Hey guys. Remember us? We used to do a weekly podcast about Dawson’s Creek. Well, due to many circumstances coming together at once (both hosts moving, a broken computer, the usual constant, nagging depression at the state of the world around us), we have been absent from your ears for far too long. In our attempt to dip our toes back into the cool waters of the podcasting world, we decided to watch a film that is both Creek-adjacent, and entirely appropriate to semi-current events. The movie Dick stars 2 Dawson’s Creek Alums: Emmy award winners Michelle Williams, and Harry Shearer. One of those two is featured a bit more prominently than the other. Dick is a hilarious tale about two teenage girls who find themselves wrapped up in a famous presidential scandal, and though it was made 20 years ago it feels eerily…. familiar. I can’t put my finger on why, but I think you might notice it as well. There are a million dick jokes, and a million cameos from the greatest the C-list had to offer in 1999 (no shame though, we both love the cast of this movie). We are here to watch it, and commentate upon it for your listening pleasure. Thank you to all our listeners who still have us on their feeds, and bear with us while we do dumb stuff like watch a 20 year old movie instead of the show that bears the name of the podcast.

No new-show announcement, no Dawson’s Creek talk, nothing super interesting really. Just Eric & Josh getting back in the studio to knock the rust off the mics and put something on tape. If you like our pre-show banter segment, think of this podcast as that… for an hour. Why would you listen to that, you might ask? Your guess is as good as mine, but thank you if you do. http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/wotw_000.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

As promised, we end this show as we began it, with our favorite teen-deflowering episode ever to air on television: A Winter’s Tale. You know what happens: Ski trip, naked fumblings, Dawson kills a guy. We’ve all seen it. It’s what happens before and after Dawson’s Creek that make this particular podcast special. We started doing this never expecting anyone to ever download or listen. From our first twitter interactions with listeners, to emails and mentions on DC forums, we realized what really made podcasting fun was not talking to each other, we’ve spent more than enough time doing that in our lives, but talking to other people who share a similar interest in this dumb teen soap, and a similar weird sense of humor. This last episode is a tribute to everyone else who really made our show something that we will never forget. It may sound like we are just reading emails of people heaping accolades on us, but I hope it comes across that the feeling is, very much, mutual. To everyone who contributed over the years, or everyone who never said a word and just lurked and listened. Thanks for making this podcast with us. It’s been fun as hell. But keep an eye on this feed because we will have more stuff coming that we hope you like. Peace! http://media.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/p/content.blubrry.com/creekoftheweek/CotW_227-4x14_2.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe:...

Our next to last regularly scheduled episode is a doozy. For the fourth time we watch the entire series finale of Dawson’s Creek. Our love of this episode is well established, but we felt a final run-through was warranted as our time winds down to its inevitable conclusion. Is a recap necessary? Ok fine: 5 years later, Dawson runs TV show, Pacey owns restaurant in Capeside, Joey editor and engaged? Jack teaching in Capeside, dating Doug in secret. Jen single mom. All gather for Gail’s wedding. Fun times. Jen faints. Not fun times. Jen dying. Gang Sad. Dawson and Pacey still love Joey. Joey can’t decide. Jen says DECIDE BITCH. Jen dies. Joey decides. Jack kisses Doug in public. Dawson meets Speilberg, Joey Pacey OTP. On top of the double ep we have a lot of banter and several awesome emails. Which brings this show’s runtime in as one of our longest ever. Just in time for Christmas traveling and avoiding confrontation with racist family members! You’re welcome! Now what did you get us? Huh? Oh? Oh no… thats cool. I mean yeah why would you? I mean we don’t even know each other so I get it it’s fine. We have been dropping hints about emails and voicemails but you’re busy, and money is tight so don’t worry about it it’s fine. I gotta go I’vegotsomethinginmyeye.. Theme by Sound of Days.

For our final first-time episode we are treated to Eastern Standard Time, and find it just delightful. It’s senior skip day, but Pacey can’t go because he’s already skating on thin Ice, but is eventually convinced by Drue to go anyway. Dawson grabs Gretchen and heads out on an ill-fated road trip. And Joey & Jen head to New York to settle some unfinished business. So we have hilarious bar-antics, a romantic beach make out sesh, and high drama from the always-amazing Michy Dubz. We enjoy this episode a lot, and find it to be a fine one to finish our first-watch run. We also read some incredibly kind emails, and bask in the love of our listeners, which is seriously a little overwhelming as we wrap this thing up. Thanks everyone for listening!

This week we finish off our last unwatched 3rd season episode which finds (some of) the gang going on a road trip, ostensibly to check out college, but everyone kind of has their own agenda. Joey meets AJ AKA The Worst, and begins their dumb little thing. Dawson has his Blair Witch knockoff entered in a film contest, and finds himself horribly outmatched and embarrassed. Jack is checking out the local queer scene for the first time and getting out of his shell a little bit. And Andie is spending the day with a secretary who seems happy to stand in for her therapist. All in all, it’s kind of a filler ep with not a lot to offer, but it definitely has it’s moments, and if you’re an AJ fan, you’re in for a treat watching him mansplain and insult Joey all episode long. I hate AJ. Like, I know I say that in the show a bunch, but I really hate that weasly little fucker. I try not to curse in these synopsis because it messes up itunes, but lets be serious. He is a weasly little fucker who starts out treating Joey like garbage, til he decides he has a thing for her, then in a later episode he lords his knowledge of literature over her like that’s some great feat. No shit, you’ve read more books than her, she’s in High School and you’re in college. You’re dating a child. To top it off he makes his FUCKING EX, who obviously still has a thing for him, pick Joey up at the bus station. It’s...
