Mr Badger Opens The Door ~ Chris Dunn
I consider you all my brothers and sisters ok no takebacks
So the Queen of Nothing (Holly Black) and Nesta’s novel (SJM) are both coming out in 2020 and I’m calling it: 2020 is officially the Bad Bitches year.
I ship stuff on shows to fill the void of love that I don’t get in real life. It also is a distraction from my depression but that’s another thing

SPOILER ALERT FOR THE PILOT AND FUTURE EPISODES
Jughead narrates the entire pilot and possibly the rest of the series
Jughead and Archie have had a major falling out, but Jug is still willing to help Archie out with something
Betty has ADD
Cheryl calls Jason her “soulmate”, twincest details will be gradually revealed over the course of the season
A body (probably Jason’s?) is found in the pilot
Veronica is very supportive of Betty
Josie and the Pussycats play at the school dance and have an additional musical number in the pilot
the pilot includes a threesome, spin the bottle, and a dance montage
Betty and Veronica kiss (many viewers seem to think it was just for show but that is TBD)
Veronica and Archie play 7 minutes in heaven and kiss/makeout
Archie is generally boring/a jerk/cheesy according to many people who saw the pilot (classic Archie)
Jughead’s beanie is “pronged” to stick with the classic look but in a more modern fashion
Jughead and Betty are going to be investigating the murder(s?) together
Betty and Veronica may kiss again
episode 7 includes a “taboo slumber party” in which many of the kids will be kissing
Midge will be in episode 2 and she is Moose’s girlfriend
Moose has a thing with Kevin (possibly meaning Moose is the closeted character that has been mentioned in a previous interview)
Sabrina will be brought in at the very end of the season as an escapee of a cult
KJ says Archie will be more decisive than in the comics and that he will choose between B&V by the end of the season, but also mentions that he’s pretty sure it won’t be permanent, as this is Archie Andrews we’re talking about here
There is going to be love triangle with the grown ups
KJ prefers having orange hair now, he and his cast mates think it looks weird now that he’s got it back to black
There will be a big halloween episode that will be a sort of homage to Afterlife With Archie
Archie writes a song about his relationship with Ms. Grundy in the pilot
The show will film for 6 months starting in September
“Josie is a very driven and stern character. We’ll find out why she’s like that and why she doesn’t let men specifically get in her way”
Cole says the show will have a lot of film noir genre elements
the showrunners teased that almost every character will be involved with each other at some point
UPDATE 7/24
Roberto says that the show wasn’t directly inspired by the New Riverdale comics and was set up before the comic reboot was announced
There are currently no plans to follow comic book storylines but that may change as season one progresses
Expect more of a B&V friendship than a rivalry
Cole and KJ are most excited to explore Archie and Jughead’s relationship, and their introduction was KJ’s favorite scene to film for the pilot
Madelaine was drawn to the project due to Cheryl’s “villainous nature”
Cheryl’s vulnerabilities and cracks in her façade will be revealed over the course of the season
There is a yet to be disclosed “insane hairstyle” for the Pussycats which Ashley loves
There are plans to write original music for the Pussycats that will hopefully be released as an album at the end of the season
Luke is incredibly impressed with all the young actors on the show
The show really wants to focus on being an ensemble rather than focused on just Archie
There will be other classic side characters brought in
Cole thinks it’s really important that Jughead is asexual in the comics
The show is working off the Mark Waid comics where Jughead does not have a defined sexuality, so that is still unclear for the show
Cole thinks Jughead will be a romantic interest/pursuit, but that first and foremost his love is for food
Jughead is a budding writer, a photographer, and an amateur sleuth
Jughead’s main concern is what’s going on in the town
Jason was shot
Jughead has been viewing everyone’s reaction to the murder from the outside, taking pictures, and asking “weird, piercing questions”
Cole says the show is very similar in tone to Rian Johnson’s film Brick (sidenote: fantastic movie, everyone should go watch it) and that Jughead is very much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character in it
Roberto says the show is inspired by Twin Peaks and Fargo and the aesthetics of The Virgin Suicides and Heavenly Creatures
The show has also been compared to Pretty LIttle Liars and Friday Night Lights
Cole watched a lot of film noir to prepare for the role and says he tried to mimic Morgan Freeman’s narration as best he could
Roberto’s favorite character is Betty because she is good in the middle of the chaos
Betty will be coming into herself and discovering her voice in season one
KJ has to dye his hair every week while shooting to keep the color
Roberto is hoping for a January 27th release, but that is TBD
i’ll update when/if more info is released!

YOUR NAME (2016) WEATHERING WITH YOU (2019)
Maybe you’ve already seen people talk about it, so I will keep it short.
Please start watching Anne With An E, because we need more views for a 3rd season!! Here are 4 quick reasons why, and there are many more for you to discover once you start watching:
1. It discusses important issues like racism, feminism, homosexuality, education, abuse etc. in the most beautiful way possible.
2. Poetic cinema is ON POINT literally every episode
3. The main ship, Shirbert (Anne Shirley-Cuthbert and Gilbert Blythe) is absolutely incredible and you will love it just as much as the entire fandom does.
4. Every character gets portrayed beautifully and you can really see that the actors and writers put their heart and soul into the show.
We need more views, we need more eyeballs or we won’t get a (well-deserved) season 3.
Help a desperate girl (and the rest of the Anne clan) out and start watching. Please🌻 (Also, it’s a good way to piss off the homophobic assholes who have been hating on the show since the beginning.)
Thank you💛
I needed to hear this today; maybe somebody else needs to as well
