The wonderful, brilliant Lani Diane Rich is with us today in defense of Buffy's "Reptile Boy"!! We go deep into what makes a good episode of Buffy (can you hear us, new Buffy writers room?!), consider various snakes-as-penis-demons throughout the show, and discuss what may be at the core of the series — a little sentiment called "to the pain"!!!
