Tiny Fences: A Buffy Podcast

Latest Episodes:

216: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered Oct 13, 2015

Show notes

It's Valentine's Day in Sunnydale! Which, of course, means magic and mayhem for our Scoobies! You'd think Xander would know better, but apparently when hearts get broken, common sense goes out the window.

Amanda and Andrea have a lot to talk about in this Xander-centric ep, it's all about 'careful what you wish for' for our resident comic relief. We also have lots of music to talk about and a few fun SNL related facts. There's also annoyance with Amy's mythology knowledge, Xander's inability to barricade a door, and worries about Joyce's ability to suppress the insanity going on around her.

Also, there was apparently SO much conversation related to 'Phases' that we have the first ever re-visit to a previous episode! ENJOY!

215: Phases Oct 06, 2015

Show notes

People, we have a lot of thoughts about Phases. Andrea wants to talk about this as one of the few Oz-centric eps in the series, but Amanda can't get over how awful almost every other male is in the ep! And she's right, it's pretty awful.

The ladies also talk about how they're watching the same show, but are getting such different things out of it, Andrea wants the comedy, Amanda wants the emotion. This is probably because Andrea just wants everyone to be happy, and Amanda can't help being an empath.

In the end, the episode has its fair share of problematic elements, and those are off-set by some seriously adorable Willow/Oz moments.

214: Innocence Sep 29, 2015

Show notes

Recorded live at La Fontana Caffe in Burnaby, BC, home of NerdHQ! Amanda and Andrea welcome back John, as they discuss the episode that changes it all for season 2, Innocence.

It seems as though Amanda and Andrea have switched places, with Andrea having a lot more energy than normal, while Amanda wants to really drill down and focus. There's lots of music talk from Amanda, Andrea won't shut up about Joss' commentary on the DVD, and keep count for John and his gypsy talk...

213: Surprise Sep 22, 2015

Show notes

It's a surprise-filled birthday for Buffy and the gang! Jenny's a gypsy! Oz, vampires are real! Spike's in a wheelchair! Drusilla's building a giant demon! SO MANY SURPRISES!

Amanda and Andrea talk a lot about relationships in this episode. There's a lot happening in this first half of the second two-parter of season 2 with the couples, ALL OF THEM! Oz/Willow, Spike/Dru, Cordy/Xander, Giles/Jenny and especially Buffy/Angel. It's a lot of set up, mostly so Joss can kick us in the heart in the next ep.

212: Bad Eggs Sep 15, 2015

Show notes

Ugh, well at least it's over with now, one of the worst eps of Buffy, Bad Eggs, is done and dusted. As per usual with bad eps, this podcast's a little longer than usual.

Amanda starts out trying to defend the episode, but it doesn't take long for Andrea to bring her over to her way of thinking - that this episode is terrible, and (very unusual for Buffy stand-alones) has no point or moral. Or if there is, it's very poorly executed.

We also feature a fan-edit of our theme song by fan and friend Peter, and talk generally about how much we love our fans, and how knowledgeable they are about so many things!

211: Ted Sep 08, 2015

Show notes

It's Ted time on Tiny Fences. We start off the episode a little dark, but transition to lighter fare with a musical number!

The ladies talk about parenting, domestic violence, loneliness, and Buffy's questionable journaling style. They also get into a little chat about the rules for superpowered people, and Andrea wants everyone to read Marvel's Civil War event. Amanda also waxes poetic about Christophe Beck and his fantastic score.

210: What's My Line Part 2 Sep 01, 2015

Show notes

Time to wrap up Career Week with a BANG!

The girls discuss, yet again, what makes Buffy unique as a Slayer, especially her ability to outsource things to the Scoobies.

Amanda's enamoured with Coriander and Andrea talks about some animal cracker love, and how Alyson Hannigan's TV relationships give her potentially unrealistic #relationshipgoals.

209: What's My Line Part 1 Aug 25, 2015

Show notes

It's the first big two-parter of season 2 and is there ever a lot to discuss! Kendra! The Order of Taraka! Career Week!

Amanda and Andrea take a career test to see what they should've done with their lives (hint: neither of them got podcaster). Amanda also gets to talk about the big shocker of the episode, THERE'S ANOTHER SLAYER! (who has a terrible accent, and questionable fashion choices) And, unsurprisingly, Andrea gets derailed again by talking about her love of Oz.

208: The Dark Age Aug 18, 2015

Show notes

Andrea and Amanda welcome guest Julia as they delve into Giles' past and discuss episode 208, The Dark Age.

Looking into Giles' history with Ethan and Eyghon gives A&A some insight into why Giles is the way he is with Buffy.

The ladies also get in a game of anywhere but here, have a brief Hogwarts tangent and debate which word is better: aerobicize or calisthenics.

207: Lie to Me Aug 10, 2015

Show notes

LIES! That's what episode 207 is all about. Andrea and Amanda welcome their first Skype guest, Tom from Toronto.

Amanda gives her first impressions of Ford, Andrea talks about one her favourite scenes in all of Buffy, and Tom talks about how early 20s Tom loved the melodrama of this episode.
