About In the Mood for Chaos: A Riverdale Roasting and Recap Podcast
Evelyn has seen every episode of Riverdale. Miranda hasn't seen a single one. Each week, they traverse the winding, trash-lined road that is the absolutely bonkers plot of CW's hit series: Riverdale. Miranda gets 3 screencaps handpicked by Evelyn, and the episode title to try and predict what's going to happen this week. Evelyn then guides her through what actually happens. And it's always, always worse than either of them could have imagined.
Chapter 31: There is No God, Only Roberto (Musical #1)
Hello all, we’ve managed to extract ourselves from the 5-and-a-half feet of snow that dropped on us over the winter, and now that Miranda can open her back door and Evelyn can walk instead of wade through snowdrifts...it’s time:
At last, the first musical episode of Riverdale is upon us, and the question of the hour is, simply: Why?
Why is Carrie a musical at all? Why was Riverdale a musical at all? Why was Carrie: The Musical chosen to be said musical - other than Roberto’s weird Stephen King kink (Stephen Kink, if you will)? Why choose it if you don’t show the two really important scenes? Why is a student directing the school musical? Why is there a drama department, auditorium, costumes, lights, and sets but no drama teacher?
Why is everyone encouraging Jughead to be even more insufferable? Why is Alice in her daughter’s school musical? Why is Chuck back? Why is Sheriff Dad wandering around the dressing rooms unattended? Why is Archie such a bonehead? Why is Hal back? Why is Casey Cott (Kevin) not singing when he’s the only cast member trained in musical theatre? Why is Cheryl the perfect Carrie? Why does the Black Hood - surprise, he’s back - care about ANY of this?
And WHY is there a GIANT CHICKEN COSTUME!?!?!
We have no answers. Only despair.
Thank you, listeners, for your patience, as Evelyn finally gets her wish: She’s made Miranda watch her first full episode of Riverdale
***Note: Due to a different recording location and set-up, there are two background noises that we’ve done our best to minimize, but are present for the first portion of the podcast nonetheless. One is the ambient background menu music, and the other is Evelyn’s adorable cat trying to eat dinner. Our apologies.***

Chapter 30: The Nuns are After Us!
The Endless Torment of Cheryl Blossom, or as it’s more widely known: Riverdale continues to astound our intrepid hosts by finding new avenues of trauma to explore. This week, it’s conversion therapy. If that is understandably not something you want to engage with, listener discretion is advised.
Expanding on last week’s thesis that Nana Rose Cannot And Will Not be stopped; this episode she enacts a geriatric Mission Impossible-esque stunt to help the only 3 people in town who care about her grandaughter rescue said grandaughter.
Meanwhile, in a land of lower stakes, the campaign for student body president is still going on, as well as the parallel campaign for mayorship of the town, and it’s difficult to determine which to care about less. At least one involves Fred.
Jughead spouts off more insufferable garbage, Betty wants a tattoo, Veronica might be Catwoman, Kevin goes :O, Molly Ringwald continues to rule, and God help us all: Archie has a plan.
According to Evelyn, she is straight-up ”here to make your life worse” and later gets in a devastating roast in on Miranda; who, at one point, has to stand up and pace from sheer seething anger, but not before getting briefly possessed by Reggie.
Hanging over it all, the looming threat of the first musical episode darkens the horizon, promising that if it’s chaos we want, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet...

Chapter 29: The Unkillable Nana Rose
This week, it‘s all about elections in Riverdale! Couldn‘t tell you why, but there sure are at least 2 happening. Rivetting.
Hermione vies for Mayorhood as Veronica acts out by running for student body president - if only to fuel her obsession with smooching, Reggie comes up with an excellent campaign slogan, Hal is NOT the father, Betty gets threatening again, and don‘t even WORRY about it: We have yet another egregious Glee! comparison.
Our two hosts have this and more to contend with as Miranda calculates how long she has to skip town, Evelyn introduces us to the new character who occasionally possesses her body: The Duke of Scotchtape, and both are ecstatic with a long-overdue reaming out of Archie.
Oh, and can anyone tell them who Bravo‘s Andy Cohen is, or why they should care?
