Dragons, Virgins, and Cringe-Worthy One-Liners: A Supernatural AdventureWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor as they dive into Supernatural Season 6 Episode 12 "Like A Virgin"—the much-anticipated dragon episode that Supernatural fans constantly reference. After Sam's soul is restored and Dean's heroic complex kicks into overdrive, the boys face mythical beasts, questionable pickup lines, and enough cringe moments to fuel a drinking game.The Soul-Crushing Setup & Dragon DramaThe episode picks up with Sam finally getting his soul back from Hell, complete with Death's mysterious wall keeping those traumatic memories locked away. But there's no time for emotional processing when virgin girls start disappearing and getting "snatched" across the country. The investigation leads to everyone's favorite mythical creatures—dragons—who apparently haven't been seen for 700 years but are now collecting virgins and gold like some twisted fantasy game. Dean channels his inner knight by attempting to wield the legendary Sword of Brunswick, though his approach involves more C4 explosives than chivalry.Lies, Maps, and Awkward Not-HugsThis episode delivers peak brother dynamics as Dean desperately tries to protect Sam from the truth about his soulless year, leading to a drinking game goldmine of lies between the boys. Bobby struggles with his own feelings about Sam's return, Castiel remains endearingly naive, and there's an abundance of maps scattered throughout their research montages. The hosts particularly enjoyed counting the cringe-worthy moments and pop culture references, including Dean's Comic-Con quip and various Batman jokes that definitely didn't age well:

• Dragon fight sequences that left viewers wanting more actual dragon transformations
• Dr. Visyak's introduction as Bobby's mysterious contact with serious chemistry potential
• The revelation of Eve as the "Mother of All" setting up the season's big bad
• Drinking game rules included shots for awkward not-hugs and sips for every "dragons" mention
• Over 50+ drinks total for players following the full ruleset

Final Thoughts & Next Episode PreviewWhile "Like A Virgin" delivers on Supernatural mythology and character development, both hosts agreed the dragon execution felt budget-limited despite the episode's ambition. The real treasure lies in Sam's emotional return and the setup for bigger threats ahead. Next episode ventures into Season 12 territory with "Regarding Dean"—promising bunny encounters, witch drama, and what the hosts describe as "top notch work from Jensen Ackles" in a frequently memed episode.Connect with Gank That DrankCatch Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor live at Neighborhood Comedy Theatre in Mesa, Arizona, where they'll buy you a drink at the Sacred Pint if you mention you're a listener.
