Beyond Buffering: The X-Files, Fallout, Yellowjackets, & more!

A trio of ding-dong boys accidentally turn Buffy invisible but then because they cannot stop yapping they wind up defeated anyway! TYPICAL. We also have Pylon Pudding, dial up internet at the E-Pump, Invisible Ear Lobe Nibbling, Doris the Social Worker and Magic Weed. It is Season 6 Episode 11: Gone!

'Allo, Scoobies! This is a special episode of Angel, innit? (Okay, that was for all the Tammy fans.) That's right, we have finally approached "Birthday" in our viewing schedule. Wait, whose birthday? Cordelia Chase's, of course! So, baby — stay awhile. Especially since this episode is one of your Angel on Top hosts' favorite episodes of Angel. Join said hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis, and so much more) as they discuss "Birthday," an alt-world episode that is also technically a mallpisode.

In this episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, everyone gathers at the local pool to go swimming and talk about their feelings while sipping on ice cold Coca-Cola!

Just kidding!

This is the one where we meet Rack and strive to untangle the realities of destructive responses to trauma from problematic tropes attached to substance misuse, the one where Buffy re-dons her post-coital pleather skirt to storm off the set of 1080p HGTV, and the one where Dawn lands an amazing kick to the demon we've named "Razzmatazz" and slaps Willow across the face. Season 6 sure is fun, so join us as we discuss S6E10: Wrecked.

Fatherhood is quite the adventure, isn't it, Scoobies? It definitely is when you're new father Angel — and that's even before the car chase to the abandoned mine in the desert. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss the appropriately-titled episode "Dad," a story about that old saying that it takes a village to raise a child (and keep it from being dissected or turned into baby soup). Or it at least takes a few rogue demon hunters and a vampire with a soul. LaToya and Morgan also do some pretty terrible Holtz impressions in this podcast episode, if that's what you're into.

Rat Amy is Human Amy once more! There are sheep at The Bronze! Spike and Buffy have inspired a new segment called 1080pHGTV, creating open floor plans a-plenty! Ankle-length pleather skirts be damned, as we have arrived at S6E9: Smashed.

The incredible Cory Branan is back with us in today's song as the voice of Spike, and it is very, very good. Listen to more of Cory and learn more about his work at corybranan.com!!!

Oh, Scoobies. It is time for one heck of an emotional rollercoaster, both for unexpectedly expecting vampire parents Angel and Darla and your newly-minted podcast parents LaToya and Morgan. But you know what? To quote the Shawn Mullins song "Lullaby": "Everything's gonna be alright." As long as you don't question Sahjhan's motives at all, that is. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss "Lullaby," a story about revenge (and how irrational it can be), redemption (and how it can't change things... even if it tries), and really, just how great of an actress Julie Benz is (duh).

Joan the Vampire Slayer and Randy Giles are battling vampires while Rupey and Anya make out in a sea of disappeared bunnies at The Magic Box, Alex is in the sewers with study buddies Willow and Tara, and Umad is still a pain in our ass! Come for the absolute delight of it all and stay to have your beating heart handed to you as you scream-sing to Michelle Branch at The Bronze... it’s S6E8: Tabula Rasa.

We also have a wonderful segment with Natalie Muskin-Press in this episode, a licensed addictions counselor (and massive Buffy fan) who sits down with Kristin to talk about Willow’s use of magic and all that we are seeing unfold between her and Tara, and her and the Scooby gang. Time stamps for that segment are 54:14 - 1:12:20.

It may be February, but allow us to transport you back to November 2001 for some network sweeps shenanigans in the form of a vampire pregnancy. Darla is about to give birth to a baby that may or may not "skitter" out of her, Holtz is armed with knowledge of the moon landing (but very little about Angel's current deal), and the creeps employed by Wolfram & Hart have never been creepier. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss "Quickening," a story about the literal horrors of birth *and* various baby-dissecting factions.

Good news: Darla's back! Bad news: Angel doesn't quite take that (or the fact that she's super pregnant) like the enlightened "manpire" he claims to be. To be perfectly honest, Angel's behavior is pretty disappointing... but fortunately, this episode is not! Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they unpack "Offspring," a story about kyrumption, moira, and the Buffyverse's less-than-flattering views on sex.
