Welcome to Angel season 5 episode....well, it's the last one. Time to say farewell to all of the friends and enemies we made along  the way. The Circle of the Black Thorn has to go and if we are honest, this isn't a fight we can win. But a fight doesn't need to be winnable to be worthy. Thanks for listening and we will see you in the wrap up!

Welcome to Angel season 5 episode 21! Angel is acting weird and the gang is going to get to the bottom of it! Kinda. We actually get to the bottom of what turns out to be a hopeless mission.

Hello and welcome to Angel season 5 episode 20! Remember to send in those season (maybe series?!) wrap-up questions to popculturerolecall@gmail.com. With the end of the season quickly approaching, the crew is probably knuckling down and starting to wargame the final confrontation with Wolfram & Hart. What's that? It's a filler episode about Spike and Angel stalking Buffy around Rome? Lots of jokes and comedic editing?Huh...that's a choice. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Angel season 5 episode 19! Illyria's struggles to understand her new place in this strange world come to a violet conclusion this week. Angel sees the writing on the wall and rallies the troops to kill the fallen god king. But after she single handedly saves Gunn from torture-hell, maybe we aren't all as keen to kill her as our boss. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome back to Angel season 5 episode 18! As we get closer and closer to the end of the season, we are saying goodbye to some secondary characters.

Welcome to Angel season 5 episode 17! While Illyria and Wes get drunk and talk about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness the rest of the gang goes dimension hopping in a modern day Herbie. Turns out that Bro Esq is trapped in hell, one of the hells, the one that looks like suburban LA and we need whatever is in his head. But he is in hell for a reason and nothing is free when you are dealing with eternal damnation. Thanks for listening! Also, be sure to check out the wicked cool new (fully funded) boardgame created by our friend Rhodrick Magsino over at: https://crowdfundr.com/arkyvrloot

Welcome to season 5 episode 16. We're dealing with the fallout of last week's episode and it's still a sad one. Add on top of that a secret betrayal and a turned table. Can you guess who's on the hot seat this time? Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 5 episode 15. It's one of the sad ones, folks. Fred is sick...not like "flu sick" but "incubating an elder demon sick". Sound kinda familiar? I'm sure the fact that Wes and Fred's newly founded relationship being sub 24 hours old won't lead to any guy wrenching sadness. Right? Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Angel season five episode 15! Well, when you infest a children's puppet show with demons you are going to see something new. Angel isn't quite himself this week after a one off investigation turns him into an INCREDIBLE puppet. Lots to enjoy this week so thanks for listening!

It's Angel season 5 episode 13 this week and we are flashing back in time to WW2. Did you know Angel was recruited by the US military to help fight the Nazis? Yeah, gotta say, it took me by surprise as well. But, like with any Angel storyline, it's not that cut and dry. But hey, at least he didn't fall for the "free virgin blood" schtick. Can you imagine?! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Angel season 5 episode 12! It's a flurry of old faces this week after Cordi FINALLY wakes up from her coma and Bro Esquire rolls back into town with some new ink. Cordi seems pretty much perfectly fine, which is surprising for someone who has been in a coma for who knows how long. But she is ready to get right back on the horse and start solving mysteries! Bro Esquire is very much not the same as he was before. Still missing a hand, but he does have a menagerie of new magical abilities. That and a chip on his shoulder. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to Angel season 5 episode 11! This week, Andrew is in LA helping us deal with a new slayer who recently murdered her way out of a mental institution. Dana, the slayer in question, is extremely traumatized and also extremely strong. Maybe Spike and Angel...the vampires, can handle the vampire slayer? The name is probably just an honorific, right? Thanks for listening!
