Episode 192 – All The Right Moves
This week’s episode is All the Right Moves, a Sixth Season Stinker that we watch for the first time. The jists are this: Pacey’s boss invites him to a party where he sort of gets a promotion and meets his new temporary love interest. Joey, Harley, Eddie, and Professor Ears all hang out in Hell’s Kitchen in what might be an actual depiction of Hell. And Audrey, in the only saving grace of the episode, struggles with her insecurities, and desire to hide those insecurities behind a wall of drugs and alcohol. Jack and Jen briefly smile and wave at the camera during the cold open then are never heard from again, Dawson may as well be dead. We’re in a Season 6 rut, but we don’t let it get us down. Your hosts deliver expert comedic insight at every turn, despite being bored and annoyed by many of the things appearing on the screen before them. I assure you, though the Dawson’s Creek episode may be a stinker, the podcast episode is a solid C+. Do it! Theme by Sound of Days.

What can be said about the 6th season premier that hasn’t been said already on this podcast? Turns out, very little. This week we have a threepeat of a bad episode, which means lots of digression, rambling, and ignoring the TV show playing in the background. Some of you weirdos love these eps, I’m guessing most of you hate them. Either way, if you’re reading this you probably already downloaded so we got what we wanted out of the deal, suckas! I’m kidding, of course, we are only here to entertain, and we do it with every ounce of our ability this week. We make fun of Joey’s professor for his weird ears. We make fun of Jack’s professor for his weird khakis. We make fun of Pacey for his weird facial hair. We do all we can to make this episode fun and entertaining. Does it sound like I’m overselling it? Maybe I am! But whatever the case, after you listen to this you’ll never have to listen to The Kids are Alright on our podcast again. Rejoice, for another threepeat hath been slain! Theme by Sound of Days.

This week’s Dawson’s Creek episode is another one from late 4th season: Admissions. And while we are admitting things, I have an admission for you, dear listener: On August 14th 1986 I was involved in a hit and run accident on highway 79 just outside of Redland, Mississippi. I’d been drinking, he came out of nowhere, I hit him, I didn’t stop. I can still see his crumpled form splayed across the dividing line in my rear view, disappearing into the darkness behind me as I drove on into the Mississippi night. Whew, now that that’s off my chest, I can talk about how much we enjoyed recording this episode. Admissions is, as you might have guessed, a double meaning. It has to do with college admissions, but it also has to do with personal admissions. Joey and Dawson have to face their future, Jen has to face her past, ostensibly Jack and Pacey have problems too, but they aren’t really touched on this episode. There’s a lot of heavy, end-of-highschool angst that is building up to the episode we watched last week (Promicide). So that may be confusing. Thankfully we are here to guide you… guide you like headlights… blazing into the blurry night, mile markers whizzing by like fence posts. Suddenly: a man, at least you think it was a man, his eyes locked on yours, his terror evident. The screech of tires, the quick double-thump of all-season radials hitting flesh. And then the decision that had to be made. The decision that would haunt you for the rest of your life. If only you’d stopped. If...Episode 189 – PromIcIde
This week, on Creek of the Week, we celebrate #CreekWeek, and James Van Der Beek, while we seek sweet tweets and eat sweet meats. We are joined, once again, by fellow podcaster, and all around good dude, Sean Faust of the What does it Matter? Podcast. After an enthusiastic discussion about the exciting happenings of the week (listening in the future? Google it!), we roll up a classic, powerful episode: Promicide. You all know this episode, it’s senior prom, everyone is stressin’, relationships are strained, the future looms like a WWI dirigible on the horizon, ready to unleash painful reality bombs on these poor kids battling in the trenches of high school. That was a weird simile, and I apologize for it, but I will not delete it. So yeah, for most, the night ends in tears, for one… possibly the best night of his high school career. Depending on which ship you sail the hardest, you are either bummed or elated. Personally, watching the good ship Pay-Jo go down in flames is tough, but I can get through it with your help. Download. Listen. Embrace Creek of the Week like Jen embraces that airplane bottle of Smirnoff. Put us to your lips, nobody is looking. Go ooooon. The first drink burns a little, but it gets easier, and it just makes you feel good. This should stop now. Thanks for listening! Theme by Sound of Days.

Abby Morgan’s dead. Undead undead undead. On our third viewing of the funeral of Abby Morgan, we may not pay her quite the respect she deserves. Apologies in advance for any possible digressions, indiscretions, or blasphemies we may utter while dramatic Dawson’s Creek things happen in the background. It’s not that we don’t love it, we’ve just done this one a few times. So as a quick recap all the kids are dealing with death in their own ways, Jen by getting drunk and flipping out (cuz she rules), Dawson & Joey by making out, and Andie by shouldering an undeserved burden foisted upon her by a grieving mother. What few parental figures exist in the Capeside world try to offer words of encouragement, none more so than our beloved Grams, but for the most part the youngins are on their own to face the reaper in their own ways. Also: We sing a lot. Theme by Sound of Days.
