Ok, good, you went into this completely unspoiled. I was worried about that. I finally saw this for the first time last week, got a rewatch in two days ago, and I knew this was coming as coming up eight years ago, the internet was VERY LOUD about this one in the circles I frequent. You know I do believe that you speak true about how there were Supernatural/Scooby-Doo crossover fanfic writers that did lose their goddamn minds with this one. I too surmise that this is the episode that your mom referred to. Answering the question of did we know that this was the episode that your mom referred to. As I knew of its existence, I did think it could be. Following viewings of the Wayward Sisters one, and last week’s episode, there was a thought that it could have been one of those. Given the reaction, I’m guessing this was it. Starts off nuts with the giant stuffed Betty. I know you’d take a giant stuffed Betty. If I had the room for it, I’d probably go for it. Sam won’t let it go, even with Dean encouraging him to be like Elsa. An analogy that doesn’t work as though younger than the boys, I’m old enough that the brain goes to a different Elsa who did not let it go. Love the genuine shock and surprise when the fun kicks off in earnest. God bless the legend that is Frank Welker who remains great as Fred and Scoob. Kind of figured you’d like Daphne. Grey DeLisle continues to be great as Daphne as she’s been since taking over from Mary Kay Bergman following her tragic death. This is my first time hearing Kate Micucci as Velma. She’s quite good in the role. And Matthew Lillard has Shaggy down to an art at this point, doing Casey Kasem proud. Glad that you had the better time with Dean’s unsuccessful courting of Daphne. I really hit my limit, yelling, “DEAN!!!” Sam even pointed out how she’s clearly with Fred, (despite that not being canon until the nineties, but the point still stands,) as if to highlight my grievance. See you had the nicer response to Velma flirting than I did. Love your reaction to the food. The gag with the Dagwood sandwich is, in fairness, something we’ve ALL wanted to try at some point or another, so I can’t give Dean shit for that one. Love how you comment that Dean has found his people. Sam never said he didn’t love Scooby-Doo, he’s just clearly nowhere near into it as Dean. Get reminded how I’m in the minority of having Fred as my favorite of the gang given how lots of people shit on him. And what’s with the ascot hate? Got the kick out of your reactions there. Got giggles over Stephen Stanton as Cosgood. Really spot on Boris Karloff impression that I adored. Love Castiel getting in the mix, and we both find it the most wholesome thing ever how he bonds with Shaggy and Scooby. He had me dying when he got into it with the sneaking walking animation. Nice to have the shout out to Animated Carol. You knew it’d go off the rails, complete with me yelling, “The BASTARDS! They killed Not Boris Karloff!!” They need to deduce who’s behind it. I suspect Red Herring!! He- wait, what? He had nothing to do with this? Oh, ok. Dean says about he’d take a bullet for Scooby. ...Fair. It has been at least about a decade since last seeing Scooby-Doo, and the lyrics are instantly recalled. Loved your dance to the theme. (The random Scrappy cameo makes you yell, “What the f-!” when you see it.) You say that it probably won’t be in the youtube edit. Yeah, I remember that copyright battle with Supernatural. It’s off Netflix now, and even then, I don’t blame you for not taking chances. The gang has the existential crisis when finding out the spooky shit is all real. They handled Zombie Island a lot better than this. (God, I love that one.) The mention of the Space Kook made me say, “Space Kook? The cackling dude in the astronaut suit with the skull face?” Somewhat sad I knew that so fast. I do remember Miner 49er. Love the reveal about the boy, and the boys and Castiel are very sweet with helping the kid after he does them the solid of playing along in getting the gang back to normal. Did not care for the kiss that Velma planted on Sam, yelling, “Bwaah!” Great how you clocked the shady guy as the bad guy. Loved your laughter over Dean rocking the ascot. He needs a better outfit with it. Love his glee when he gets to say the closing line, and Sam and I match with the “...What the fuck are you doing Dean?” response, and Castiel has the perfect dad voice in chiding Dean as he’s not a talking dog. Oh, yes, this one was lovely. Fun seeing it, reliving some boyhood days of watching the old show, and the direct-to-video films of the late nineties to circa 2001. Just a marvelous time shared with you on this Christmas Eve, Jess, thank you so much.
