Buffy Speak

faith is a darling sweet angel and we love her VERY MUCH. also anthony stewart head continues to be the shining star of season three. also caroline has a cough.

we gush over this episode, profess our love for anthony stewart head, talk about supernatural (???), and read an EMAIL!!! we got an EMAIL YOU GUYS!!

this episode provides us with all the cordy development we've been begging for, except it DOESN'T AT ALL. we settle in for the stupidest of stupid plot arcs, willow/xander. cheating?? ON OZ???? inexcusable.

our love song to oz continues, but this time we wonder: why doesn't cordelia get the same narrative treatment? also: caroline wonders why angel doesn't annoy her until she realizes it's because he has two lines in the entire episode. also also: westworld! (spoilers begin after the ratings)

enter faith in this incredibly weirdly written episode. like doesn't the writing this season seem weird? is it just us? in any case Here We Are

we're not saying we HATED this episode but we are saying we had to actively try and find something that we liked about it, so. there's that.

back and better than ever with SEASON 3!! in this solid return to fork, we discuss whether joss whedon has ever actually seen a homeless person and beth short circuits when trying to remember which s3 episodes he's written. it's a real hoot.

POTTERSPEAK IS BACK! what starts off as a structured discussion of sorcerer's stone quickly evolves into a conversation about morality, houses and What The Movies Got Wrong (almost everything)

this episode: for all your rapey fish needs! we tackle aquatic anatomy, sexism, and also wonder where the hell oz is??

another season has come and gone and boy, we've really seen it all, haven't we? the end of buffy/angel, the beginning of spike's redemption arc, LOTS and LOTS of casual racism! we're here today to talk about becoming and season 2 as a whole – did we like it? love it? do we, in fact, want some more of it? who knows, but it's over with now.

if you're into weirdly extensive discussions of the philosophy of forgiveness then boy do we have good news for you!!

ya ever wanted to see a freddy krueger knockoff with sea anemone eyes suck the life force out of hospitalized children?? well WANT NO MORE you weirdo, this very special episode of buffy is just for you! we've got buffy backstory, we've got a creepy villain, we've got DEAD CHILDREN. what a fun time for everyone

y'all..... jenny DIED

xander and cordelia are cute! oz is a Good Guy (tm)! hearing beth eat gummy snacks on mic is probably better than hearing caroline eat popsicles! all these indisputable facts AND MORE on this week's episode of the PREMIERE buffy podcast.

in what is probably the goofiest episode of season 2 so far, caroline and beth manage to talk about most everything but this mediocre episode. we've got GAS. we've got GLEE. we've got OTHER THINGS. plus a brand spanking new recurring segment: IS THIS EPISODE FEMINIST?? who knows.

in a truly unbelievable turn of events, angel is FINALLY a compelling character. in an episode that beth is sadly very sick for, we basically talk for ~45 minutes about how amazing the writing here is. GO SEE QUEST FOR CAMELOT

this is it, folks! the big one for buffy and angel and we still... don't... care. is it US? like at some point it's got to be us, right? they're not doing anything to change and yet we still come back. oh well.

when is a bezoar not a bezoar? when this show has no idea what one is and just slaps the name on any random bad guy. join us as we journey deeper into season two and ask ourselves: why does no one cast actual southern people to play southern people? is there actually no end goal for the bad guy in this episode? and WHY OH WHY should we care about buffy and angel???

everything is cuckoo bananas in the buffyverse this episode. xander is actually really cool, buffy and angel are NOT insufferable, and everyone looks pretty great. we also discuss our tumultuous relationship with high school chemistry and probably take too much time wondering where kidneys are.

grab a snack/drink/consumptive item of your choice because this episode is a DOOZY, folks. you got suddenly badass drusilla, you got a new slayer with a frankly hilarious accent, you got two (count em, TWO) cordelia/xander makeouts. what a fun time we're all going to have.
