Route 666 (1x13)

Berly and LA recap and discuss the season one Supernatural episode, Route 666. Over drinks, they'll discuss lore, gore, and what they adore about the Winchesters and their adventures. Now, let's get tipsy! CW/TW for violent and lewd commentary; listeners beware! 🔞

Summary: In the "Route 666" episode of "Supernatural," a truck aggressively targets and kills black men on a Missouri road, leading Dean and Sam to investigate. They discover the truck is possessed by the spirit of Cyrus Dorian, seeking revenge for his murder in the 1960s. The Dorian family's history of racial discrimination and violence is revealed, including the arson of a church and the murder of Cassie's father. The Winchesters confront the spirit, destroy the truck, and leave town, with Dean hinting at a potential future with Cassie. The episode draws inspiration from real-world concepts like sundown towns and Stephen King's "Christine."
