Pop Culture Role Call

It's Homecoming week in Sunnydale which means two things: 1) a lot of teenage popularity contest drama, and 2) a SAW style murder game at an old abandoned cabin. You know, like, just high school stuff. Thanks for listening!

This week we have a another classic whodunnit, and the Sunnydale gang is on the case! Oz, our primary suspect, is in his three night werewolf cycle as two Sunnydale locals suspiciously wind up mauled. But on the Hellmouth...nothing is quite as it seems. Thanks for listening!

New characters are introduced left and right this week as Buffy meets the new slayer in town and starts talking to a new non-Angel love interest. Stasia herself does not want to have any part of it. Everything seems "five by five" until "Tostino's" shows up and a secret is revealed from a past episode. Thanks for listening!

This week we REALLY start to get into the nitty gritty! The episode is like a case study in how not to deal with emotional stress and interpersonal issues. Join our gang at the zombie infested hootenanny where it all comes to a head! Thanks for listening!

And we are back! Welcome everyone, to season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This first episode splits its time between our super heroine and her gang of sidekicks. Xander and Willow are holding down the Hellmouth, with middling quips and zero kicks. Meanwhile, Buffy is begrudgingly falling back into the same old "save the world" routine. Thanks for listening!

This week we took one small step away from Buffy, but don't worry we stayed in the Joss Whedon family! We took some time to watch and discuss the 2014 film "In Your Eyes". Was it a psychological drama or was it a lighthearted romantic comedy? Turns out, that all depends on who you watch as. Thanks for listening!

Season 2 of Buffy is behind us, which means it's time for a season wrap-up! Sit down with our hosts as we review our thoughts from the end of season 1, talk about the arc or season 2, and our hopes for season 3 and beyond. We even have an audience question or two sprinkled in there to spice things up! Thanks so much for listening.

With this, we come to the end of season 2! Everything in Buffy’s life comes to ahead in this episode, and we do our best to unpack it all. Angel pulls his “Big Bad” pants up. Spike graces us with his quippy presence. And we get some light, recreational torture….yeah. It’s a heavy one but we're here for you. So thanks for being there for us, and thanks for listening!

This week we are coming at you with part one of the season 2 finale! We get introduced to the third "Big Bad" plot...fourth? I'm losing track. Anyway, the gang finds a Technopagan floppy disk spell that might be key to re-cursing our buddy Angel. But should we? Could we? Come on in and find out!

Nothing new at Sunnydale this week, just another string of brutal teen murders. The highschool swim team seems to be the target, as a few of the boys end up as piles of skin. Undeterred, Xander goes undercover and Willow goes to knock some heads together. It's a veritable whodunit! Thanks for listening!

This week the gang encounters a poltergeist wandering the halls of Sunnydale High, slamming Xander’s head into lockers and knocking over yearbooks. Unfortunately, this ghosty also has a penchant for gun violence and verbal/emotional abuse. This episode is a bit divisive, so let’s talk it out! Thanks for listening!

Buffy can slay vamps and baddies all the live long day, as long as she's nowhere near her worst fear: the modern day hospital! Buffy and the gang needs to unravel a medical mystery before the fever dreams sink in. Join us as we confront our normal and perfectly rational fears: monsters, doctors, and unchaperoned children.

As the gang searches desperately for an effective unvitation spell (it's a word), they are forced to deal with the psychological torture of the demon Angelus. It starts off all fun and artistic, with nice charcoal sketches and some light fish murder, but things spiral from there.

Love is a powerful drug…and lust is a dangerous one! This week, Xander takes his normal boyish bad manners a bit to far, and ends up on the wrong end of an angry mob. Maybe it’s time for him to learn of those life lesson things? We shall see. Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode, we are joined by our good buddy Nile from the It Gets Weird podcast! And oh how appropriate it is, as Sunnydale finds itself terrorized by a cryptid classic: the Werewolf! Does Angel find his humanity? Does Willow finally get those smoochies? Let's find out!

It’s a downer week as all the hosts have to deal with their romantic relations completely in flux. Add on top of that a Power Rangers villain, supportive choke slamming and the fact that everyone’s Solid Snaking. It turns out to be a pretty crazy birthday for Buffy.

This week we explore part one of the sultry two episode special! The Judge is here to bring about an apocalypse, and on Buffy’s birthday no less.. It’s almost as good as her other gifts: prophetic dreams of her love interest’s untimely death, and aggravated assault from a disembodied arm. Stick around until the very end for our first scene with musical accompaniment, trust us, it was necessary. Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode, we are jumping back into the drama-prone land of Sunnydale! It's sex-ed season for our High School crew, so let's partner up, grab an egg, and just hope against hope that there isn't a supernatural infestation. We really don't have time for that, not with Angel and Buffy about to take their relationship to the next level. Thanks for listening, we're excited to be back!

The gang this week takes on the Tarantino classic Reservoir Dogs. Accusing each other of being a rat to not quite remembering what Quentin Tarantino looks like. Sit back, relax, and get yourself into a Mexican standoff for this Movie Break.

In this week’s episode, Buffy’s mom is showing up in a big way! She has a new love interest, Ted, who is trying his best to fit into this tight-knit group of friends/family. He comes with gifts of pizza, cookies, and picnics! I'm also relatively sure he isn't a cyborg or anything... Come on in!
