This week the gang encounters a poltergeist wandering the halls of Sunnydale High, slamming Xander’s head into lockers and knocking over yearbooks. Unfortunately, this ghosty also has a penchant for gun violence and verbal/emotional abuse. This episode is a bit divisive, so let’s talk it out! Thanks for listening!

Buffy can slay vamps and baddies all the live long day, as long as she’s nowhere near her worst fear: the modern day hospital! Buffy and the gang needs to unravel a medical mystery before the fever dreams sink in. Join us as we confront our normal and perfectly rational fears: monsters, doctors, and unchaperoned children.

As the gang searches desperately for an effective unvitation spell (it’s a word), they are forced to deal with the psychological torture of the demon Angelus. It starts off all fun and artistic, with nice charcoal sketches and some light fish murder, but things spiral from there.

Love is a powerful drug…and lust is a dangerous one! This week, Xander takes his normal boyish bad manners a bit to far, and ends up on the wrong end of an angry mob. Maybe it’s time for him to learn of those life lesson things? We shall see. Thanks for listening!

In this week’s episode, we are joined by our good buddy Nile from the It Gets Weird podcast! And oh how appropriate it is, as Sunnydale finds itself terrorized by a cryptid classic: the Werewolf! Does Angel find his humanity? Does Willow finally get those smoochies? Let’s find out!

It’s a downer week as all the hosts have to deal with their romantic relations completely in flux. Add on top of that a Power Rangers villain, supportive choke slamming and the fact that everyone’s Solid Snaking. It turns out to be a pretty crazy birthday for Buffy.

This week we explore part one of the sultry two episode special! The Judge is here to bring about an apocalypse, and on Buffy’s birthday no less.. It’s almost as good as her other gifts: prophetic dreams of her love interest’s untimely death, and aggravated assault from a disembodied arm. Stick around until the very end for our first scene with musical accompaniment, trust us, it was necessary. Thanks for listening!

In this week’s episode, we are jumping back into the drama-prone land of Sunnydale! It’s sex-ed season for our High School crew, so let’s partner up, grab an egg, and just hope against hope that there isn’t a supernatural infestation. We really don’t have time for that, not with Angel and Buffy about to take their relationship to the next level. Thanks for listening, we’re excited to be back!

In this week’s episode, Buffy’s mom is showing up in a big way! She has a new love interest, Ted, who is trying his best to fit into this tight-knit group of friends/family. He comes with gifts of pizza, cookies, and picnics! I’m also relatively sure he isn’t a cyborg or anything… Come on in!
