Love bites and so does Famine! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor from Mesa’s Neighborhood Comedy Theater as they dive into one of Supernatural‘s most disturbing Valentine’s Day episodes. This chunky episode serves up body horror with a side of burgers as the Winchester brothers face off against the Horseman Famine in a tale that makes cannibalism look like romance gone wrong.
The Feast of Famine
Our hosts break down how Famine’s hunger-inducing powers affect everyone differently—from couples literally consuming each other to Castiel’s newfound obsession with hamburgers. The episode brilliantly shows Dean’s emotional emptiness through his immunity to Famine’s effects, while Sam’s demon blood addiction becomes the key to victory. It’s a masterclass in character development disguised as monster-of-the-week horror.
Drinking Game Carnage
This episode proved to be a heavy drinking game with rules including drinks for “Smooch City” moments, Dean’s drinking, deaths (double if named), demon smoke, Cupid hugs, Sam questioning Dean, the word “hungry,” and every time Castiel eats. The hosts hilariously disagreed on counts, with Krissy tallying 18 instances of “hungry/hunger” compared to Nate’s 8, proving this episode was as packed with content as Famine’s victims were with food.
