Once More With Commentary: A Buffy Podcast

Is “Hush” a perfect episode of TV? Does that even exist? That’s right, It’s the “Hush” episode! Also, we watch an episode of Angel, but first the Gentlemen are here to cut our hearts out and clap politely. Buffy and Riley learn they have a lot in common, and the Scoobies learn to stop talking and take some action already. On Angel, Wesley is the best thing to ever happen, and we could watch the gang eat breakfast all day.

This week, Claire’s back! We talk “Something Blue”, “Hero”, and Spike’s favorite show, Passions! On Buffy, Spike and Buffy succumb to Willow’s wicca will and find themselves betrothed (“Wind Beneath My Wings”, yay or nay?). On Angel, we say goodbye to Doyle, and mostly we’re just relieved.

This week, we try to have a thoughtful, respectful conversation about Pangs and we apologize if we failed. Then, on Angel, our hearts get broken by what might have been.

This week, we talk too much about bananas, so sorry. But! Hostile 17 is back and he got a promotion! Elsewhere in the Initiative complex, it turns out that Riley has a Special Agent job and special feelings for Buffy. Meanwhile in LA, Angel and Cordelia learn more about Doyle’s past and demonic pre-wedding customs.

Can we tell you the most boring, mundane stories of outlives? Yes? Good, we are already doing that. And we’ve got a PSA on the dark side of donations. In Buffy world, Oz leaves, we cry. Are we maybe team Riley? Maybe. As for Angel, we don’t care, forget it. But you can be a rainbow.

This week, Ginny got a new couch! Allie talks about her suitcase workouts in Japan, and we blame Christopher Nolan for pop culture's bleak landscape and tell you again to watch The Good Place. Elsewhere, Buffy discovers the prehistoric perils of binge drinking and Cordelia fights a poltergeist for possession of her new apartment. Rent control at any cost, amirite?

This week, Buffy and her friends must confront their biggest fears through the smallest demon and we just have so many unrelated questions. Meanwhile, on Angel, ​​​​​​​we're just really ready for Doyle to die and for Angel to start saving some men, ok?

This week, Anya’s back! She's got some questions for Xander to DTR, and Spike is back with a new R and a new plan to get outside during the day. His scheme follows Oz to LA where Angel must confront just how much power he wants to wield.

This week, we talk about our favorite human pilates guide, Dagny, in her seminal role as Buffy's demon roommate, Kathy. It's really a shame those girls couldn't work it out. Meanwhile, on Angel, the Angel Investigations team looks into the singles scene at an LA nightclub, and find the need for connection can be deadly.

We're back! This week, Alex goes from email correspondent to special guest as we talk about Buffy's first week at college and Angel's first week fronting his own show, with mixed results for both.
