Buffy S1 E6: "'Get Off My Back, Pack!' Thus Spake Principal Flutie"

This week we are wandering the mean streets of LA while we discuss “Anne”! We’re talking how secrets don’t make friends, Principal Snyder’s summer plans, bad-at-undercover Buffy popping up again, the hell dimension that makes you old, and that one weird guy that actually likes being in hell. We wonder how El Camino would have turned out as directed by M. Night Shyamalan, say no thank you to a goo baptism, cheer on the Comrade Buffy moment, and wonder what Pope Leo and David Boreanaz talk abou...

This week we are pausing and looking back at Season 2 as a whole! We rank the episodes, read listener emails, play an Angel vs. Edward quote game, and resolve the life or death-stakes locker room bet. We discuss the parking lot graveyard, the unreadable Buffy font in the featurettes, the noble art of ranking things, whether we’ve reached the point of no return on Joyce, and Buffy posting on AITA.

This week we are stabbing our “it’s complicated” boyfriends while we discuss “Becoming II”! We’re talking signs that your Xander might be in distress, how Angelus would fare in Project Hail Mary, how we need much more of Joyce making small talk with Spike, who is paying for the torture team T-shirts, and Angel being just like a pet at the vet. We crumble at the sight of Willow’s Resolve Face, wonder where Angelus’ chainsaw went, appreciate Drusilla’s love for polyamory crimes, and think that ...

This week we are trying to prevent stone demons from ending the world while we discuss “Becoming I”! We’re talking how cool it would be to be a local expert on obscure artifacts, Catholic confession pop-up booths being very popular in 19th-century London, that Drusilla has missed her calling as an ASMR Youtuber, Angel carrying around handfuls of rats everywhere, and that this Acathla guy just looks like a stupid ogre from a children’s fairy tale. We name Angel’s memoir ‘A Century of Sadness’,...

This week we are going undercover on the swim team while we discuss “Go Fish”! We’re talking Buffy being the muscle that keeps teacher Willow from being bullied, that every time you feel the urge to be mean just sell a vegetable, the inherent conflict in the Willow (takes DARE very seriously) and Oz (wears a DARE shirt ironically) relationship, whether or not Giles hates Xander, and the hidden depths of Wentworth Miller. We wonder how Giles got away with locking the swim team in the library c...
