  • Buffy is struggling with returning to normalcy after losing Joyce. Giles wants to get back to business with training, but Buffy admits she wants to quit slaying because she worries that it's hardening her. I mean-- she wasn't there for her corn fed failure, Riley. Giles suggests trying getting answers from a guide in a ritual in the desert.

    Meanwhile, at Incel headquarters, Warren delivers the goods to Spike- a jizzbot made in the image of Buffy Summers. Gross. She has extra programing to ensure that she has as much like Buffy as possible. Uncomfortable moments happens when the scoops mistake her for buffy when they bump into her on patrol!

    Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as Ash gets fast and loose with mathematics, we come up drunk merch, and Alaina calls out a line that could be her favorite of the entire series!

  • Rewatchers!! Our trip down Memory Lane last week was a blast, so we decided to continue the fun by letting Ash take the wheel and bring us to New Angeles!

    Things are weird and strained with the peeps at Angel Investigations. The band JUST got back together, but Cordi, Wesley Wyndham Price and Gunn aren't quite ready to bury the hatchet. AND IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE! Angel was reckless, and is the reason why Wes got shot! 

    When people start going missing in the area, the gang spring into action! But Wait!! There's more! Harmony shows up in town, but remains closeted about her new afterlife. Cordi misreads the situation to hilarious results!

    Rewatch, listen, & laugh as Alaina wishes for her sleep paralysis demon to be complimentary AND gorgeous, we talk shit about Amber, and Wesley earns a new found status as a full Boyee!

  • As Buffy makes final preparations for Joyce's services, Dawn is embittered by how much of a fucking Capricorn Buffy is being! I mean- let a girl choose some freaking flowers, Buffy- My GLORY! The friction drives a wedge between them, as each retreat into their own grief.

    After her mother is laid to rest, Dawn attempts to get WIllaralow to do some resurrection magic, but when Tara is a world of HELL-NO! Dawn begs borrows and steals to perform a ritual to bring Joyce back from beyond!

  • Get out the tissues, Rewatchers, because this is going to be a tough one! When Buffy comes home to find Joyce unresponsive, she gets the worst news that she could possibly get. Arguably one of the best episodes of the series, ‘The Body’ takes you through the initial shock and anguish of loss.

  • Still reeling (in a bad way) from the news of Spike 'Lobsession", Buffy can't seem to shake the feeling the fuckshit surrounding her relationships is TOTES her fault!

    When a girlfriend of the Stedford type shows up and starts yeeting people around all willy-nilly, Buffy and the scoobs try to find the robot's mans!

    Rewatch, Listen & Laugh as we introduce a new segment of the show, Alaina decides that she can't crush today, and end on one of the gnarliest cliffhangers in our multiverse!

  • Rewatchers!!! We celebrate Drusilla's arrival back in Sunnyvale in the best possible way – by chatting with director, actor, ballerina, PODCAST CO-HOST, and absolute icon Juliet Landau! We love her from eyeballs to entrails, y'all! With the drama of last week resetting back into the status quo, Buffy FINALLY realizes that Spike LOVES her, and decides that she is firmly Anti-Blondie-Bear! She not-so-delicately breaks the bad news, and sets Spike on a mission to prove just how much Buffy means to him!

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as we figure out Buffy's Tinder search settings, Alaina breaks out her Cricut to spread the good news, and we hear about the incredible way that Juliet tested out the character of Drusilla - and MAN, to be a fly on THAT wall.

  • When Buffy spills the beans about our little Dawn-key, the Scoobs have some serious problems adjusting to the news – or not broadcasting the news in public like they work at HIPPA Violation Memorial Hospital. Dawn sets her focus on continuing the tradition on awful Buffy’s birthday by B-and-Eing into the Magic Box and finding out about her true identity!

  • When the stuffy assholes from the Watchers Council descend upon Sunnydale, they choose violence, instead of working WITH the Scoobs to defeat Glory! They shut down the Magic Box, threaten to have Giles deported, and force Buffy and the Scoobs through hoops of fuckshit for the OPPORTUNITY to even LEARN some not-so-fun-facts about Glory!

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as Giles breaks the AC in the Podlab, Alaina gets possessed by one of Ash’s spirits, and Buffy has one of the most iconique Brutal Buffy Banter moments!

  • Giles is heading to England to chat with those assholes at the Watchers Council and get some piping hot British T on Glory. Meanwhile, Buffy is doing her best to be strong through the “cornfed failure” of it all, and Xander is DONE being the Judge Judy of Anya and Willow’s relentless bickering.

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as Willow gets on EVERYONE’S damn nerves, we’re relieved that we get THIS version of “Mopey Buffy,” and Alaina reveals a wild hidden talent! #vvoooomph!

  • Welp...we have some good news and some bad news. The good news? Joyce's surgery was a HUGE success and she's dabbling in plastic dream hair! The bad news? Riley has reached his final “bitch-made form” and MAN, it's tough to watch!

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as we talk about WHY Riley's fall from grace happened, we get pissed at the man for trying to brainwash us with early aught's misogyny, and a dramatic reenactment ends in “Rewatcher Gigglefest 2024!”

  • Joyce’s tumor is being an asshole and making her have jarring outbursts; some are mean, some are strange – and others, well, they’re spicy AF giving off some NC-17 vibes! HIPAA Violation Memorial Hospital does EXACTLY what we’d expect and sends Joyce home to rest before surgery. Meanwhile a turdy demon arrives to Sunnydale nestled inside a meteor that crashes into the nearby woods. Speaking of plummeting to the ground, our golden corn fed king, Riley, enters his villain era— or at least his bitch-made one! 

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as as we talk about glow worm demons (more like “heeellll NO” worm demons), Mikie gets possessed by one of Ash’s stray spirits, and Ash dreads what is to come!

  • Dreg the Melting Goblin comes to town bearing gifts and FINALLY graces us with the nameless ‘Bring-It-On’ Demon's name. She summons the most adorable monsters we've ever seen, and sends it on a mission to find the key! Meanwhile Joyce gets distressing news at HIPAA Violation Memorial Hospital, and Buffy and Dawn reel from the shock. Riley continues to be bitch-made, making assumptions instead of being legitimately helpful.

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as Ash and Alaina declare their sweaters a sniff free zone, Ash get attacked by the podlab, and Riley suffers a fall from grace.

  • When Buffy gets a little sloppy and gets impaled by her own stake while patrolling, she gets fixated on the final mistakes of her slayer predecessors. Books prove to be no help, but she heads to The Bronze with Spike to hear tales about the two slayers that HE killed.

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as Spike’s iconique LEWK gets mixed reviews, Alaina time travels to read a bitch, and Ash recounts past trauma similar to Buffy being staked in this episode!

  • It's Tara's birthday, and NO ONE is excited - well, except for Willaralow! Buffy confides in her dad (Giles) about Dawn being an energy key and shit and he is flummoxed! Meanwhile, the nameless 'Bring it On' demon is on a RAMPAGE - ready to crush that koont that had the audacity to break her stiletto AND steal her monk. SO fucking rude! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! Tara's family has come to Sunnydale, and they're a bunch of Ass-Mouths™!

  • A new villain is in town and she's sexy, she's cute, she's popular to boot; but a foreign monk isn't too thrilled with her- maybe it's the torture of it all? Meanwhile, Buffy comes across a delicious looking glowing orb, and wonders WTF it is! Is it something dangerous? Is it related to Joyce's ongoing health issues?? Is it a beautiful cake topper!?

    Rewatch, listen & laugh as Alaina makes an ill received attempt at soundscaping, we're forced to use the 'random insult generator' to adequately express our short lived rage, and we appreciate Dawn's SAVAGE reads!

  • When Joyce has a scary medical thing happen, Dawn and Buffy rush to HIPAA Violation Memorial Hospital. Shit SEEMS okay for Joyce – at least according to the teenage intern? Dawn shows that SHE is the REAL teenage medical professional, when she discovers that Riley’s heart is acting like a fool and being all tachycardic and shit.

    Rewatch, listen, & laugh as we talk about Riley's self sabotage, Ash’s realistic dreams, and the best ways to troll a little sister.

  • When Molly the Rave Demon thump-thump-thumps into Sunnydale, he immediately sets his sights on the Slayer. When he accidentally shoots Xander with his magic rod instead of Buffy, everyone’s worst nightmare (and maybe some people’s dream) comes true when Sunnydale finds itself with TWO Xanders roaming around!

    Rewatch, listen, & laugh as we cackle at Anya's perfect lines, Ash shares her own teenage Dawn moment, and we continue to narrow in on our respective types.
