You know that feeling when you're a centuries-old vampyric ancestor named Turok-Han and you just want to kill a bunch of potential slayers so that you can keep the world's oldest evil happy, but then you wind up at a half-built library and the Slayer herself turns on the spotlights, dons a top hat, and promptly beheads you in front of all of your adoring fans?! It's Showtime, baby...

Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure

10/26/23 • 71 min

Giles is back and he is in love with OLIVIA and they are having EARLY MORNING DALLIANCES inside of their QUAINT BOOKSHOP. This is not a drill, people. Giles! And! Olivia! Are! Back! Also, Anyanka is freed from being a statue and is on her way to wreak havoc, Anya and Indira used a Magic Shop passageway to get to England, it only took Spike three episodes to overtly flirt with Slayer Cordy, and Clem... bit off Miranda's head.

The eX-Files: 2.10 Red Museum | An X-Files Podcast

Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure

06/05/24 • 102 min

This week we have a special appearance by special guest LaToya Ferguson who is here to help us discuss one of the most wild(ly bad) episodes of The X-Files to date: S2E10 "Red Museum"! Luckily, this episode was ALSO intended as a crossover with Picket Fences, so we get to talk about Tom Skerritt's mustache! We also get a true gift from the heavens: Scully eating ribs in a white suite and OOPS getting some BBQ sauce on her face... however will she get it off?!?!?!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Red Museum" 1.4/5 Kids As Guinea Pigs

Time Stamps for Picket Fences Spoilers: 37:06 - 43:45

6.22 Grave

Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure

09/15/21 • 118 min

We are heading out of the grave and into the light, dearest scoobies — it is the end, the end of Season Six! WE MADE IT!!!!

Dark Willow did not destroy the world, Giles did not die (but did smolder), Dawn efficiently fought off the lobster tree demons alongside her big sister slayer just like she always wanted, Spike, um, well... also got what he (maybe?) wanted?? Hard to really SAY, but we have a lot of feelings as you'd expect and we are so incredibly grateful to have had your company in a season that took us from copper pipes to musicals to depression on the local route, if you know what we mean!!

Until Next Season, AWOOOOooOOOOOoOooo!

We've got a Buffy Bot, we've got a pissed off hellgod with great hair and a penchant for torture, we've got Detective Minions, and hooooooboy we have got an... actual... kiss... between... Buffy... and... Spike?!?!??!? Also, Alanna coins the term "anti-bangs" for Angel. So, all in all, a win-win. It is time for S5E18: Intervention.
