We interrupt your regularly (though not that regularly) scheduled programming to bring you this bonus episode. The Buffy Straya gang have gotten together to record for the first time in 2021. We catch you up a bit on where we've been, what we've been doing, and how excited we are to get back to podcasting. More importantly, we finally respond to all the lovely messages from our beautiful fans! Chris responds to our first ever voice message from a fan and goes into some quite detailed predictions about who he thinks will or won't die in Buffy.

Season 3, Episode 6 Band Candy. The gang is surprised to find that apparently the more they like an episode, the less they have to say about it! There aren't many rants about this well-loved episode, and Chris declares this is his new favourite ep so far. Aside from the unnecessary contractual David Boreanaz appearances written into the episode, and the unfortunate romantic storyline we can't bring ourselves to talk about anymore, we all agree this episode brings us extreme joy and classic unadulterated Buffy vibes.

Season 3, Episode 5 Homecoming. The gang start out with an enthusiastic consensus that this is a brilliant episode all round, yet somehow still end up in extremely lengthy discussions about all the things that are terrible and/or make no sense. Just another classic day in the office for the Buffy Straya gang. Mabel makes an unlikely comparison to Dude Where's My Car that no one relates to, but is quickly vindicated by an on-the-spot Google image search. Chris is relieved that Megan has finally come around to some Faith appreciation.

Season 3, Episode 4 Beauty and the Beasts. The Buffy Straya gang is in full agreement that this is a great episode and that Oz is a Scooby Gang treasure. Chris is grateful that Megan has recently been binge watching Scrubs which informed her favourite minor character, no one has much love for Scott Hope (or rather "Scott Hopeless" as Mabel calls him), and Megan expectedly drools over shirtless Angel a few times. Prepare for a fully justified Megan rant at how the episode addressed some sensitive topics.

Season 3, Episode 3 Faith, Hope and Trick sees the Buffy Straya gang express very different feelings on the arrival of Faith. But One thing we all agree on - Mr Trick rocks! In a complete about-turn from last episode, this week everyone struggled to find even one quote as their favourite but they still found plenty to talk about.

Season 3, Episode 2 Dead Man's Party. Chris finally gets his previously on to catch him up to speed on where our favourite characters are at and Mabel and Megan struggle not to quote every line! We rework some plot points with the help of everybody's favourite Jim Carrey movie, the Mask (thankfully Chris had recently done a rewatch) and Chris and Megan disagree over the value of Stoner Guy #1. Full disclosure - Megan is a dolt and didn't have the right mic set up so her audio is not as good as the others! sorry everybody!

Season 3, Episode 1. Anne! Chris, Mabel and Megan are back with Season 3! With such a long time between drinks, Chris needs a few catch up moments to remind him where we left off in Season 2, Megan has switched to watching in HD on a streaming service which has definitely changed the experience and Mabel unintentionally takes on Megan's usual role of quoting all the good lines! The team revel in the many iconic Buffy moments on display in this episode. It's good to be back!

Season 2, Episode 22 Becoming, Part 2. Part two of the season finale starts off in tears after having just finished watching the last episode of season 2 together. Chris, Mabel, and Megan can't help but question the integrity of Sunnydale police force. As usual, there's no shortage of criticism for Xander even in the season finale. Megan tries to fight off her tears as she recalls the episode, but ultimately fails and has one of her signature heartfelt "Megan Moments".

Season 2, Episode 21 Becoming, Part 1. For the first of a two part season finale, Chris, Mabel, and Megan discuss the penultimate episode they just watched together before sitting down to watch part two. Chris sides with one of Xander's controversial opinions and predictably gets verbally attacked by Megan and Mabel for it. All three really struggle to redeem the many accents attempted in the show.

Season 2, Episode 20 Go Fish. Chris, Mabel, and Megan try to make sense of the fishy plot and realise that some things just can't be explained... they do however crack the case for what was the coach's motives! Megan once again gives in to the pressure and goes for a double "Name That Minor Character" for the second episode in a row! Chris continues to compare everyone and everything to the brilliant character actor John Ritter, and to his disappointment, nothing quite seems to measure up.
