Cry Me A Riverdale
Summary: Cry Me a Riverdale is a deconstructive look by deconstructive boyshapes Jon Risinger (On the Spot) and Mikey Neumann (Movies with Mikey) that seeks to illuminate new things about the show Riverdale. These two super-sleuths will break it all down, Encyclopedia Brown-style, and unlock the secrets of a show that never should have existed in the first place.

Chapter 10: Fred attempts to finalize his divorce much to Archie's unsurprising objection, there's a party to end of parties, Jughead has a problem with birthdays, and we finally meet Archie's mother and it does not disappoint.
Chapter 9: Archie makes a series of unfortunate decisions, Ethel is back from the Stranger Things' Upside-down death-jail, and Alice continues to experiment with this thing we like to call "empathy and human emotions."
Chapter 8: Archie and his friends do the obvious thing you know is going to happen from the outset but a Moose gets wounded, so of course Archie plunges headlong into violent gang activity. Also, Betty's Mom turns over every leaf in the neighborhood.
Chapter 7: Cheryl does something illegal. Sheriff Old Chris Pine does something illegal. Fred Andrews does something illegal. JugDad does something illegal. All of the other parents do something illegal. Riverdale is illegal.
Chapter 6: Archie makes every bad decision he can, somehow screwing over Val, Josie, and Veronica MULTIPLE TIMES in the process, while Betty and Jughead galavant in B-plot territory that should be A-plot territory. Oh, and all the parents in the entire town continue to set a fresh, new bar for being garbage people.
Chapter 5: The Blossoms hold a funeral and memorial for their dearly departed son--as only they can. Veronica's mom reaches out once again to Fred with less-mixed signals this time, and Betty tightens her Nancy Drew hat while wearing a Hardy Boys shirt.
Chapter 4: Jughead acts like a real wiener until we know why he's being a wiener, Betty puts on her best Encyclopedia Brown hat, and all of the proverbial shit in the universe hits every fan in town.
Chapter 3: Cheryl becomes a human being, if only for a moment, Betty and Jughead become the Woodward and Bernstein of school newspapers, and Stranger Things' Barb finds a new home in Riverdale.
Chapter 2: A Touch of Evil. Archie falls further down the Grundy rabbit hole, Cheryl goes full-Patton, and Jughead learns about said rabbit hole.
Chapter 1: The River's Edge. The mystery of what happened to Jason Blossom come more clearly into focus, Archie shreds with brooding, acoustic softness, and Jughead eats food.
