They take the opportunity to discuss this week’s Riverdale! As the war with Percival Perkins begins to heat up, we find out that the same five or so families have been living in Riverdale for 100’s of years. Also, Jughead is dimension hopping, as the show becomes the first story in years to make the multiverse confusing! Will the Taste Buds think this episode is better than Everything Everywhere All At Once? Will one of them call the show Jughead-Man: Into the Archieverse? Possibly!

Plus, the San Diego Comic Con has started! Cassie and Katelynn are live on the scene…not reporting in! So it’s up to Mike and Ryan to figure out all of the news that’s noteworthy and do a little update!

Then, it’s part two of Beyond Good and Evil, the 5-part X-Men: The Animated Series epic! Apocalypse has officially kicked off his big plan, and now it’s time to start rounding up psychics.

All of that, plus the Taste Buds check in on The Umbrella Academy, and watch the eighth and ninth episodes before they cover the third season finale next week!

Also, don’t forget to:

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn’t be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com

If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:

1.  Shout Your Abortion is a campaign to normalize abortion.

2. Don’t Ban Equality is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.

3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.

4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet. And five.
