Sunnydale Nation: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

This week we are dating ancient mummies while we discuss “Inca Mummy Girl”! We’re talking being deafened by panflutes, how hilarious this Cultural Appropriation Party is, the introduction of Oz, troubling #xanderfamfacts, and a lot of Rectify for a while. We are approximately 40% of the total audience of that show, but you’re going to listen to it anyway! Giles does some arts and crafts, mummy arms come off in comical ways, a mashup of PT Barnum and John Waters shows up, we get a deafening “a normal life” echo chamber, and we follow up on the “redheads can’t date redheads” controversy now that further facts have come to life. Ever wondered about Danny Strong’s love life? We didn’t either, but that didn’t stop us from looking it up!

This week we are crawling through the ceiling during a hostage situation while we discuss “School Hard”! We’re talking how there should be other types of Slayers to help Buffy carry the load, get super excited about the return of the king (Howie Gordon), how much we love bad guys in love, and one of us really struggles to process the fact that Spike is English. We wonder how Angel, Spike, and Drusilla’s Anne Rice book club would go, cheer for Joyce having her moment, get very intrigued by certain Principal Snyder plot developments, and thank Spike for ridding us of the Anointed Boy once and for all. Let’s get chanty with the fellas!

This week we are assembling a new girlfriend from scratch while we discuss “Some Assembly Required”! We’re talking The Chair’s relative place in the official Giles Love Interest rankings, that Angel is the kind of guy to wear a hair shirt, Cyber Giles’ slow start, that they really need an Angel Early Alert system, and strange new ways of one-sided podcasting. We get progress on the locker room bet, discover that Xander was born to jump up and hit the top of the door, feel bad for Giles getting made fun of by children, and continue to fail to come up with concrete information about Bruce Seth Green. Who is he…

This week we are back from summer vacation with a serious attitude while we discuss “When She Was Bad”! We’re talking the return of the mysterious ice cream place, whether there are Buffy/Xander stans, that Moloch somehow made the jump to the Season 2 credits, Joyce and Hank being Buffy’s servants, the hype vampire losing us in a single moment, and Snyder thinking he and Giles are buddies. We draft some Angel diary entries, give serious thought to an X-Files soundboard, laugh at Giles trying soda like a real American, and wonder whether crossplay is a thing. And just a helpful reminder: HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE.

This week we are pausing to look back at Season 1 as a whole! We share our thoughts on the unaired pilot, special features, rank some episodes, read listener emails, take a personality quiz, and play a classic game of Joyce Summers Quote or Tax Document? We discover that Dingoes Ate My Baby is not actually a real band, consider changing our name to Snyder Nation, get excited about Grumpy Steve’s appearance, and take a serious bet on how many students will be attacked in the locker room in Season 2. The Giles/Joyce nation is suffering right now…
