Meet At The Bronze

In which we get super angry about men, Buffy and Cordelia go to a frat party, Willow lets both Giles and Angel have it and we have THE WORST beverage this show ever featured.

In which Meg reminds herself she REALLY has to update the blog because there is SO MUCH amazing content about these Incan Mummies that she and Quetina get SUPER far down that rabbit hole while drinking delicious Caipirinhas... oh, and Quetina still has a lot of thoughts about Xander. Also... WHAT PARENT IS STILL LETTING THEIR CHILDREN ATTEND THIS DAMN SCHOOL?

In which we hang out with the Lovely Ladies from Loaded Literature and discuss Gothic literature, Frankenstein, and OF course, lots of Buffy fashion, music and Giles.

In which we meet Spike- and Meg almost explodes from trying NOT to spoil it all for Quetina (because he is THE BEST!) We also get some serious Joyce time, and continue to feel awful that Buffy can't tell her mom who she is (but really? Joyce isn't at all curious about that one?)

In which Meg accidentally deleted the first 7-ish minutes of the episode and had to re-record it all by herself, but it's ok, the Corpse Reviver is super delish. Also, in the show Buffy is dealing with the aftermath of you know, dying and all in the season finale. Xander has some great quotes (Quetina still hates him), Cordelia is really funny and there is ANOTHER DANCE (WTH???)

In which we have hit the finale of Season 1 and the episode kinda makes Quetina shook.

We opened a bottle of Prophecy Wine Red Blend and get into the end of Buffy's Sophomore year at Sunnydale High. Xander gets up the nerve to tell Buffy how he feels and ask her out- which doesn't exactly go his way. So what does he do? Double down on being an idiot and asks Willow to go to the dance, as friends. Yeah, she doesn't take it so well.

Giles manages to translate the Codex and discovers that Buffy is in a prophecy- if she fights the Master, she will die. Unfortunately, as Giles is telling Angel about this, Buffy hears and tries to quit being the Slayer. We get some Miss Calendar, some Angel, we talk about Buffy's super 90's prom dress... it's a full episode for us.

In which we have our first guest! Nichole from Unearthly Paranormal Pod joins us to discuss this episode in which a student feels so ignored that she LITERALLY turns invisible (and murderous). We also attempt to figure out WTF is with "May Queen" and Cordelia trying on her gown with her "maids in waiting" at the school- head scratcher.

Also, Buffy bumping into Cordelia and spilling all of those medieval weapons and trying to pass it off as research for History (not weird Librarian kink) was a strange moment for the show.

Paired, in honor of our May Queen, we enjoyed some Royal Bitch Shiraz, learned a lot about the grape and Chilean shiraz growth- delicious!

In which Giles is forced to run the school's talent show, the Scooby Gang is forced to participate in it, we get an incredible Star Trek: DS9 actor crossover (and Meg geeks out over that for at least 2 hours). Also, we meet a dummy who sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis, is he evil? Is he good? MOST importantly, is he actually funny?

In which Meg has her best pairing EVER! Named after the jazz musician, but sharing the same name as the Monk in the opening sequence, we drank Brother Thelonious from North Coast Brewing. This was a delightfully malty brew with the flavors of dried fruit (raisins, prunes, etc).

Beyond the pairing (that Quetina did NOT hate!) we got into Moloch the Conqueror, from the Bible. We also talked about cyber predators (that is some scary ass shit, if we're being totally honest). Then we got into the episode- Willow meets a guy Malcolm online (online for what?) and Buffy is concerned... turns out for a good reason, it's a demon in the internet. Whoopsie!
