Dawson's Darlings
Dawson's Darlings
Kim Moffat and Ashley Zazzarino
When’s the last time you watched Dawson’s Creek? When’s the last time you watched it along with two grown women, who are obsessed with each other (in a healthy way!). Kim and Zazz are watching Dawson’s Creek from the very beginning, and we want you to join. For Kim, Dawson’s Creek was a formative part of her young teen years, and since then has watched it all the way through a couple of times before this. Meanwhile, Zazz missed it on the first run and is now watching it all for the first time. After meeting on another WB/CW show (aw) and working in TV production for almost a decade (yikes), we’re using this incredibly weird time in our lives to rewatch and discuss every episode on a podcast - you know, just like our grandparents did.

Episode 504 - The Long Goodbye
It’s time for the episode Kim’s been dreading all series and Zazz has been dreading all morning. For sure the most brutal episode to get through, as well as (in our humble opinions) the best of the season. Just an exceptionally written hour of television. Season 5, Episode 4 - “The Long Goodbye” From HBO Max: As Dawson takes on the responsibility of holding the family together following his dad’s death, his friends all look for ways they can help ease the pain.
