Pop Culture Role Call

There is more than one way to heal a broken heart, friends! You could wait it out. You could binge watch The Great British Baking Show. You could unknowingly use dangerous magics to cause pain and chaos, thus attracting the attention of a council of vengeance demons. All valid and reasonable options. This week Willow does one of those things, but I’m not saying which. Thanks for listening!

It’s Thanksgiving Day for our friends in Sunnydale, so grab your silverware and your culturally insensitive opinions on the celebration of Native American genocide! If we still haven’t gotten it right in 2018 what are the chances we got it right in the year 2000? But bless em, they tried(ish). Producer James and Brian both step in to give voices to Giles and Angel respectively and we thank em for it! It’s a packed episode so thank you for listening.

Hello and welcome to season 4 episode 7! Oz may have left us, but luckily we get some new boy action in here to fill the gap. Spike and Taad (Riley) both make a pretty big showing this week, both with their own agenda. Taad wants to court our very own Buffy while Spike is more on the “draining Willow of blood” side of things. But hey, that’s just Sunnydale for ya. Thanks for listening!

This week is a Willow and Oz episode… You know what that means, right? And no, it’s not “a new celebration of a beautiful romance”. A huge thank you to our good friend Nile from the It Gets Weird podcast for reprising his role as Oz this week! It’s always hard to have your heart broken, but it stings less when coming from a friend. I think.

Buffy is still suffering from a serious case of Post-Parker Depression this week and needs to unwind. Luckily, her good buddy Xander just got a job at a local college bar and is primed with words from the heart. All the while, a new “cute musician girl” is lulling the boys of the Bronze into some kind of lusty stare based coma, and Willow isn’t happy about it. Thanks for listening!

A ghoulish greetings to all our listeners out there! Everyone ready for a Halloween episode? The gang is invited to a frat party on this most spooky of holidays, which includes a trip through a haunted house.

Well hey there, friends! Season 4 episode 3 of Buffy is here and full of love, loss, and frat party PSAs. Xander is back with some real screen time and maybe a new girlfriend? We aren’t exactly sure yet. But Spike is also here so who cares about all that other junk. Thanks for listening!

Yet another week of getting used to the college life, and things seem to be going pretty normal (in the “Buffy” sense of normal, that is). Buffy is convinced that her roommate is a total monster, cause who else but a demon would have Celine Dion on loop. Join us as we try to deal with annoying roommates, food labels, and baby-birding in the world of higher education. Thanks for listening!

SEASON 4 IS HERE! Get out your flatbill visors and boom boxes, because we are going to college! It’s a whole new world for Buffy and the gang, but some are taking it better than others. Willow is thriving like a beautiful lilly tended by the loving hand of institutionalized learning. Buffy is doing… fine-ish? Thanks for listening!
