Join Krissy and Nate as they dive deep into the wild world of Supernatural‘s “Tall Tales” – an episode that’s part X-Files homage, part supernatural shenanigans, and 100% drinking game excitement! This fan-favorite season 2 episode features a trickster, multiple unreliable narrators, and enough crazy scenarios to keep you on the edge of your seat (and potentially your barstool).
The episode centers around a series of bizarre incidents that seem too weird even for the Winchester brothers. From a professor’s ghostly romantic encounter to an alien abduction and an alligator attack, Sam and Dean investigate a campus haunted by increasingly strange events. The unique storytelling approach mimics the classic X-Files episode “Bad Blood,” with each character presenting their own dramatically different version of events.
The highlight of the episode is the introduction of the Trickster (later revealed to be the archangel Gabriel), played by Richard Speight Jr. His electric chemistry with Dean and knack for supernatural pranks makes for some of the most memorable moments in the series. The hosts discuss how this character became so popular that the writers likely planned to expand his role from the very beginning.
