Episode Details

Supernatural Season 8 wrap-up 💝 Special features, a gag reel starring Jensen’s face-plant (shown four times), and the hosts’ favorite episodes on Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural rewatch podcast.

Season 8 is done, and Berly and LA agree these are the best special features yet: less “Are Michael and Lucifer brothers?” and more real behind-the-scenes goodness. Plus, fan reviews from Daryl and another listener who says the show makes them feel seen, a recount of every blood splooge this season, and more episode ideas for the hosts’ American Horror Stories-style revival list.

Episode Highlights:

• Why Bitten needed a veteran director like Thomas J. Wright, who couldn’t even watch the footage as it was shot
• The young cast was too good at camera work, so the crew had to tell them to slop it up
• The Herculean trials, the Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes, and why the tablets went back to angels and demons
• Jared Padalecki didn’t sign up for a show about religion
• Cas is “our Data,” Misha Collins’s lemon water for his gravelly voice, and a crew member’s microphone picking up his chest rattle
• Adam Glass in a Ghostfacers T-shirt (where can we get one?)
• The gag reel: Jensen’s face-plant, Jared Padalecki being a menace on set, and Ajay’s actor never breaking character
• LA’s favorites: LARP and the Real Girl and Pac-Man Fever
• Berly’s favorites: Blood Brother, Citizen Fang, Everybody Hates Hitler, and Hunteri Heroici
• The season’s blood splooge recount, which brings the series total to 72

The revival list is now over 50 ideas long, including Mrs. Tran’s backstory, the fairy tribunal, Aaron and his golem, and a lot more Ajay. Berly’s ongoing complaint is that the mythology gets crammed into the last few episodes again, and she wishes there had been more time with Naomi before she was gone. And as always, the season ends with a toast to the recurring characters the hosts don’t expect back, including Samandriel (Tyler Johnston), Martin Creaser (Jon Gries), Benny (Ty Olsson), Naomi (Amanda Tapping), and Meg (Rachel Miner).

“We’re gonna hit 100 soon.” – Berly
