Supernatural fans, grab your salt and your shot glasses! In this episode of Gank That Drank, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor dive into Season 5, Episode 5: “Fallen Idols.” Get ready for a wild ride as the Winchester brothers face off against some unexpected celebrity ghosts in Canton, Ohio.
The episode kicks off with Sam and Dean investigating a mysterious car crash involving James Dean’s cursed vehicle, “Little Bastard.” But the supernatural surprises don’t stop there – soon the boys find themselves up against the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Gandhi. As the body count rises, our favorite hunters realize they’re dealing with a wax museum gone haywire, courtesy of a mischievous forest god with a taste for celebrity worship.
The heart of this episode lies in the strained relationship between Sam and Dean. Still reeling from Sam’s role in starting the apocalypse, the brothers struggle to find their footing as a team. Dean’s overprotectiveness clashes with Sam’s desire for redemption, leading to some classic Winchester melodrama. Can they overcome their trust issues in time to stop a bloodthirsty Paris Hilton?
Krissy and Nate break down the episode’s highlights, including:
- The return of the classic “ghost breath” effect
- Dean’s adorable baby-talk to the cursed car
- Sam’s unexpected Spanish skills
- The hilariously dated pop culture references
- A critique of the unusual wax museum set design
Our hosts also dive into the drinking game rules for this episode, which prove to be both plentiful and challenging. From chugging every time someone says “Little Bastard” to taking a shot when Abe Lincoln kills, this game is not for the faint of heart (or liver).
As the episode wraps up, Krissy and Nate discuss the significance of Dean finally letting Sam drive the Impala – a small but meaningful gesture that hints at a shift in their relationship. They also touch on the broader implications for Season 5’s apocalyptic storyline and speculate on what’s to come.
Whether you’re a die-hard Supernatural fan or just looking for a fun drinking game podcast, Gank That Drank delivers laughs, insights, and a healthy dose of Winchester brotherly love. So pour yourself a drink, settle in, and join Krissy and Nate as they gank that drank and break down one of Supernatural’s quirkiest monster-of-the-week episodes.
