HOLDING ON — When Jughead (Cole Sprouse) learns that an anonymous buyer has plans to tear down the local drive-in, he fights desperately to keep it open. Betty (Lili Reinhart) finds her friendship with Archie on the line after stumbling upon some startling information she’s uncovered about Miss Grundy’s (guest star Sarah Habel) past.
Elsewhere, Veronica (Camila Mendes) confronts her mother Hermoine (Marisol Nichols) about a suspicious meeting she witnessed between her mother and a shady Southside Serpent. Finally, after uncovering Betty’s diary, Alice (Madchen Amick) finds the perfect opportunity to destroy Archie’s golden boy image.
Craig, Russ, and Chris get together to talk about the second episode of Riverdale, and it's AWESOME.
Craig Byrne, Chris Hayner, and Russ Burlingame get together to digest the pilot episode of Riverdale, our new favorite show.
Even though we say in the episode that we’re going to try and do it, we don’t have any audio from Craig’s and Russ’s interviews in this episode. To make it up to you, we’ll have a special interviews-only episode next week, complete with exclusive content that HAS NOT RUN anywhere else yet.
We did, however, get to have a great talk about some of the big things going on in the world of Riverdale right now, including the status of season 2, the new schedule, some casting news, the soundtrack, and more.
You can get the soundtrack on Amazon here or on iTunes.
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 Riverdale and our show. Currently there's just one design -- #SheriffKiller-- but there's a full complement of new content coming in the next two weeks!
There's no new episode of Riverdale this week, but that wont stop the Archie Digest crew from delivering a new podcast!
This week, Craig and Russ are joined by Rob Raco, who plays Joaquin De Santos on the series.
Also, check out the Emerald City Video Podcast, where Russ and his co-hosts will be doing a "summer of Riverdale, pairing movies whose titles inspired Riverdale episodes with classic teen movies all summer long.
Trust us: There's a LOT of good stuff to come, even if we don't have new episodes of Riverdale just now.
