CREEPS! This week we bring you an extra special episode of DC; we’re recording in PERSON! This recording went so swimmingly we decided to upload it with zero editing. Hopefully you enjoy the raw, uncut Creeps Gone Wild version of our art. If you do, let us know! If you hate it, also let us know, but take solace in the knowledge that we don’t get the opportunity to record in person very often so it won’t roll around again any time soon! - Z
We hope you’re ready to do the right thing Creeps cause you’ve been going steady with us for four seasons now and we’re “Late” (Original airdate April 25th, 2001. Written by Chris Levinson and Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by David Petrarca). This theme has got you going and coming: Joey is late to surf the crimson tide, Gail is late to deliver her unwanted baby, Gretchen is late for going back to school, and we offhandedly learn that Jackers is chronically tardy. It all hangs together! If you want to hang together with us, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow would make a simply lovely birthing soundtrack.

Roses are red / Mr. Peterson is so dumb / but Creeps there is NOTHING gay / about this poem. We watched “To Be or Not to Be...” (Original airdate February 10th, 1999. Written by Kevin Williamson and Greg Berlanti and directed by Sandy Smolan).This is a doozy! Get ready for a crash course in 90’s misunderstandings about sexuality and for a Pacey so beautiful and just that your horniness may tear your whole life apart.

We are ready for our closeups Creeps because this week we ARE “His Leading Lady” (Original airdate February 3rd, 1999. Written by Darin Goldberg and Shelley Meals and directed by David Semel). We get object lessons in bad behavior from manic pixie dream girl in training Devon (aka RACHEL LEE COOK) going full method on Josephine, to Jawson wallowing in his breakup by forcing everyone he knows to help him make a movie about it, to a man trapping a hungry and unwilling woman at bible study, and even Saint Pacey ignoring pleas for space in order to engage in some light breaking and entering.
If you want to learn from our impeccable behavior, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps). Need a soundtrack for your demented heartbreak reenactment film? Might I suggest our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow? Join us next week when I pray Abby Morgan will be back to spice up the Creek!

In these uncertain times of great transition, we had to take a week off as Gabby relocated and we all adjusted to this very crappy sci-fi dystopia version of The Circle. In honor of staying in and compulsive cleanliness, we bring you another throwback from our Run & Stumble days: The People Under the Stairs. This is a truly choice Wes Craven joint (that Gabby urges you to watch) where we all learn to live inside forever and to destroy the rich and redistribute their hoarded assets. We’ll be back next week to pop open some shelf stable D Creek season 2 and regale you with our lived experience. Till then Creeps, wash those hands, stay inside if you can, 6 feet from others and remember: “Sometimes, in is out.”

Rally all your remaining pep Creeps because this week we watched season 3 episode 2 “Homecoming” (Original airdate October 6th, 1999. Written by Greg Berlanti and directed by Melanie Mayron). Eve continues her student exchange program from the land of the Fey folk, Pacey fails to understand the evil of surprises, Jack negotiates a gay détente, Joey finds a throuple, Jenn takes on the cheer mantle of leadership, and Dawson makes propaganda and buys condoms. Speaking of birth control, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps).

Sometimes pain just makes the pleasure that much sweeter and that’s the case with this almost-lost episode “Guerilla Filmaking” (Original airdate February 6th, 2002. Written by Julia Rask and directed by Jonathan Kasdan). We had to brave the sting of rerecording an episode to bring you the joy of our white hot rage re Wilder as predator and to unpack the true birth of our beloved OT3. We also get back into the magical world of film and making art with the whole gang which is Fun. Not fun? Getting set up for next week’s ep by manic pixie dream ghost Joey.

If there’s anything your humbly hosties love it’s recording a whole ep tip to tail and definitely not losing half our audio and doing an emergency rerecord. And it is with that intrepid spirit that we wrap up season three and march bravely toward 2025, Yale, a new inn, and season four 🫡
