Who’s that Chic? A bleak Riverdale leaves Dial M For Maple on edge

It’s dark, dark days on Riverdale in an episode that starts with a cheerleading squad in mourning, and ends with Betty’s realization that the Black Hood could be closer than she ever imagined. Dial M For Maple tries to find the levity in it all, but then that “Lollipop” ringtone brings us back to frightening reality. This week, Cameron is joined by special guest host Gwen Ihnat who helps connect the mysteries of Riverdale to the classic films of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch. Plus: Is the Black Hood wearing contacts?
