Sharp Teeth

Werewolves, Wisconsin Beer, and Winchester Brothers DramaWelcome to this episode of Gank That Drank: A Supernatural Drinking Game Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nate McWhortor sink their teeth into Supernatural Season 9, Episode 12 "Sharp Teeth" while sipping on Ruby Red Grapefruit White Claw and Wisconsin's Fat Squirrel brown ale. When Garth goes missing and turns up as roadkill in Wisconsin, the Winchester brothers discover their favorite hunter has joined a pack of "good" werewolves—or as they prefer to be called, lycanthropes.Can Monsters Be Good?This episode tackles one of Supernatural's most compelling questions: can monsters coexist peacefully with humans? While Dean remains skeptical of Garth's new werewolf family and their raw meat dinner parties, Sam takes a more measured approach. The hosts dive deep into the parallels between monster prejudice and real-world discrimination, noting the episode's uncomfortable echoes of eugenics when the villainous step-mother reveals her "purebred" supremacist agenda. Meanwhile, the Winchester brothers' relationship hits another rough patch as they struggle with the aftermath of Gadreel's possession and Dean's new Mark of Cain.The drinking game rules kept things lively with slaps (3-5 depending on who's counting), biblical references, Garthisms, and multiple shouts of "Ragnarok!" The hosts particularly enjoyed the awkward family dinner scene where Dean sits stone-faced while werewolves tear into raw hearts with their bare hands—yet somehow still bake normal pie for dessert.Additional Highlights:

• DJ Qualls delivers another memorable performance as the beloved hunter-turned-lycanthrope
• Wisconsin setting allows for perfect Fat Squirrel beer pairing
• Classic "bringing in the sheeps" church hymn gets stuck in your head
• Dean's lightning-fast knife throw showcases his Mark of Cain enhanced abilities
• The only Winchester hug goes to Garth, not Sam (emotional damage: severe)

Both hosts awarded "Sharp Teeth" four stars, praising its exploration of moral ambiguity while acknowledging some pacing issues. The episode successfully balances monster-of-the-week storytelling with ongoing mythology, though viewers might find themselves craving more Garth screentime and fewer Winchester brother therapy sessions.Ready for More Supernatural Drinking Games?Join Krissy and Nate for early, ad-free episodes and bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.
