Pop Culture Role Call

It’s Homecoming week in Sunnydale which means two things: 1) a lot of teenage popularity contest drama, and 2) a SAW style murder game at an old abandoned cabin. You know, like, just high school stuff. Thanks for listening!

This week we have a another classic whodunnit, and the Sunnydale gang is on the case! Oz, our primary suspect, is in his three night werewolf cycle as two Sunnydale locals suspiciously wind up mauled. But on the Hellmouth…nothing is quite as it seems. Thanks for listening!

New characters are introduced left and right this week as Buffy meets the new slayer in town and starts talking to a new non-Angel love interest. Stasia herself does not want to have any part of it. Everything seems “five by five” until “Tostino’s” shows up and a secret is revealed from a past episode. Thanks for listening!

This week we REALLY start to get into the nitty gritty! The episode is like a case study in how not to deal with emotional stress and interpersonal issues. Join our gang at the zombie infested hootenanny where it all comes to a head! Thanks for listening!

And we are back! Welcome everyone, to season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This first episode splits its time between our super heroine and her gang of sidekicks. Xander and Willow are holding down the Hellmouth, with middling quips and zero kicks. Meanwhile, Buffy is begrudgingly falling back into the same old “save the world” routine. Thanks for listening!

With this, we come to the end of season 2! Everything in Buffy’s life comes to ahead in this episode, and we do our best to unpack it all. Angel pulls his “Big Bad” pants up. Spike graces us with his quippy presence. And we get some light, recreational torture….yeah. It’s a heavy one but we’re here for you. So thanks for being there for us, and thanks for listening!

This week we are coming at you with part one of the season 2 finale! We get introduced to the third “Big Bad” plot…fourth? I’m losing track. Anyway, the gang finds a Technopagan floppy disk spell that might be key to re-cursing our buddy Angel. But should we? Could we? Come on in and find out!

Nothing new at Sunnydale this week, just another string of brutal teen murders. The highschool swim team seems to be the target, as a few of the boys end up as piles of skin. Undeterred, Xander goes undercover and Willow goes to knock some heads together. It’s a veritable whodunit! Thanks for listening!
