In this episode we discuss whether it was reasonable for Angel and his fellow investigators to defeat Jasmine, or whether it would have been better to allow them to stay in their euphoric slave mentality.

Episode 7: Was It Reasonable To Defeat Jasmine?

A podcast about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel where we discuss the show thematically.

TV & Film

In this episode we put on our little Freudian jackets and analyse Willow's dream in the episode Restless. Restless provides an insight into the 4 main scoobies, particularly into their concerns and fears (somewhat like Fear Itself, but more mysterious and more subtle).  Here, we talk about Willow's subconcious issues with her sexuality and confidence. We also talk about peripheral matters, including Riley's role in the episode, how this ties in to the later series, and who is missing from the episode. Also, we provide an in depth complex discussion on the TRUE meaning of the "unusual man" with the cheese slices.

Episode 24: Restless - Willow's dream

In the second half of our two-parter, we discuss the most heartbreaking moments in the later seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.  We plunder the depths of our emotions to take a look at some moments that will make you sob in despair as Joss Whedon expertly manipulates our heartstrings like an evil puppeteer. If your favourite episode wasn't included, don't be alarmed!

Episode 23: Top 10 Heartbreaking Moments of Buffy and Angel part 2 of 2

This week we pull out our handkerchiefs and settle down to talk about the most heartbreaking moments of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel - EXCLUDING moments involving deaths. We could speak about The Body all day, but won't. In this half (there's a lot of heartbreak in the Whedonverse) we talk about the Camus and the absurdity of existence, leaving a loved one, and many many more miserable subjects. Get your tissues and Sarah Michelle Gellar crying-faces ready for an episode that will take you back through your most cherished sad moments.   Twitter: @podcastboxFind us on Facebook - The Magic Box Podcast Send us podcast ideas - themagicboxpodcast@gmail.com Podcast here: http://themagicboxpodcast.libsyn.com iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-magic-box-podcast/id1059257188?mt=2  Tumblr: http://themagicboxpodcasts.tumblr.com

Episode 22: Top 10 Heartbreaking Moments of Buffy and Angel part 1 of 2

  This day 20 years ago Buffy the Vampire Slayer was first broadcast with its first episode, "Welcome to the Hellmouth". Since then it has provided rich and varied content and is generally considered one of the greatest television programmes of all time. What better way of celebrating it is there than dedicating our... 21st episode to it? That's like, 1.05 episodes for every year that Buffy has been in existence! We take a look at what has changed since 1997, what is still the same, and how Buffy was ahead of its time.  Also, get ready to hear some of the most exciting Buffy-related stats regarding the word "Twenty". Now THERE'S something to look forward to.

Episode 21: 20 Years of Buffy #BuffySlays20

This week we analyse whether the relationship between Xander and Anya was healthy, and talk more generally about the facets of their identity that sparked their romance in The Prom, and which led to their eventual separation in Hell's Bells.  To finish, we use the impartial and unquestionable criteria of a Cosmopolitan magazine article to decide once and for all whether their relationship was healthy, because it is an important source on the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, naturally.  Twitter: @podcastboxFind us on Facebook - The Magic Box Podcast Send us podcast ideas - themagicboxpodcast@gmail.com Podcast here: http://themagicboxpodcast.libsyn.com iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-magic-box-podcast/id1059257188?mt=2 Tumblr: http://themagicboxpodcasts.tumblr.com
