Episode 123: Mummy Dearest

4/25/2024
Ulterior motives in MY gay lover? It's more likely than you think! This week Jamie's tinsel related struggles give away the date of recording, and debates about which Winchester is more Jesus-core were way more topical at the time. It's a talk shit, get hit world as the girls say RIP to Eve (still a better parent than John Winchester), and devise a venn diagram to capture Supernatural's affinity for both fridgeing their women & burying their gays. Thanks for your patience over the last week! In lieu of a formal announcement in the episode, please note that for the foreseeable future dptp releases will be fortnightly rather than weekly :) Find Driver Picks The Podcast here: linktr.ee/driverpicksthepodcast and Thief Steals The Podcast here: linktr.ee/thiefstealsthepodcast

Episode 121: My Heart Will Go On

4/4/2024
This week Beth comes prepared with new 6x12 Phenomenon evidence (POV: Crowley Edition) and Jamie retaliates to being kicked out of her own office by dealing 10 points of psychic damage with an update to the Sera Gamble Longcon.

Episode 120: ...And Then There Were None

3/28/2024
This week Beth's mad about Omaha and unnecessary character deaths (RIP Rufus & Gwen) while Jamie's just glad the Campbell storyline is finally over! She's more interested in educating us all about decades old Tourism Australia lore and vaguely theorising about Gamble's writers room strategies anyway (it's basically all one big game of pick up sticks).

Episode 119: The French Mistake

3/22/2024
In a very Jamie coded move, this week Ben Edlund wrote Sera Gamble a personalised meta-fic wherein her least favourite characters die tragically. Meanwhile Jamie casts Balthazar as a Sam side character and makes a compelling case for intentionally written Destiel while Beth headcanons Bobby having a petting zoo out back.

Episode 118: Mannequin 3: The Reckoning

3/14/2024
New burial site, who dis? It's a short one this week but the girls still find a way to devote time to classic Aussie children's entertainers, Jamie squeezes in two intros for one PSA, and Beth Cas codes Lisa while somehow simultaneously Lisa coding John??

Episode 117: Unforgiven

3/7/2024
This week the girls are back to discuss 'Sam's Death Dick: The Episode'. Beth is excited to see the continuation of the newly coined 6x12 Phenomenon, Jamie doesn't think Sam qualifies as a poor little meow meow (no matter how hard he tries), and The Dabb Effect is in full swing as season one calls and asks for not only it's aesthetics but also it's plot back.

Episode 116: Like A Virgin

2/29/2024
In an unexpected turn of events, this week Jamie gets evicted from her own study so that Beth can break down the 4th podcasting wall and address the audience directly about "The 6x12 Phenomenon". Meanwhile: Bobby is experiencing Big Emotions(tm), Sam is back to experiencing emotions (just generally), the audience is getting "Swooping Season (magpie POV edition)", and Dean defeats a large rock (while being a giant nerd about it).

2/22/2024
This week the girls are joined by special guest Beth (US edition) for Beth's (AUS edition) birthday! The squad is discussing everything up to and including; Death's food preferences, Dean's special resurrection outfit, Bobby's incredible parenting coming to bite him on the ass, and Sam's weird habit of getting talked into patricide.

Episode 114: Caged Heat

2/15/2024
This week the girls forgot to check if their microphone was plugged in (we apologise in advance x). Jamie is writing Adam centric fanfic out of spite this episode while Beth gives her take on Megstiel (and the relevant Live Dean Reactions). Incredibly impactful character 'The Pizza Man' makes his debut while the girls categorise all non-Winchester characters as either 'Sam characters' or 'Dean characters', and Jamie posits new theories (Evil!Sam?) and asks new questions (what is the link between soulessness and the functionality of the human endocrine system?) Find Driver Picks The Podcast here: linktr.ee/driverpicksthepodcast and Thief Steals The Podcast here: linktr.ee/thiefstealsthepodcast Jamie's fic 'And They Were Cellmates' mentioned this ep :)

Episode 113: Clap Your Hands If You Believe

2/9/2024
Better late than never this week as the girls try to figure out why this undeniably hate-crimey episode feels a bit... less hate-crimey than usual? Sam is truly Live, Love, Laughing his way through life as he remakes all the same decisions from season four (but he's less angsty about it this time), meanwhile Dean is vlogging with a Go-Pro mounted on a selfie stick, and Corbin Bleu is relevant in a way no one could have predicted (not even Jamie) TW: discussion of sexual assault 28min 48sec --> 32min 40sec (this ended up being very minimal, if the show itself is not too explicit for you then this discussion should be fine) Find Driver Picks The Podcast here: linktr.ee/driverpicksthepodcast and Thief Steals The Podcast here: linktr.ee/thiefstealsthepodcast

Episode 112: All Dogs Go To Heaven

2/1/2024
POV: you're a dog (you know this because of knee high shaky cam). This week Sam's returning to tertiary education via the combined convenience of sleeplessness and zoom, Papa Crowley is an icon as always, and Beth tries to reassure Jamie that the secondary characters of Gamble Era do get better. Other topics include; forgotten werewolf lore, Sam's weirdly recurrent interactions with vets (and dogs), and the concept of moral pretense.

Episode 111: Family Matters

1/25/2024
To celebrate Dean's 45th birthday(!!), this episode Jamie head-canons John buying Dean ice-cream? Meanwhile, Sam tries to act like he's always been against working with demons, Big Daddy Vampire is somehow one of Dean's most supportive parental figures, Dr Cas is in the house (but Sam's soul has left the building), and Beth shares some of her other media interests and the vindication of narrative cohesion.

Episode 110: You Can't Handle The Truth ~ ft. August of Saving People, Queering Things!

1/18/2024
Misogyny? in OUR fifteen season long CW show? (it's more likely than you think). Big Yikes abound this week as Jamie, August, and Beth re-write the episode in an attempt to make it more enjoyable. Meanwhile goddesses are ordering UberEats(TM), the PSA has Beth & August sharing braincells, Jamie applies Leverage's 'drink theory' to Supernatural's Hays Code, and the squad deliberates over the difference between objective, subjective, and emotional truths.

Episode 109: Live Free Or Twihard

1/11/2024
This week the girls know three things for certain. One, every single immortal ancient being is obsessed with Dean Winchester. Two, Lisa Braeden is the only normal person in this entire show. Three, vampire lore makes no fucking sense!!! Speaking of lore, yet more information about Sam's pathology is explored this week while Samuel Campbell is taking his wannabe Jurassic Park to the ethics committee.

Episode 108: Weekend At Bobby’s

1/4/2024
This week the girls are talking perspective (Dean's), perspective (Bobby's), perspective (debut Director!Jensen's) as Beth decides that if Hell is the kitchen bench then Sam is (meta-textually) a glass of room temperature milk. Jamie cites 'Bootleg Crowley' as yet another Dabb mis-demeanor and, in an unfortunate turn of events, Noah (number 1 Bobby Stan Of All Time) is not present to discuss Thee Bobby Episode.

Episode 107: The Third Man ~ ft. KJ of Supernatural Opinions!

12/28/2023
This week KJ joins the girls to discuss anything and everything up to and including; Castiel's Top Secret Body Chute, Jamie's new favourite funky little trash man, the impact of profound bonds, Sam using his pre-law education to write health & safety waivers, Jamie yet again traumatising Beth & KJ via the medium of "jokes", and behind the scenes DPTP production lore!

Episode 106: Two and a Half Men

12/21/2023
This week the girls try their hands at investigative journalism as they endeavour to determine the origins of the ABO universe via obscure Angelina Jolie references (@MishaCollins, drop your AO3). Jamie is astounded at the significant shift that seems to have come over the Supernatural writers room now that Sera Gamble is taking charge. Meanwhile, Beth spends the episode primarily confused (about both the spontaneous appearance of blood, and international varieties of pizza).

Episode 105: Exile on Main Street

12/14/2023
This week the girls gloss over basically everything as Gamble's revolutionary new era begins in the exact same way as Kripke's (burning a matriarchal figure on the ceiling for man pain). This episode introduces the new dynamic of: Sam (hairy), Samuel (bald), and Dean (micro-aggressed). Meanwhile, Jamie is covering everything from accusing God of both lying & identity theft to positing the concept of a "holy water bed", as Beth manages to bring everything back to 3x10 (it's a whole thing).

To celebrate, the girls are joined by representatives from the Pod Squad to discuss the truly epic highs and lows - this episode we're talking about Bert & Ernie, or was it Thelma & Louise??
