Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapters 12 & 13: Dismantling the Warlock Patriarchy

We’re back to Sabrina for spooky season! And Sabrina is running headfirst into the Academy patriarchy. We discuss the shows depiction of misogyny and the top person competition, which characters show up to support Sabrina and the men that let her down, Theo’s transition and transphobic bullying, Liliths suffering at the hands of the Dark Lord, Romeo + Juliet and why Nick is a great romantic lead. Plus you get some discussion of demons, the Epiphany and Angels in the Outfield.
