Riverdale Chapters 6 & 7: You Need A Broad & Broach

We're back to start 2025 with tales of monsters (both inner and outer) and morality. We discuss Josie's family troubles, the show sidelining Val, Archie learning to rely on himself, Betty choosing herself and her sister over Archie, why the Coopers are the worst parents in the world, missing Cheryl for an episode, Cheryl choosing to do what's right, the war over Polly and her baby and the trap of masculinity.
