The Rewatcher

Freshly back from the physical and emotional trauma of last week, Cordelia looks like a vision, and SAYS she's totally over Alexander Harris, but when she's hazed by Harmony and her pack of piss-ants, she quickly starts to doubt herself. Unfortunately, the Hellmouth knows no fury like a woman scorned, so when Cordi flippantly makes a wish to her new demon friend, Anya, Sunnydale shifts to a reality where Buffy never came to Sunnydale, and shit is BLEAK! Some of the Scoobs are vampires, most of the senior class has fallen victim to the Hellmouth, and the Master is cooking up new schemes to establish dominance of his pointy toothed brethren.

Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we talk about Giles' jewelry appraisal, the Newbie Gang, and we get another taste of the Master's PERFECT comic timing! And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram at @the_rewatcher for special content!

When a demon named Lagos RSVP’s to come pick up his FAVORITE apocalyptic accessory in Sunnydale, the fate of humanity lies in Buffy & Faith’s hands. Unfortunately for them, their slaying groove comes to a grinding halt when an uppity killjoy comes to town announcing she’s been chosen by the Watchers Council as Faith’s new Watcher. She’s passive aggressive and intent on bashing Giles’ methods for…well, just about everything!! Meanwhile, Buffy gets an intervention after Xander spies on her during her make-out sesh with Angel. Xander is furious, Cordi is scared that SHE’s in danger and Willow is sad that NO ONE is using ‘I-statements!! Even Giles is in his feels about Buffy sneaking around with Angel. He’s not mad, he’s just disappointed…which honestly feels like a stake to the chest.

This week we are joined by the iconic Kristine Sutherland, aka Joyce Summers, to talk all about her experience on Buffy, some fun behind the scene stories, and of course, give us the deets on what it was like to makeout with Giles! (Alaina’s dream!!!)

When the adults of Sunnydale fall prey to a cursed candy fundraiser, they shelve their responsibility and revert to their teenage selves. They completely take over The Bronze (and make it look like AARP night) and are acting completely insane! Willow's doctor is half naked and attempting to crowd surf, Ms. Barton is drunk AF, and Snyder is actually NOT being an asshole for the first time in his life?!?! Weird! Even stranger (but also hotter??) Joyce and Giles are getting it on with some pretty aggressive make out sessions. Per usual, Buffy and the Scoobs are on the case, because seriously, WTF is going on? Does Ms. Barton ever find her nachos? And MOST importantly... is #JOYCILS a thing now??

Grab a box of (uncursed) candy, and join Ash, Alaina and Kristine as they relive one of the most iconic Joyce episodes yet.

This week in Sunnydale, the competition is heating up faster than a vampire in sunlight! Cordis' complete lack of filter inspires a freshly dumped Buffy to awaken her inner homecoming queen and “stake” her claim at the crown. The dynamics of the Scooby gang get further splintered when Willow and Xander share a kiss that has all of us freaking out. They overcorrect by going #teamCordi and supporting her cut-throat campaign for the crown, leaving Buffy bewildered and kinda pissed!

But that’s not the only competition in Sunnydale this week! Mr. Trick has assembled a ragtag group of assassins to take part in Slayerfest ’98 to collect the bounty on Buffy and Faith’s heads! We’ve got Texture and Josie, supermodels, survivalists and Kulack who has the best damn mohawk we’ve ever seen! Of course, being that it’s Sunnydale where all chaos ensues, Cordelia gets tangled into the mess of Slayerfest, so she and Buffy are forced to work together to try to get to homecoming in time to collect their crown. Can Buffy and Cordi put their fight on pause to escape from Mr. Trick’s Slayerfest? Are Willow and Xander going to talk about THAT kiss? How does Ash feel now that we are FINALLY meeting THE MAYOR?! Tune in to find out!

When a student is found mauled during Oz’s time of the month, the gang worries that Xander’s inability to babysit might have enabled Oz to become a murderer. Well…NOT OZ-Oz! Just WOLF-Oz! The Scoobs split up to figure out what’s going on in hopes of preventing another death.Meanwhile, Buffy is attacked by a VERY feral half-clothed Angel during a sweep of the forest. Sure, he’s Hot AF but is he “moonlighting” as a murdering beast now (Get it? Moons? Werewolves?) Or maybe he’s just pissed about the whole “Buffy banishing him to the demon dimension for 100 years thing” (whoops sorry about that bud!). Is Oz innocent? Is Angel? Or is there a new kind of monster on the loose? You’ll have to listen to find out!

After a shaky start to the season, things FINALLY seem to be falling into place. The Scoobs are hanging at the Bronze, Joyce and Buffy are bonding over bullying Principal Snyder, and Buffy might even have a new love interest?! (Willow will MAKE THAT SHIT HAPPEN even if it kills her!) But wait! We know good things in this town don’t last long, and Sunnydale has some new residents that are sure to cause some chaos. While we might think Kakistos and Mr. Trick are Big Bad material, we’re pretty sure Buffy would give that title to Faith, the newest vampire slayer in town (yes there’s ANOTHER one, RIP Kendra). Is there room in Sunnydale for two slayers?! History tells us no (RIP Kendra x2), but go rewatch and tell us what you think!

Buffy is back from New Angeles (IYKYK) ready to get her life back on track, but everyone is acting weird, and not in the usual Sunnydale kind of way. Joyce is trying way too hard with Buffy, while Giles, Willow, and Xander are treating her like she has the plague, (no doubt from Joyce’s shitty comments from last week’s episode. #BadChoiceJoyce). Joyce tries to get Buffy back to school, but of course Principal Snyder is putting up a fight and getting all tingly in the process (EW! Get a room you gross little man!). The Scoobs attempt to bury their resentment of Buffy’s time in #NewAngeles by throwing a “Welcome Back Bash” chock full of both ‘Hoot’ and a dash of ‘Nanny’.

In what may be one of the most disastrous house parties ever, Buffy feels not so welcome at her ‘Welcome Home Hootenanny!” The Scoobs are forced to confront more than just the buried elephant in the room when Joyce’s unfortunate home decor starts literally raising the dead and drawing hordes of zombies. Whose mask brings all the zombies to the yard? Thieving Joyce!!! That’s who!!

Rewatch, Listen and laugh with us as we get an episode full of misery-concealing quippy one liners, the origin moment for #goodChoiceJoyce, and a #RipperFIREemoji moment that left Alaina on the floor… Literally!

It’s senior year but Sunnydale is missing their most valuable slayer! While Buffy is MIA trying to start a new life, the Scoobs are left defending Sunnydale from vampires, and let’s just say, it’s not going….well. Everyone is tense AF because Joyce is blaming Giles for Buffy’s disappearance, Xander and Cordi are mad at each other for no reason, and our favorite couple Ozlow is on the fritz! Meanwhile, Buffy has her own Big Bad to deal with, and of course it just so happens to be the kind that enslaves runaway teens, which honestly, is pretty on brand for Buffy right now! Join us as we laugh about an episode filled with quiet quitters, sassy big bads, and BEAUTIFUL shots of Cameron's Mom.

The season 2 finale is here and OMG we have A LOT of things to process! Kendra is dead, Buffy is on the run from the cops, and Giles is MIA, but at least the rest of the Scoobs seem to be okay and are recovering over at HIPPA Violation Memorial. With Buffy on her own she’s forced to forge an unconventional alliance with Spike of all vampires because they both have the same end goal: Kill Angel. Can Spike and Buffy stop Angel and save the world? Does Willow have some secret powers we didn’t know about? How is Joyce going to handle the news that Buffy is a vampire slayer? And most importantly, why the hell is Giles making out with Dru?! Rewatch, sniffle, sob, gather yourself, and listen as Ash and Alaina trauma bond over the sadness of the season 2 finale!
