Tag: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hello listeners! It’s coming up on the end of Buffy season 3 and the show seems to know it. Things are starting to heat up around Sunnydale, and the gang even gets some face time with our new Big Bad. Unfortunately, that Big Bad is our invincible and ancient mayor. Which might be a metaphor or something? I’m not sure. He is a fun villain though, that’s for certain!

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!
