Screen Rant called a classic Buffy catchphrase "Cringeworthy", and we certainly don't agree.

In this introductory episode of the 'Hell of a Mouth' podcast, your host Josh Liston shares why he created this new show, how it's different from your standard Buffy Rewatch style podcast, and how important Buffy The Vampire Slayer has been to him throughout his life.

We also get some Buffy Reboot News from Sarah Michelle Gellar herself, some light-roasting of Rolling Stone's Top 10 Best Episodes Ever list (2017), and some medium-dark roasting of their 10 Worst Episodes Ever list (2023).

Quote. I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit “Buffy” and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right. This has been a long process, and it’s not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there.

I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love “Buffy” as much as I do. And as much as you do. Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you. End Quote.

Audience Question: What episodes of Buffy does Josh feel are the worst?

Josh's List of Worst Buffy Episodes:

• Beer Bad - S4E5. 
• Where The Wild Things Are - S4E18.
• Inca Mummy Girl - S2E4. 
• Teacher’s Pet - S1E4. 
• Retile Boy - S2E5.
• Him - S7E6. 
• Bad Eggs - S2E12. 
• Never Kill A Boy On A First Date - S1E5.
• I Robot, You Jane - S1E8.
• Goodbye Iowa - S4E14. 

Josh's sleeper pick for worst BTVS episode is Into the Woods - S5E10. This was Riley’s goodbye episode from the show, and it was sadly, completely unaffecting. For a break up / goodbye episode that directly impacts our main character (Buffy), we really should’ve felt more for Riley and a lot more for Buffy. I think I’m not alone here in saying that, it was like: “OK, thank the gods that’s over....next”.
