5.10 Into the Woods | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

Helicopter blades are whirring over the sound of our tears as Buffy comes face to face with her fear of needing some monster in her men, all while our cardboard prince heads deep into the unknown woods. Jenny also examines height differentials and thinks about how that might affect the use of the Buffy box. You're welcome. It's S5E10: Into the Woods.

5.09 Listening to Fear | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

A queller demon on the ceiling! A queller demon in a tree! A queller demon under your car! A queller demon with many teeth!! While we *hate* this extraterrestrial bug more than most things in this life, we’d still rather look at its horrible mouth than think about Joyce going into surgery. Sigh. It’s S5E9: Listening to Fear, and we must face it even though we don’t wanna.

5.08 Shadow | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

There's a snake! There's a snake! There's a great big snake!! With... arms?!?! WHATEVER. Glory, who now has a name and some new shoes, puts a cobra in a vase and kablam makes a giant snake who sniffs and sniffs until he finds THE KEY (it's Dawn, but nobody tell Glory)!! Luckily Big-Slayer-Sister Buffy rides on the back of the snake like Khaleesi on her dragons and kills it before it can reveal the truth to Glorificus. Meanwhile, Joyce is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and we do not want to talk about it because it is sad. It is S5E8: Shadow! LOOK OUT FOR THE SNAKE!

5.07 Fool for Love | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

Live from San Francisco's Brava Theater!! Spike has always been bad, baby... but this week we learn that, at first, he was only bad at poetry. We are taking a deep dive into our favorite peroxide-doused vampire and are joined by the effulgent Kate Leth & Joanna Robinson to discuss impeccable cheekbones, bad accents, snapping subway poles in half, and what to do when your finger *oops* gets covered in the blood of a slayer?! WOW. Buckle up and and get ready for a live barrel-jump by Jenny Owen Youngs, because it's S5E7: Fool For Love!

5.06 Family | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

Kate Leth guests and Tara's family makes a surprise visit to Sunnydale with a whole carload of patriarchal bullsh*t in tow (and also Amy Adams). Never fear! The scoobies do what scoobies do best in response: they punch Tara in the nose and promptly welcome her into their chosen family. Oh, and we spend no less than a half hour on a new, one-time segment with Kate called "Cornography." It's S5E5: Family, and you're all welcome.

5.05 No Place Like Home | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

The Beast has arrived in her glorious red dress, tousling about her golden locks and also some very important monks. Spike is out for a walk bitch and Giles is in his most resplendent wizarding attire, Anya gets a job and Ben still looks great in scrubs. Oh, and although we still don't know what's in that Magic Eye poster... we now know that DAWN IS THE FREAKING KEY. It's S5E5: No Place Like Home!

5.04 Out of My Mind | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Riley's heart beats 150 times per minute but he still can't find love and no one cares except for Jenny! JUST KIDDING. Buffy also cares. Joyce faints in the kitchen, Harmony smokes Morley Slims and cannot keep an arrow in a crossbow, and most importantly SPIKE LOVES DAWSON'S CREEK. It's Season 5 Episode 4: Out of My Mind.

5.03 The Replacement | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

Two Xanders, no waiting! Our favorite day-glo demon Toth is in town to kill the Slayer but, whoops!, his neon beam misses Buffy and instead splits Xander into two. While Anya contemplates the many things she can do in this kind of glorious double-boyfriend threesome, the scooby gang work on putting Xander back together again. Oh, and by the way? Spike made a Buffy mannequin! Whatever! It's Season 5 Episode 3: The Replacement!

Interview with Mercedes McNab Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

Mercedes McNab sat down to talk with Kristin about her role as our favorite Cordette-turned-vampire, Harmony! We talk about her audition, that epic fight scene with Xander, and the many takes it took to say Blondie Bear for the first time — and we also put out a call for anyone who knows who got Harmony's fangs from the set of Buffy?!?! So Mercedes, at last, we meet!

Real Me with Gabe Dunn & Mal Blum | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT YOU (and because Gabe Dunn could never be contained to just a few lines), we bring you this extra special bonus chat between us, Gabe, and musical artist/general dreamboat Mal Blum. We talk to Gabe about her experience performing the role of Dawn for the song in S5E2: Real Me, and Gabe in turn explains to us the general concept of Harriet the Spy. Mal is on hand to be charming and delightful. You're welcome!!

**Spoilers are contained within this interview so if you haven't watched past Season 5 Episode 5, hang tight and listen to this after you get there!**
