One thing about Buffy, she's gonna jump into a portal. No questions asked. This time, she leaves her crew to deal with the beastie that came out of the portal and the feeling that she doesn't fully appreciate them. 

Buffy and Xander pick now to see what the dating scene is like. One is successful, the other not so much.  Let's talk about awkward celebrity encounters, helping yourself to someone else's food, Giles' lack of artistic skills and why for the love of cheese, is Ashanti here.

Welcome to our new patron, Douglas! Thank you so much for your support! 

There is a Freaky Friday type of situation happening in Sunnydale...again. And since NOBODY hugged Giles when he returned to Sunnydale (WTF?) they all think he could be the First.

The potentials get some in-the-field training while Dawn answers a wrong number. We have grown a soft spot for Dawn and time along with the new canon, has ruined a perfectly good moment.

While Spike is still the First's plaything, the gang comes up with a plan to maybe slow down the First. These potentials are doing a whole lot of whining and not a lot of forward thinking.  Quick question: Have we gotten too close and too deep to Buffy to still enjoy it? We have a hard conversation.

Giles shows up with some potential Slayers who may have been trained in combat, but have ZERO home training.

Council is keeping secrets and got blowed up. Andre goes grocery shopping, Spike seems to have gone to therapy, and what is up with Principal Wood?

Spike has a new favorite song that put him in a very specific mood. But before we get to that, there's some chatter about Ted Lasso.

The First, who happens to just be a creepy stalker, is ready to start shaking things up. Buffy gets a much needed pseudo therapy session, but should she feel shame for what she did with Spike?

Things get all Real Housewives of Sunnydale when the ladies fall victim to the oldest trick in the book...the letterman's jacket.

Let's play, Anya, This Your Life! Full of cheating trolls, frat boys, work-life balance discussions, vengeance, so-called friends trying to kill you, and charming D'Hoffryn. I love a good back story.

Buffy is unqualified and counseling teens. Seems legit. But oddly enough, she seems to be the only one concerned when a young girl comes to her and says she's going to die in a few days.

Giles is shipping Willow back to Sunnydale. But she not ready! Thus making a mess of things, magically, accidentally. Red's a bad girl.

Buffy gets a job offer, that she's unqualified for. Anya has a quota to fill and unintentionally got someone's puppy eaten.  Spike is throwing his crazy torment all around town. Everyone is getting the message, "From beneath you, it devours." 

New school, new job, new life threatening experiences. Plus, we get a look inside Anthony Stewart Head's living arrangements.

Season 6 is done. What does it all mean? Jewelry Designer, Peggi Li joins us to make it make sense and to talk about how she got into designing jewelry featured on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and so many other shows.

Willow still has a job to do, but Giles returns to put a squash on it as well as put his own life in danger. And the world is saved by mansplaining.

Dark Willow has a To-Do list that needs taken care of. On the top of that list, Warren.

It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together...welcome to the stage...DARK WILLOW!!!

Yo, between Spike and Xander and Warren, there is a LOT of male toxicity in this episode.

We finally got around to talking about the movie that started it all. Which one of us lurves it? Which one would like to see it die in a fiery crash? Listen to find out!

It's like Rockwell when Buffy finds out somebody's been watching! Feelings come out, secrets are revealed and vengeance is served. Also, does Spike shower?

This is one of the most important episodes of Buffy, so it gives us lots to unpack and chat about. So we'll start off slow, by reading more listener reviews.

Xander gets a glimpse into his fake future with Anya and calls off the wedding...like a bitca. But first, we read some listener reviews!

And then there was that time when Riley brought his raggedy a$$ back to Sunnydale and made Buffy question her entire existence.

You may know her as Kathy, Buffy's bad college roommate experience. But now, it's time you got to know Dagney Kerr, the artist, writer, photographer, and delightful woman.

It's Buffy's birthday! She's having a party! Nothing will go wrong. Everything is gonna be great! Right? RIGHT?!

Are you watching Room 104? Is Orlando's dog really dead? And how dark does The Trio get?

Buffy has a brand spanking new job! And while she's dealing with that slow death, everyone else has some demons to contend with.

Buffy finally gets everything she never knew she wanted and turns invisible.

Buffy is trying to make sense of her night of filthy passion, while Willow lets Amy drag her further into the filth that is Rack.

Willow FINALLY gets around to returning Amy back to her natural form and Buffy FINALLY decides to check out Spike's natural form. (Heh, Heh)

Not learning her lesson, Willow keeps trying to mess with Tara's mind and ends up throwing the whole crew out of wack.

Do we really need to intro this? Cue the music!

Dawn and her band of nitwits go out for Halloween shenanigans. It's the beginning of the end for Willow and Tara...and also Xander and Anya. Turns out Spike does NOT have hot sauce in his bag.

It's Bring Your Slayer to Work Day! Buffy tries to figure out her path to financial freedom while The Trio dedicates the time to find her weakness.

Buffy's got bills ya'll. And apparently, neither of the two adults living in her house are willing to contribute. And Giles tells Willow about herself.

Don't you just hate it when you bring your best friend back from the dead and they bring along a hitchhiker? AND don't thank you?!

You know when you finally finish a super difficult task, and once it’s done you are so relieved and proud of yourself? And you're like, woo, now I can rest! Imagine if your dumb ass friends undid it all because they thought you liked doing it so much the first time and you wanted to do it all over again. Yeah, that's Buffy right now.

It seems Willow is pretty inconsistent with the magic she can/will do. The Buffybot has come in pretty handy...did anyone stop and thank Spike for having it made?

We did it! Season 5 is a wrap! Join us as we discuss all of the ups and Dawns of the season and rank our favorite eps.

It's Buffy's 100th ep and OUR 100th ep! Let's talk about Buffy being ready to turn in her resignation, Spike dropping the ball, the gentrification of UPN, and Ripper making a special appearance. Mucho love to everyone who has been with us on this journey.

We take a tour through Buffy's brain, Ben is Glory is Ben...ya'll, it's getting crazy.

Buffy has decided to hightail it out of Sunnydale and we give thanks to Charlie Weber for his Instagram.

Willow gets her panties in a bunch with insecurities and causes poor Tara to get her brain sucked. That sounds much dirtier than intended.

Spike has a new toy! Buffy goes on a last-minute vision quest! Warren needs to be on a list!

Everyone is dealing with the aftermath of Joyce's death. Some in a healthy, sexy way (Giles), others in a get everyone killed and desecrate the memory of a wonderful woman way (DAWN).

In this episode, listener Liz joins us!

We get in touch with our emotions as we, begrudgingly, recap The Body.
