Buffy Boys

11/06/19 • 54 min

Satanic panic clutches the pearls of Sunnydale's suggestible parental population! When Joyce finds two ritually murdered children the town turns just a lil fascist against witches, slayers and other queer allegories. Who Watches The Watcher Watchers? The Buffy Boys do in S03E11 "Gingerbread".

Black nail polish and boy witches: Magic as metaphor for gender defiant transgression
Selective memory and mass delusion; resisting dark forces by choosing the burden of awareness
Joyce's pitch perfect Anita Bryant impersonation
The pervasive and illiterate terror of deep European folklore
"Now, let's be clear. The brain damage happened before I hit you"
