TV Features Dial M For Maple

After offering up musicals, heists, and flashback episodes, Riverdale finally gets back to basics to spend some time with its beloved secondary characters in the charming “Bizarrodale.” And while it’s nice to see more of Josie and Reggie, Dial M For Maple is especially thankful for meaty plot lines for the show’s LGBTQ characters, Cheryl, Toni, Kevin, and Moose. Hosts Marah and Cameron commend the realism of the Choni drama, sing the praises of Gina Gershon, and wonder how much longer ‘til Josie leaves Riverdale for The Big Apple. Plus, Cameron’s mom has got us theorizing about the return of the man formerly known as Chic Cooper.
