Grab your robe and slippers, night owls, because tonight we're dishing all the deets on the recent Supernatural episode that had more twists than a pretzel factory! Leave your disbelief at the door, because this week the Winchester bros battled freaky fairies masquerading as little green men. Cue the alien autopsy gags! But the real star of this show was Soulless Sam, whose sassy comebacks and snarky attitude delivered more laughs than a stand-up special. Watching Dean try to teach morality to his soulless sibling? Comedy gold! The creepy leprechaun trying to tempt Sam with getting his soul back provided spooky thrills, but the real horror came when Dean nuked a fairy with the microwave! Yikes. At least they stopped the nasty creatures by spilling salt and forcing them to count each tiny grain. As always, thanks for listening faithful fans! Until next time, remember – the truth is out there, but sometimes it's wearing green tights and pointy shoes!

This Week, Nate and Chrissy drink and discuss the comedic adventure where cartoon physics invades a small town.

We're diving into a world where the Grim Reaper meets the Giggle Factory. Imagine Sam, Dean, and Castiel tiptoeing through a landscape of cartoonish calamities, complete with anvils and improbable escapes—yep, we're talking about that kind of episode! We're gonna appreciate the masterful mix of edge-of-your-seat drama and laugh-out-loud absurdity.

Hold onto your hats because "Detective Cass" is on the case! Castiel’s side-splitting transformation into a gumshoe is nothing short of a comedic gem, and we're here for it. We'll also tiptoe down memory lane with Sam as he gets flashbacks to a slice of normality with Amelia, giving us a peek into the life that could have been.

As we explore the whimsical world of escapism and alternate realities, we'll chat about how sometimes, we all just need to press pause on the real world and play in a cartoon for a while. 

And of course, we can't gloss over the belly laughs delivered by the dynamic duo, Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles, whose comedic timing is as spot-on as a Road Runner escape. We'll dissect our favorite cartoon antics, the visual gags that had us in stitches, and the hilariously bizarre rules that govern this animated universe. 

Sure, we'll scratch our heads together at the villain’s motivations—which make about as much sense as a talking sponge—but it's all in good fun. 

So, as we wrap up, let's just say this episode achieved the impossible: blending the tones of suspense and silliness into a deliciously entertaining diversion that had us both on the edge of our seats and falling off them with laughter. Tune in, and let's get animated!

In this episode, hosts Nate and Krissy drink and discuss the flashback-heavy story showing Sam and Dean undercover at their old high school in Season 4, Episode 13: After School Special.

That’s right, young Sam and Dean investigate ghostly happenings at Truman High this week!

Appreciate the rules playing off the many flashbacks to the brothers' school days!

Note inappropriate behavior and outdated mindsets now seen as problematic!

Ok, so there are some complex themes around bullying, violence, guilt and the cycle of hurt people hurting people. We have to question some moral implications in the brothers' actions and the tone of this episode. Does it hold up?

We have a blast highlighting the fun moments like Dean teaching dodgeball in tiny shorts but the  main ghost plot unexpectedly dark for a lighthearted framing. Character motivations and the ending's emotional impact are worth a healthy debate but the bottom line: We love the rules and the flashbacks! It’s a monster-of-the-week story structured around looking into the Winchesters' early days and it still plays!

Get ready to feel the festive spirit in the latest episode of Gank That Drank! This time, Krissy and Nate have brought out all the stops to celebrate a Very Supernatural Christmas. 

The episode takes us back to 2007 as Sam and Dean exchange gifts, a magical amulet, and a broken Barbie doll, and we get all the feels. In the present day, Dean grapples with this being his last Christmas ever while Sam tries to make it bright and cheerful. 

But what's a Christmas episode without a holiday drinking game? Get ready for some festive hammering with rules for flashing back, sentimental scenes, meadowsweet wreaths, jingling tunes, and doorbells. According to Krissy, this super robust game conjures up some 46 drinks! So, drink ye merry people, while there's still time!

The episode also covers some jolly topics, including the sweet yet sinister pagan gods, Edward and Madge, the perpetual grayness of Ypsilanti, Michigan, Dean's lack of knowledge about Dick Van Dyke, Christmas porn, drug paraphernalia, impaling gods with Christmas tree branches, and the real meaning of Christmas: family.

So, get yourself some eggnog or peppermint schnapps and have a merry little drinking game with Gank That Drank!

In this episode, Nate and Krissy enjoy some drinks while recapping the story of Mrs. Butters, a wood nymph who takes care of the bunker. It's a unique bottle episode where a new character joins Team Free Will for some holiday hijinks in Supernatural Season 15, Episode 14: Last Holiday.

They appreciate the humor and levity that Mrs. Butters brings, including exotic smoothies and decorated bunkers. However, her swift changes in opinion about Jack highlight her unstable nature. The hosts analyze her motivations, backstory reveal, and inconsistencies. They also touch on the episode’s themes of enjoying life while fighting the good fight.

Jensen Ackles as Dean brings great comedic moments to the episode as he fully embraces the festivities. They note the Men of Letters’ poor treatment of Mrs. Butters in the past and question some plot holes in the group’s strategy with her. They also recall other instances of the show’s holiday episodes, discuss their favorite rules, and count their occurrence.

Overall, it's a delightful one-off story that provides some laughter before the season finale stretch. The hosts also look ahead to the classic season three Christmas episode “A Very Supernatural Christmas.”

Let's do the time warp again with Gank That Drank's tubular recap of Supernatural's radical time travel episode "Time After Time." Our bodacious hosts Nate and Krissy hop in the DeLorean to recap this totally gnarly episode where Dean goes back to 1944. Righteous!

The hosts give us the 411 on this freaky episodio where Sam and Sheriff Jody "McFly" Mills have to help Dean get back from the past. Heavy!

Majorly Important Points:

• Dean teaming up with the swingin' Eliot Ness in 1944 is most triumphant!
• They use some primo time jumping between the years - it's wild!
• Jody and Sam's research sesh in 2012 is a party on, dudes.
• There's some seriously funny time travel and pop culture references all over this episode. We dig it.
• They lay down some themes about fate vs free will - deep stuff, man.

Other Tubular Topics:

• We get stoked on the bodacious guest stars like Nicholas Lea as Ness.
• There's some kooky plot holes but we don't harsh our mellow.
• Dean's snazzy vintage garb makes him look most excellent.
• Seeing awesome recurring chars like Jody is always a thrillsville choice.

Like, this episode is a wicked fun bottle episode, dudes. Up next is "The Last Holiday" - the first rad Jack drinking ep! Hang loose!

In this fun episode, Nate and Krissy discuss the Season 4 episode of Supernatural called "It's a Terrible Life" where Sam and Dean find themselves in an alternate corporate reality. It’s a unique "bottle episode" where the Winchesters work normal office jobs. 

The highlight of the episode is Dean's portrayal as a well-respected executive, complete with NPR and golf. We also see Sam's dreams and Dean's skepticism about ghosts and hunting. After some coworkers meet grizzly deaths, the brothers investigate the supernatural happenings, taking a trip to the ominous Room 1444, taking on a ghost, and doing research with a familiar group's videos. They later discover that Zachariah put them in this scenario to teach them a lesson.

Nate and Krissy also provide enjoyable commentary on creative death scenes, the horror elements around Halloween time, and some entertaining plot holes and logistics questions. They also note the outdated use of "walkie-talkie mode" on a cell phone. Additionally, they share their general impressions, favorite moments, and ratings of the episode.

Overall, this is a great bottle episode that plays with the themes of fate and identity in an amusing way. Nate and Krissy look forward to the next drinking episode "Time After Time."
