Denim-wrapped Nightmares, a Supernatural podcast
Hosted by Berly and LA, Supernatural podcast co-hosts · EN
Do you like Supernatural Then and Now? Well, one of our guests called Denim-wrapped Nightmares their "bratty, little sister." And you know what? Accurate! 🥂
Join SPN family newcomers, Berly and LA, as they recap the Warner Bros. CW TV series, Supernatural, episode by episode. Over drinks, they'll discuss lore, gore, and what they adore about the Winchesters and their adventures.
As a way to keep in touch during the 2020 pandemic, Berly and LA started podcasting with their debut, anything-goes talk show, The Tipsy Exchange. During those discussions, Berly and LA realized that they most enjoy talking humorously about TV/Film, mythology, suspense, and hot guys.
A Supernatural podcast seemed a natural fit. It's a match made in heaven... or hell... you decide!
Now, let's get tipsy! CW/TW for violent and lewd commentary; listeners beware! 🔞

Dog Dean Afternoon (9x5)
2w ago00:39:57Tap to summarizeA taxidermist turns up dead in Enid, Oklahoma, folded the wrong way, and his specimens' organs are missing. The only witness? A German Shepherd named Colonel. The solution? A shaman spell, some truly unpleasant mystery liquid, and Dean Winchester becoming the world's most reluctant dog person.This episode is cheesy chaos, and we are not complaining. Berly loses it completely at least twice, LA dives into the surprisingly insightful world of shamanism, and they both spiral into some genuinely relatable self-reflection about emotional digestion.There's also a villain with incredible nails, a vegan bakery Dean treats like the mouth of hell, and a Leslie Jordan cameo that made us squeal.Oh, and the boys are still carrying some heavy feelings about the whole Ezekiel situation... and it's starting to show.💬 Did you ever think a Supernatural episode about talking to dogs would hit emotionally?

3w ago00:42:55Tap to summarizeWe're clicking our heels together three times and heading to Oz, baby, and it's not what you expected.This week, Berly and LA dig into one of Season 9's most unexpected episodes: a full-on Wizard of Oz crossover that opens in black-and-white 1935 and goes completely off the rails from there. Dorothy Gale is real, she's a hunter, she's been trapped in a jar in the bunker for eighty years, and she has opinions about men. The Wicked Witch is also real, she's furious, and she is not going to let a little thing like being tongueless slow her down.Charlie gets called in to help with a computer situation, ends up in the middle of all of it, and has what can only be described as a very big day. Dean's bedroom yields a crucial plot device. The bunker reveals a few surprises, including a garage (Baby is safe, everyone breathe), and Crowley, still chained up downstairs with his crayon, somehow manages to make himself useful.LA also gets into the surprisingly rich real history of L. Frank Baum, and it genuinely makes the Supernatural version of him feel less far-fetched than it should. This one was a good time. LA called it as a favorite before the episode even finished.Think fairy tale crossovers belong in Supernatural? Did you love this episode as much as LA did? Do you have theories about Ezekiel, strong opinions about those underwhelming ruby slippers, or a burning need to defend the slow-mo yellow brick road walk? Drop a comment and let us know... and if you're enjoying the show, please leave us a review! It genuinely helps us out and warms our little Winchester-loving hearts.

Transcribe →I'm No Angel (9x3)
Apr 1500:34:47Tap to summarizeCastiel without grace is not just “weaker” Castiel. He’s suddenly breakable, hungry, terrified, and learning in real time that being human means your body keeps making demands whether you’re ready or not. Berly and LA talk through Supernatural Season 9’s “I’m No Angel” and why it hits so hard: it turns a cosmic character into a mortal target right as Heaven decides to hunt him like prey. Over drinks, we trace the episode’s biggest story moves: Ezekiel’s uneasy partnership with Dean, the angels’ new leadership under Bartholomew, and the gruesome trail of bodies left behind as vessels become expendable. We also dig into the lore questions the hour kicks up, from warding and tracking to what reapers can do that angels apparently can’t. If you’re searching for a clear recap of the angel civil war plot, the bunker dynamics, and where Castiel’s human arc is heading, this conversation connects the dots without losing the fun. Then there’s April, the PB and J kindness, the bedroom turn, and the brutal reveal. We unpack what the show is doing with intimacy, trust, and consent, and how quickly “a safe place” can flip into another threat when Sam and Dean bring Cas back to the bunker only to have him pushed out again. Listen now, then subscribe, share the episode with a Supernatural friend, and leave a review. What do you think Dean should have done when saving Sam meant losing Cas?Sources:https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/I%27m_No_Angel https://www.watkinsmagazine.com/49-ways-to-connect-with-your-guardian-angelSend us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

Transcribe →Devil May Care (9x2)
Apr 800:47:55Tap to summarizeAbaddon is back, and she isn’t here to negotiate. We grab drinks and unpack “Devil May Care” from Supernatural Season 9, where the fallout from Dean’s desperate choice keeps getting louder: Sam feels healthier than he has in ages, but only because Ezekiel is hiding inside him and quietly taking control when things go sideways.We follow the case from a choppy, creepy cold open to a military base full of too-clean answers, then into an abandoned, poisoned town that turns into a trap. Along the way, we talk about why Tracy’s introduction feels like the show trying to hand us a new recurring hunter, why Irv’s betrayal hits a nerve, and why Abaddon’s philosophy makes her scarier than most villains. She wants demons who act like warriors, she upgrades vessels like gear, and she clocks Dean as the kind of “perfect vessel” that pulls the whole archangel mythos back into focus.Back at the Men of Letters bunker, the emotional core is Kevin Tran versus Crowley. The torture plan backfires into something more disturbing and more honest: Crowley craves attention, Kevin is spiralling, and Dean tries to keep everyone together while holding a secret that Sam can’t consent to. We close with a lore deep dive into the Goetia and demon hierarchy keywords like kings, dukes, princes, marquis, presidents, and the lone knight rank, then connect it back to what “Knight of Hell” means for Abaddon’s power.Subscribe for more Supernatural episode recaps, share this with a friend who loves the Winchesters, and leave a review.

Transcribe →I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here (9x1)
Apr 100:58:35Tap to summarizeLA & BERLY ARE BACK!Sam is dying, Dean is cornered, and the world has a brand-new problem: “superpowered dicks” are falling from the sky. Season 9 kicks off with “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here,” and we follow the premiere beat by beat, starting with that eerie, hazy cold open that turns out to be Sam’s last stand happening inside his own head.We talk through the hospital panic, Dean’s desperate prayer for help, and why the answer he gets is worse than silence. Then Ezekiel appears with an offer that sounds heroic until you hear the fine print: Sam can only be healed from the inside. That’s when we get into the real heart of the episode: consent is key!Human Cas is on the loose, and he is a mess after quickly realizing that he can feel pain, he can feel hunger, and his magic fingering is on the fritz without his grace. We wrap with our gore (but somehow forget to mention that horrific Hael scene), what we adored, our predictions for the season, and a quick lore dive into Ezekiel’s biblical background and why that name matters.If you’re watching Supernatural Season 9 for the first time or rewatching with fresh eyes, hit play and come argue with us.

Supernatural Music Extravaganza: Series Finale - Carry On My Wayward Song (Rights)
Jan 600:34:41Tap to summarizeWelcome to the series finale of Supernatural Music Extravaganza! In this episode, the Denim Wrapped Nightmares and In Defense of Fandom crews tackle the eternal question: "Why does my Supernatural sound different on {insert name of streaming platform}?!" Spoiler alert: blame capitalism!The hosts explain the wild world of music licensing, from the show's early "oops, we only bought DVD rights" days to the later "give us your songs FOREVER" era. Turns out those iconic needle drops cost serious upfront cash, which is why Season 1 Dean might be rocking out to "Generic Rock Song #4" instead of AC/DC. RIP original soundtrack, we hardly knew ye (unless you own the DVD).Featuring insights from Jensen Ackles on budget woes, a deep dive into why physical media matters, and heartfelt tributes to favorite Supernatural needle drops—from "Heat of the Moment" torture to Bob Seger brotherhood feels. Plus: important intel on where to snag those Radio Company vinyls before they're gone again.The moral of the story? Buy the Blu-rays. Buy the CDs. Stream responsibly. Go to the shows.

Supernatural Music Extravaganza: Volunteering for Mayhem - Mark Sheppard & Richard Speight, Jr.
Dec 3001:03:36Tap to summarizeWe're nearing the end of this special collaboration between Denim-wrapped Nightmares and In Defense of Fandom. Devastating, we know, but we're going out with a bang 🥁The final Supernatural Music Extravaganza Artist-on-Artist episode features Mark Sheppard and Richard Speight, Jr., in an unscripted conversation about accidentally building the best damn concert series in convention history.Mark's Journey: From touring stadiums with Robyn Hitchcock at 17 and co-founding School of Fish to walking away from music entirely when he got sober in 1990. Two decades later, he's back behind the kit at Supernatural conventions, and now touring with Dick Jr. and the Volunteers because—why not?Rich's Journey: This dreamboat drifted through dives in Nashville cover bands for free beer, had one record deal at 25 (RIP Fugitive Pope), then hung up his bass for dad life. Fast forward to conventions where he became a chaos agent—moving chairs against orders, turning sad karaoke into ragers, and masterminding the infiltration of Louden Swain disguised as "The Elastic Waistbands."How Saturday Night Special Happened: The Elastic Waistbands (voted Las Vegas' fourth-best lounge act three years ago 🎭) was Rich's trojan horse to get a real band into conventions. Rob Benedict had a stroke (damn his doe eyes), which somehow led to the first big Saturday night concert. Mark showed up, took one look at the equipment situation, and basically said "if we're doing this, we're doing it RIGHT"—cue the 53-foot trailer, massive PA, and actual production value. Philosophy: "Come back when you don't suck." SNS ain't karaoke.The Good Stuff: 🎵 Osric learning guitar in two weeks and destroying crowds with "Creep" 🎵 Jensen Ackles giving his stamp of approval and joining the show 🎵 14-minute "Raspberry Beret" featuring an 11-minute Grammy speech 🎵 Mark casually leaving $15K in drums in an unlocked storefront in Enterprise, Oregon 🎵 Billy Moran being an absolute virtuoso who makes everyone sound betterIt's about the magic of live performance, the Supernatural family, why making music with your friends beats everything else, and how they accidentally created a convention model that changed the game.Special thanks to Rich for allowing us to feature some of his band's music.

Supernatural Music Extravaganza: Convention Carolers - Rob Benedict & Jason Manns Unwrapped
Dec 2300:47:01Tap to summarizeHave a Holly Jolly Christmas... with Denim-wrapped Nightmares, In Defense of Fandom, and two guys talking about their musical journey!In this first installment of the Supernatural Music Extravaganza's Artist on Artist series (aka "SPNception"), Rob Benedict and Jason Manns unwrap the gift that keeps on giving: their unlikely musical empire built on the back of a TV show about two guys with shotguns. Consider this your Christmas present from the Supernatural music family!Jason reflects on those early convention days when he'd perform for crowds wondering "Who's the big guy?" (spoiler: he wasn't on the show), while Rob reminisces about Louden Swain playing to literally one person at 12:30 AM. They share stories about that pivotal 2011 European tour that almost didn't happen because ticket sales were... let's say "intimate," and how Saturday Night Special evolved from a disjointed variety show featuring Misha's dog tricks to the concert experience it is today.The duo discusses their journey from LA bars where friends were too busy catching up to actually listen, to convention stages where you could hear a pin drop during ballads. They bond over the shared experience of finally being able to call themselves musicians without feeling like imposters, the terror of that first fan convention (spoiler: the fans are VERY forgiving), and their continued shock that 20 years later, 60% of convention audiences are still brand new fans.Plus: How Jason met Jensen at a Christmas party (yes, really—the holiday spirit was strong even back then!), why Rob's mom thinks Jason is Jason Mraz, and dreams of a Supernatural music festival featuring approximately 45 bands with only six actual people.Special thanks to Jason for allowing us to feature a couple of tracks, which, thematically, are songs from his Christmas with Friends album.

Supernatural Music Extravaganza: Driver Picks the Music - Fan Artists Take Center Stage
Dec 901:14:53Tap to summarizeIn this special collaboration episode between Denim-wrapped Nightmares and In Defense of Fandom, hosts LA, Berly, and Sadie dive deep into the world of Supernatural-inspired music—because apparently, watching two gorgeous brothers hunt monsters for 15 seasons wasn't enough.FEATURED ARTISTS:🎵 Jackson Taylor explains how a freak accident and Dean Winchester literally saved his life. Nothing says "casual fan" quite like collecting SPN merch, writing multiple songs, and creating an entire anime project. He's not a fanboy though. Definitely not. 🔗https://www.officialjacksontaylor.com/🎵 Angel and the Deathlights discuss their hit "If You're Dean Winchester, I'm Misha Collins"—a play on an old emo track about being desperately in love with a fictional character. They also geek out about cutting vinyl records on 1940s analog equipment. 🔗https://music.apple.com/us/artist/angel-the-deathlights/1681200167🎵 Ambush Vin shares how Supernatural stayed constant through two marriages and reveals his "bio rap" tribute to Dean. When asked if he'll write one for Sam, he admits everyone asks him that. Sorry, Sam fans—Dean's just that guy. 🔗https://ambushvin.com/🎵 Nathan Ball explains how his band Southbound Fearing accidentally wrote a Billboard Top 10 hit with Supernatural themes, despite him being the only fan in the group. Picture a tour bus full of musicians while Nathan's in the back streaming episodes on his iPhone 5. 🔗https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/bury-the-fear/1737653619🎵 Reyna Roberts reveals how a teenage crush on Dean Winchester became her first country song—and eventually led to working with Beyoncé. She's now the "Princess of Outlaw Country," but still gets shy thinking about whether Jensen Ackles has heard her thirsty lyrics. 🔗https://reynaroberts.com/Whether you're into outlaw country, emo-pop, bio raps, or Southern rock, this episode proves that Supernatural's musical influence extends far beyond AC/DC and Kansas. As we are at the midpoint of our musical Supernatural journey, please check out these playlists of songs featured in our episodes so far!Apple MusicYouTube MusicSpotifyNow if you'll excuse us, we need to go Shazam some classic rock while crying about found family.Content Warning: Contains discussions of addiction, SH, and depression.
