a weirdo) and Frontierland (Dean's excitement, and that Phoenix). Berly's picks are Clap Your Hands If You Believe (Ben Edlund's writing, John F. Showalter's direction, and Serge the Sweetness' colors) and The Man Who Would Be King (Cas's point of view tied up every loose end). And coming soon: a separate episode on the Blu-ray exclusive Hunter's Guide to Season 6!

Your turn, hunters: What's YOUR favorite season six episode? And can someone please explain how Sam met up with the Campbells? Tell us in the Spotify comments, leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts (we might read yours on air!), or send us fan mail.
