They said we were going to “casually watch a couple episodes.”
They lied.
On this episode of What in the Hell is Supernatural?, two 50-ish grown men who somehow missed one of the biggest genre shows of the 2000s continue their first-time journey through the wilderness — literally — as we tackle Season 1, Episode 2: “Wendigo.”
Join VHS_Jase and Jason Roy Gaston as we head into the woods with Sam and Dean, confront early-series monster lore, and ask the important questions:
• 🌲 Why does every horror story start with “Let’s split up”?
• 🔥 Is this creature actually terrifying… or just aggressively damp?
• 📖 How does this episode handle Native American folklore?
• 🚙 Are the Winchesters already iconic… or just extremely intense road-trip brothers?
• 🎬 Is this peak early-2000s CW energy or a hidden horror gem?
We break down the mythology of the Wendigo, the episode’s atmosphere, the sibling dynamic between Sam and Dean, and whether this second outing proves Supernatural had “it” from the start — or if it was still finding its footing in the forest.
Plus: Jason tries to decide if he would survive 12 seconds in the woods, and Jase debates the practicality of hunting monsters in a flannel shirt.
If you’ve been riding with the Winchesters since 2005 or you’re watching along with us for the very first time, this is your campfire.
Grab the salt. Don’t whistle at night. And maybe don’t go camping.
