The Rewatcher

You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

REWATCHERS!!! We will be taking next week off, but will return with S6E16: Hells Bells on 2/26/25!

So we THOUGHT that last week was a new beginning, but within a few minutes Buffy is romping in the grass with Spike and continuing her downward trajectory. #SadTrombone! She can't seem to catch a break! Her job sucks. She got rejected by UC Sunnydale AND a certain cornfed failure is back in town, and she's wearing an ugly cow hat. Watch Buffy TRULY hit rock bottom! (We hope???)

Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Mikie dives deep into Riley & Buffy's past, Ash gives Riley and Sam a spicy nickname, and everyone begrudgingly agrees that there's more to this episode than we caught on our previous watch(es)!

Even after Dawn's call for help last week, the gang proves they STILL don't have their listening ears on. But luckily for Dawn, there is a new Guidance Counselor who is HERE to listen to her concerns, her troubles, her wishes.

In other news, it's Buffy's 21st birthday, and it's a full house! They have conveniently invited Tara. Xanya has invited a dudebro that he works with. Buffy has invited someone with gastrointestinal issues, and Spike is crashing with his card buddy, Clem. But when no one is able to leave, the gang quickly realizes that there might be something magic afoot!

Rewatch & Listen as we talk farty walls, Ash worries about her laugh, and we express our undying love for our guy Clem!

Warren and his incel brethren move onto another nefarious plot by creating a magical orb with the capability to force people into being their plaything. Warren seizes that fish- and uses it on his ex Katrina- forcing her into servitude. Meanwhile Buffy has some complex thoughts about fooking Spike and what that means about her.

Rewatch & Listen as we talk about changing perceptions of the Trio, Ash relates to Dawn, and we all side with SMG on a hot take about a scene from this episode.

Grab your abomination hat and terrible uniform and get ready to clock into a TERRIBLY long shift at the Doublemeat Palace! This week Buffy joins the workforce again, and is faced with MORE than just the monotony of employment when she finds something under the meat grinder- A FUCKING FINGER! She behaves appropriately and has a menty-b (there Buffy.. have a menty-b!) but Buffy is determined to save her coworkers from MORE than ear grease plugs. In other news, Willow AND Anya both get visits from people from their past who attempt to bring back old habits.

Rewatch, listen and laugh as we talk about trash fucking, undesirable color pallets, and we worship at the altar of she who is called Halfrek.

Willow starts her first steps without magic as Buffy spirals after an awful visit from CPS. After having a manic hair moment, she gets zapped by the Tiny Dicked Trio's invisibility ray, and loses her damn mind becoming a bobbed haired bandit. Finally relieved of the pressure of being SEEN and expected to fix everything, Buffy goes off the deep end until she is faced with her own mortality.

Rewatch, listen and laugh as we talk AWFUL wigs, we are shook by Xanders powers of "suspension of disbelief" and we wonder is UPN is poopin' us!

Fresh off separate nights of debauchery, Buffy and Willow realize they made a HUGE oopsie-daisy! They sort of have a minor that depends on them, but NEITHER made it home to care for her! Instead of taking it as a sign to rethink things, Willow continues her downward trajectory, fixating on magical thrills to escape painful realities. Buffy decides to fixate on how Willow's irresponsibility is mirrored by Willow's and makes excuses for their bad behavior.

Rewatch, listen and laugh as Ash promotes relaxation, Alaina speculates if the big bad of the week had any work done and Mikie is amazed by Alyson Hannigan's powerhouse performance!
