Angel On Top

Scoobies, he's here. Spike ("AK William Bloody") is here. And now Angel the series is not just a legal drama—it's a buddy cop comedy!  You know, two genres Angel the series has always needed to be. That means petty Angel and jealous (?) Spike all night long.So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson (high on pain pills) and Morgan Lutich (high on life) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Just Rewards," the episode that taught up all the word "corporeal" and gave us a solid head count of who on Team Angel is a dead person.

Scoobies, a new era has arrived. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is dead. Long live Buffy the Vampire Slayer!  And with its ending, so endeth the Buffering the Vampire Slayer/Angel on Top FEUD. But the show must go on, as there is still one more season of Angel left. Which means Angel on Top just has to provide a corker of a return episode. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 premiere "Conviction," a re-pilot of sorts.

Alright, Scoobies. We have officially reached the end of the road. Not just for Angel Season 4 but for a couple of other big Angel the series features. But let's not cry because it's over; let's smile because it happened. (Except for the thing that is all Joss Whedon pettiness. We can riot in the streets for that part.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson* and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 4 finale "Home," after watching it the way it was truly intended to be watched: via a TV-Rip of the original WB airing, commercials and all. *LaToya also would like the record reflect that she realized Bananarama only covered "Venus" literally the second after the words came out of her mouth, but she didn't correct herself because she wanted to keep the typical perfect flow of the episode going.

Scoobies, we've all heard of full of grace but full of HATE? Wild. (Yes, this is a bit that mostly works if you've already listened to the episode, but just go with us.) Jasmine is back and bigger than ever, and while you would think that Connor would absolutely love that, it seems the boy has finally heard the tinkle tinkle. And he reacts to that fact in the totally normal way he reacts to everything. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Peace Out,"  complete with philosophical discussions and disagreements about whether or not the show did what it set out to do in terms of the big picture. You know, fun vampire TV show stuff!

As the Conheads have risen, Team Angel has fallen... all the way down to the dang sewers. Scoobies, do you hear the tinkle tinkle? Because it is back and more beautiful than ever. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Sacrifice,"  Ben Edlund's first Angel episode and one that stretches the believability of that whole "only folks in LA know about Jasmine" thing. But hey, it brings back all the hits, baby (the aforementioned tinkle tinkle, skittering, Angel's love of eating rats)!

Conheads, rise up—for it is finally your moment. Yes, we have possibly reached a point of no return for Team Angel... but we have also absolutely reached the peak for TEEN Angel. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "The Magic Bullet,"  an episode that continues to give them everything they want, including sexpionage and even more character actors.

Scoobies, have you heard the good news? Our friends are finally back in a good place, all thanks to Jasmine (aka Gina Torres). After a long, long fourth season, finally, Angel the series gives us everything we've been asking for. And not a tinkle tinkle in earshot. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Shiny Happy People," an episode that introduces the concepts of being faced with a Big Good AND long-haired Sam Witwer.

The time has come, Scoobies: SHE'S HERE. But more on that whole thing next episode. For this particular episode, we're talking the tinkle tinkle of "Cordelia's" evil piano music as the series FINALLY explains what the heck has been going on with our girl. (Short version: Joss fuckery. Long version: Free will possibly doesn't exist? We'll get into it) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Inside Out," a tale of two mommies, one DADDY (LaToya!), incels who fuck, and again, the tinkle tinkle.

Scoobies, this one is truly for the Gunn Squad! Bang motherfricken Bang. If you're part of the Squad and want to see our boy get some much-needed love, then at least half of this is the episode of Angel for you. And if you like bad renditions of Michelle Branch's music and somewhat poignant discussions of Blackness on The WB (post-its era as "a Black network," of course), then this is also the podcast episode for you. Two things! So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Players," an episode where everyone's favorite f-word—Gwen Raiden—returns, no one is on high enough alert, and, once again, Cordelia having once been "Ken Marino bug pregnant" is integral to the topic at hand. And as always: If you see something, SAY SOMETHING. LOCATE YOUR HOSTS ON THE INTERNET LaToya Ferguson: @lafergs Read An Encyclopedia of Women’s Wrestling Morgan Lutich: @lorganmutich Listen to La

Scoobies, it's funny how these things go. In any other instance, realizing that there's an episode of Angel where Cordelia Chase descends a staircase and delivers dramatic news could truly be one of the greatest things ever. But in this case, it is merely the culmination of Connor Angel not realizing that if you see something, you should say something. (Really, he doesn't seem to realize much of anything at all.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week—alongside eternal nemesis "Little" Jenny Owen Youngs—as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Orpheus," an episode that brings us Willow, Willow mourning the loss of her dead fish, and Willow hitting on Fred. There's also something with Angel and his shadow self...? But like we said: Willow is here!

Scoobies, good news: Faith is still here! And Angelus wears reading glasses! And... Gunn! Bad news? Cordelia and Connor's thing is still... a thing. (Now with more blankets, for some bizarre reason. Yes, that's the bizarre part of all of this.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Release," an episode that possibly ruins the word "daddy," makes them question Wesley (once again), and, naturally, inspires lots of intelligent discussion about Faith the Vampire Slayer.

Let's get right down to it, Scoobies: SHE'S HERE. ("Sharp Dressed Man" intensifies, we all lower our sunglasses to get a better look, etc.) Because Faith the Vampire Slayer is back, baby! Like we always say: We've never said a bad word about Angel Season 4 and are having the time of our lives here on Angel on Top.

Scoobies, do you like wordplay? No matter your answer, this week's Angel episode title might be a tad bit confusing to you. You see, it's "Calvary," not "Cavalry"... but if you didn't realize that, don't worry: They want you to be confused! Who is "they?" Possibly one of the episode's three writers but also most likely Joss Whedon, a man who—for some reason—keeps coming up in this episode discussion.So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Calvary," an episode that really highlights Angelus' pro wrestling heel work, Lilah's greatness, and... actually... might... be... a... good...

Scoobies, do you know what happens to a nerd when they have no leverage? The same thing that happens to everything else: Angelus, baby! That's right, after Angel Investigations' genius plan to put Angel's soul into a jar and pump Angelus for information, HE'S HERE.

Crack open a nice, warm bottle of dream milk, Scoobies—we're going into Angel's subconscious, baby. Much like us, Angel misses all of his friends—though he STILL doesn't know Fred and Gunn are an item—and he's got the dream Indiana Jones adventure to prove it.

Scoobies, our favorite freak (sorry to use that word) is back! That's right, Gwen Raiden is back, baby, and she is here... to join our friends in failing at stopping the Beast from blacking out the sun. Whoops. From freak to failure, baby girl.

Scoobies, a wise man with cool hair once sang, "The sky's gonna open / People gonna pray and crawl / It's gonna rain down fire / It's gonna burn us all." And you know what? The gang over at Angel Investigations really should've listened to him! I hear he has cool hair these days! Maybe if they had listened to him, they would have seen Season 4's "Apocalypse Nowish" coming. Because we all wish we could have seen it coming. (Cordy did though, as she kept on saying "it's coming" in this episode.) Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss how one bad apple (the Cordelia and Connor stuff) can spoil the whole bunch (an otherwise decent episode), potentially quitting the podcast, and how they're still definitely having so much more fun than those gals over at Buffering the Vampire Slayer.

Scoobies, do you remember "Band Candy?" Do you remember "Tabula Rasa?" You know, both episodes of television that were once discussed on that other podcast, Buffering the Vampire Slayer. Well then Angel Season 4's "Spin the Bottle" may seem pretty, pretty familiar to you. (Unless you also have amnesia. Can't help you there then.)

Scoobies, by now you probably know this: If there's one thing that us lovely ladies here at Angel on Top understand, it's physics. So you just know that none of the talk of supersymmetry (the titular concept) in this Season 4 episode (again, "Supersymmetry") went over our heads. Sorry, Gunn and Angel -- you have to get up pretty early to get one over on us. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss portal summoning logistics, trauma, the chatty rooms, and... sigh... the, let's say, progression of the C&C Ugh Factory story.
