It's season 3 episode 14 of Angel this week! Dang, this group went from no love triangles to multiple love triangles in a VERY short amount of time. All of this is even further complicated by the addition of another (slightly taller) goofy, brooding, OTP hot-man. Let's see if Angel can suppress his inadequacy complex and focus on his budding fatherhood. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Angel season 3 episode 13! It's "will they, won't they" all over the dang place this week. Fred is unknowingly caught in a love triangle with Wes and Gunn, while Cordi and Angel are stuck in a love triangle via ghostly possession. Long story short, lots of kissing. But, what's it all for at the end of the day? Did we kiss any solutions into the world? Thanks for listening!

Thie week join the crew as we delve into the profit maximization of paranormal investigations. Join us as we debate whether Angel is more reputable coiffed or uncoiffed and if Connor could afford Notre Dame.

Welcome to season 3 episode 11 of Angel! Unlike most Angel episodes, this isn't an Angel episode... it's a Cordi episode! After a brutal vision almost kills her, Cordi ends up in an out of body experience. Can she get back in the body? Come find out. Thanks for listening!

We can't believe how many laughs and tears were contained in those episodes and we can't wait for the next 300. We also want to thank YOU, our loyal listeners would have supported us all these years and without which this could not have been possible. As a thank you, we give you what we have threatened for almost as long as we've been doing this show...FAN FICTION (kind of).

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did making it! You can find a copy of Dread, the system we used, here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product_info.php?products_id=83854

Welcome to season 3 episode 10! Angel is in full dad/mama bear mode this week and doing his best in a wild situation. Not many new fathers need to deal with the threat of demons interested in "baby bone soup". Though, he could have an easier time of it if he just let his friends help. It takes a village, sir. Thanks for listening! P.S. the special episode celebrating our 300th will be out later this week due to technical difficulties. Thanks for being patient!

Welcome to Angel season 3 episode 9. This is the one with a baby!!! Darla finally gives "birth" and it's a boy. Why did I put "birth" in quotation marks? Listen and find out. We can all get together at Caritas tomorrow and talk about it, right? Thanks for listening!

It's Angel season 3 episode 8 this week! Welcome to baby drama headquarters, folks. Turns out it is a baby, unless the ultrasound was lying. That said, the specifics of said baby are still a mystery. Can Angel and Darla stay on the same page long enough to get a grip on the situation? If not, I know a vampire cult that's looking to adopt the little miracle. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 3 episode 7 of Angel! Anyone tired of talking about how, when, where, and with who Angel can/can't have sex? Anyone?... Bueller? Well, good. Because Angel is a zaddy now and his...kid(?) is on the way. Maybe to end all life. Maybe to poop and scream. Nobody knows and the show won't clarify. Thanks for listening!

Three podcasters walk into a room and only one knew it was a trap. This is a bit of a rough one gang. Join us as we slowly put the peices together of the plot.

Hello and welcome to Angel season 3 episode 5! Who are these texan strangers claiming to be Fred's parents? Fred never mentioned having parents. They must be demons, or eldritch horrors, or Wolfram plants...... something, but definitely not Fred's supportive, loving parents that's for sure. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this terrible and dark mystery. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 4 of Angel! Or, wait...is this Angel? Something seems off about our lead. I get a distinct "this is a body swap episode" vibes from him, but I'm sure it's nothing. Let's just hope this "nothing" doesn't ruin his credibility at the workplace. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 3 episode 3 of Angel! Welp, doing this again are we? The old race allegory episode. Gunn is being pulled between competing loyalties and tries to keep everything afloat. Unfortunately, that all comes to a head at Caritas with some pretty horrific, senseless violence. Will he decide to fight on behalf of all those in need, or, limit that to humans in need? Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 3 episode 2! Oh, Cordi...she can't catch a break. First she loses her throne then she loses her health. The visions are starting to burn, cut, and boil her. But why would The Powers do that? ARE The Powers doing it? Thanks for listening!  

Hello and welcome to season 3 episode 1 of Angel. 3 seasons, huh?! Angel is back from an emotional journey through southern Asia, which was actually more of some light combat. But he is back now, along with some old friends who are soon to be dead old friends. Thanks for listening!

Andddd that's a wrap for season 2! Join the crew as we discuss the second season of Angel, answer your questions, and predict the future of Angel and his friends!

Welcome to the final (we are almost 100% sure) episode of season 2! Can the gang find a portal home while also keeping their heads intact? Not that losing your head is a definite death sentence. Karaokeith proved that one. But we want to get out of here and if we need to incite a violent revolution to do that, well.... that's the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks for listening! Remember to get in your season 2 wrap up questions!

Welcome to season 2 episode 21 of Angel! We have left LA behind for the blue skies and entrenched prejudices of another world! But, hell, Cordi is living it up as a freshly minted princess and Angel can see himself in a mirror. So, goods and bads. More bads than goods though by the end of it, as we say goodbye to a beloved member of our circle. Thanks for listening! Remember to send season 2 wrap-up questions to: popculturerolecall@gmail.com

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 20 of Angel! Alright, everyone get in the portal! After Cordi was unceremoniously zapped into another dimension last week, the rest of the team (plus KaraoKeith) zap themselves in right after her. But when KaraoKeith says "they hate humans through that portal", that isn't going to cause any major issues, right? Thanks for listening!

Why hello there! Mike is out on his honeymoon this week. That means no Angel episode. But, it does mean that Collin, Stas, and producer Brian sat down to watch the semi-horror, semi-comedy, semi-thriller Ready or Not. Thanks for listening!
