In the first show we've ever broadcast live, Chris, Craig and Russ interact with fans on social media in real time, discussing Chapter Eight: The Outsiders and answering questions and theories from the audience.
Since Russ is footing the bill for hosting and had to buy some new editing software recently so that he can make all this magic happen quickly and quietly, we’ll probably put together some kind of Patreon so that you can sponsor the show in exchange for swag soon enough. For now, though, if you want to contribute anything and everything, you can do so at Paypal.me/emeraldcityvideo. Anyone who contributes $10 and up will get an 8”x10”, framed original photo of Pop’s Chock’Lit Shoppe, taken by Russ Burlingame during one of our visits to the set of Riverdale.
We've also put together a RedBubble Store at https://www.redbubble.com/people/archiedigest/ where you will be able to get t-shirts, stickers, cell phone cases, and other goods inspired by Riverdaleand our show. Currently there's just one design -- #SheriffKiller -- but there's more to come in the next few days.

This is the second consecutive week with no Riverdale, and our listeners came through in a big way!
While our look at Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again last week didn't draw as many listeners as a regular episode of Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast, it still managed to acquit itself pretty well. And we had our first donor to the site (thanks MimiC...and more on that in a minute)!
This has been a chaotic week, and some of the plans for the show ended up changing on the fly, so don't be too surprised if the MP3 of this episode is cleaned up a little and quietly replaced with a slightly shorter one...but we wanted to make sure to get this out to you great, supportive listeners "in time." So here it is!
UPDATE: If you're downloading this after midnight Pacific Time on March 24, the show has been replaced with the final version. Don't worry; you didn't miss anything except about a half an hour's worth of stammering, coughs, and one anecdote that went nowhere. In exchange, you get a final cut with some incidental clips edited in for your entertainment.
ALSO, just for funsies: Russ tweeted a photo of a copy of the novelization of the 2001 Josie and the Pussycats movie that he got for his birthday, and ended up with birthday wishes and/or likes/retweets from ALL THREE of the 2001 Pussycats (Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson), plus Riverdale's Val, Hayley Law. That was kind of neat.
This episode is part one of a two-part crossover event with the Emerald City Video Podcast, in which Russ and his regular ECV co-host Zach D. Roberts look at Deidre & Laney Rob a Train, a new movie on Netflix starring Ashleigh Murray.

Lastly, you can check out a new tie-in comic Russ wrote for The Belko Experiment -- in theaters now -- at http://tinyurl.com/belkocomic. The story is set within the narrative of the film, which comes from director Greg McLean and writer James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither).

There's no new episode of Riverdale this week, so Russ, Craig, and Chris decided to check out Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again, a 1990 TV movie in which Archie Andrews is -- unsurprisingly -- the worst.
This time, though, so is the movie, and holy cow, we had some fun skewering it, all while trying to have a semi-serious discussion about what Riverdale does better, what it might learn from this movie, and more. We hope you enjoy it almost as much as we didn't enjoy watching this turkey for you.

Our podcast about a story about a town is running a little bit late this week due to technical difficulties, so please excuse our dust.
After this week’s episode, Riverdale won’t be back until March 30, but Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast plans on doing some cool stuff between now and then, so keep checking back.
Like last week, we have a guest host. This time it’s Screener TV’s Lindsay MacDonald, who works with Chris and is clearly the brains of that operation, while Chris is the beauty.

This week on Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast, we respond to possibly the biggest, craziest episode of the series yet — and that is saying something.
We also welcome on board Brittany Rivera, best known as a Screen Rant contributing writer but her dulcet tones can also be heard on The Flash Podcast and The Marvel Report.

The latest episode of Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast ran a little long — actually about another 15 minutes over what you hear here, since Russ ended up trimming quite a bit of comic book talk that wandered off into the esoteric and absurd.
We’ve got quite a bit going on this week. Obviously the biggest piece is talking about “Chapter Five: Heart of Darkness,” the episode of Riverdale that just finished airing minutes ago as of when this episode posted.
Other areas we touched on included the Riverdale comic book, which launches next Wednesday, March 1, from Archie Comics. We took a little time out to look at the sales pitch for the first three issues, including May’s issue of Riverdale which feels very much like a wink and a nod to a classic film starring upcoming Riverdale guest star Molly Ringwald!
Let us know in the comments whether you enjoyed the comics talk. It certainly seems germane to the podcast, and Russ writing for a comic book website it seemed to make sense to at least address it, but obviously if we’re going to add a few minutes to the show every month or so to look at solicitations and/or the comics themselves, we want to make sure the listeners are finding it enjoyable and worthwhile.
There’s also the matter of Beaverdale, a porn parody of Archie Comics recently released to capitalize on the increased awareness of the characters thanks to Riverdale’s success. You can check out the official trailer for this incredibly bizarre abomination below. If it’s your kind of thing, you can see it at PornHub Premium — although, no, we aren’t going to do an episode of the podcast for this one. Sorry.
(Maybe an episode of the Emerald City Video Podcast.)
