The Mystery Spotcast: A Supernatural Rewatch
Hosted by Klaudia Amenábar, Ollie Phresh · EN
It’s been years since the CW’s Supernatural ended. So why is it still such a phenomenon, and why are its fans stuck in a superhell love/hate relationship with it? What is Destiel, and why is its influence so large? Instead of trying to watch 15 seasons of TV to figure it out, join recovering SPN fans Ollie and Klaudia for their journey rewatching and recapping Supernatural so that you don’t have to. No Supernatural knowledge required.
