Pop Culture Role Call

Welcome to the newest episode of Pop Culture Role Call! This episode is completely packed to the gills. And that's not in a "Sunnydale High Swim Team" kinda way. Turns out, you can catch demon telepathy powers like a bad cold. Who knew? I'm sure that the ability to read minds in a tormented high-school will be a net positive! Thanks for listening.

Brian returns as Angel to discuss a roller coaster of an emotional episode. From the logistics of magical artifact haggling to Faith's wardrobe choices one thing is for certain, Xander deserves to get punched in the face.

It's finally a Willow episode, this week on Pop Culture Role Call! We are seeing double in Sunnydale, after Willow and Spin Witch get magical. An attempt to summon an otherworldly necklace instead brings forth a vampiric doppelganger. Thanks for listening!

Oh, Faith... Things aren't great for the gang right now Y'all, I'm sorry to say. Turns out, manslaughter doesn't just resolve itself overnight, especially when nobody is turning you in for it. This episode happens to be light on the fun and heavy on the moral ambiguity of civilian casualties during times of war. You know, classic "fun vampire teen" stuff. Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode we get some rebellious teen slayer action! Faith is back in a big way, here to be the little devil on Buffy's shoulder. A devil that commits regular old "human manslaughter"... There is also something about a vampire cult and a sword? But that's small, non-manslaughtering potatoes in the grad scheme of the episode.

We have ourselves a Xander episode this week, folks! While the rest of the gang is off dealing with the biggest, spookiest, deadliest threat ever to grace our fair city, Xander decides to take a job as the wheelman for a local criminal enterprise. Can the rest of us save reality from the brink of annihilation without Xander's help? Probably, but thanks for listening!

Happy Birthday Buffy Summers! The Watchers even got you a special gift for your 18th, consisting of debilitating drugs and physical assault. Our "good guys" everyone! Give em' a round of applause. Let's see if Buffy can overcome and make it to 19 unscathed. Thanks for listening!

Hello listeners! We are back from our mid-season break, and ready to talk more Buffy. This week's episode is packed with SUPER fun themes like oppression, emotionally abusive patenting, government censorship, and oh so much more. It's a hoot and a half, trust us. Thanks for listening!

This week we take a quick break from season 3 to talk more in-depth with Angel about what he has REALLY been up to these last few seasons. How does he feel about the whole "death and re-birth" motif? How has he held up after a few hundred years of torture in the demon version of hell? How was doing shirtless Tai chi with Buffy next to the spot where she murdered you into a mystical fiery vortex? All this and more coming atcha! Thanks for listening, and thank you again to our Angel surrogate Brian for talking with us!

Big thanks to our sometimes producer, all the time Angel surrogate Brian for sitting down with us this week! Without his much needed insight we would have never known that the gang's best bad boy used to have sweet mutton chops. Sucks he is being haunted by some eyeless occult dudes though, and on Christmas no less. Thanks for listening!
