S05E03 – Blame it on Time Travel – The Replacement

Buffy is back this week! Season 5 episode 3 is a Xander episode, well, it’s actually a Xanders episode, plural. The show walks some familiar ground with the “evil clone” schtick but it also tosses us a fun little curve ball by casting Nicholas Brendon’s (Xander) identical twin brother Kelly Donovan as said “evil clone”. It’s a cool idea and it works really well! Thanks for listening.

Movie Break – Green Room – Dogs Murdering Some Teens

Happy Wednesday everyone! Stasia is still out on an archeological dig contributing to the relentless pursuit of knowledge, so this is officially week one of our multi-week break from Buffy.

S05E02 – Sister Sister – Real Me

Howdy! It’s the second episode of season 5 and some big ch-ch-ch-changes are already rolling into our lives. On the big/good changes side of things, Giles bought a magic store from a mysteriously murdered old friend! On the big/weird side of things though, Buffy has a new sister who has a crush on Xander… Did Buffy jump the shark or is this season going to get weird? Both? Thanks for listening!

Movie Break – The Cabin in the Woods

It’s our mid-season break week this week, which means we aren’t returning to Sunnydale quite yet. But don’t worry, we are keeping it in the Whedon family with Cabin in the Woods! Is this a slasher movie? An office culture dark comedy? A reality television show? That’s for the elder Gods to know and us to find out. Thanks for listening!

S04E21 – If a Forrest Dies in the Woods – Primeval

Howdy folks! It’s action time for this TV show that sometimes has action. The gang is hot to trot, strapped up, and heading in to show Adam what for! But who needs guns, stakes, knives, etc? That stuff is SOOooo boring. We take a page out of Captain Planet’s playbook and show Adam what happens when he messes with the power of friendship. Thanks for listening!

S04E20 – Laser Guns or Whatever – The Yoko Factor

Considering that Buffy went to LA last episode to emotionally complicate Angel’s life, it’s only fair he does the same for us. How does the calm, cool, and suave Angel get along with the regular, plain, and average Taad (Riley)? Meanwhile, while Buffy is getting her boys in line, the very foundation of the Scooby Gang is being shaken by misinformation. Thanks for listening!
