Once More, With Spoilers: 1.01 Welcome to the Hellmouth | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Nov 20, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!

November 6, 2024 seems like a fitting day to say "Welcome to the Hellmouth," so let us get right to it. Darla is using her combination princess-voice and killer fangs to upend expectations, Cordelia is Cordelia-ing out, Giles has ALREADY CIRCLED A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE IN RED MARKER, Buffy takes her first trip to the Bronze after encountering a dark and brooding stranger in a nearby alley, Joyce's hair is so short, and Luke is BIG.

The eX-Files: The X-Files 2.24 Our Town Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free.

Though we are discussing "Our Town" today, it is decidedly NOT the play by Thornton Wilder but rather an episode of The X-Files in which the townsfolk are dining on... other townsfolk! Cannibalism: the other red meat??

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1/5 Outsiders We Have To Deal With

Show notes

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free.

The first television episode in history that Kristin refused to watch a second time!! We've got some bugs, we've got some escaped prisoners, we've got some pustules (which we nearly exclusively refer to as rainbows so that we could survive the conversation), and we've got Chris Carter saying that the "look of this episode is wonderful." Ahhh, yes, 'tis The X-Files S2E22: "F. Emasculata."

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 2.35/5 Chances the Men Who Escaped Are Infected -- and a bonus GROSS Ranking of 5 out of 5 I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE ITs

Show notes

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free.

Oh dear, it seems Samantha Mulder also bleeds Baja (read:green goo) and isn’t Samantha Mulder at all. We will have to wait on that game of Stratego. :(

In better news, Daddy Skinner and Daddy X trade head butts in the elevator — the closest you can *get* to smooching without using your lips!

It’s S2E17: End Game, and we encourage you to bring your parka and your little mittens.

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1.05/5 Orders From My Ophthamologist
