Sunnydale Nation: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

This week we are being menaced by assassins and finding out we’re not the only Slayer while we discuss “What’s My Line? Part 1”! We’re talking being attacked by bad accents, our theory about why everyone is pissy in this episode, the “I like shrubs” checkbox, Buffy and Drusilla having a legendary Pout-Off, the dreaded Chiseler, and Angel pulling a Mulder and shouting “BUFFAY!” We think it’s cute that Spike and Drusilla paint each other’s nails, laugh at how Angel can’t bust out of a $10 padlock, point out that the dialect coach is probably the monster of the week, and celebrate the one and only Howie episode we’ll get this series. What exactly does it take to get power-freaked?

This week we are learning about our mentor’s seedy past while we discuss “The Dark Age”! We’re talking how messed up it is to target ethical vampires, Giles not enjoying being teased about first-edition books at all, how shocking it is for Giles to have a little tipple after work, Ethan and Buffy awkwardly going to the tattoo removal place together, and the glossy 8x10 photo that Giles keeps of himself. We talk about the importance of Sunnydale coroners checking that the bodies are still there, get sad about Giles and Jenny’s breakup, and want Ethan Rayne to pull Ripper out of Giles more often. Vampire MD coming to your TV this fall.

This week we are discovering that our childhood friends aren’t who we remember in “Lie to Me”! We’re talking Willow’s boy door in her bedroom, Giles’ love life continuing to get the way of slaying more than Buffy’s ever does, a Dracula Walmart greeter, Tim Roth from Lie to Me showing up and delighting us all like Gene Parmesan, and how Angel did one cool thing but nobody saw and nobody will believe him. We scare ourselves by wondering if Spike and Drusilla use therapy-speak with each other, wonder if Angel and Willow could be buds, worry about whether our micros are showing, and get a little turned around in Sunnydale’s endless back alley-warehouse area. I spy a lie!

This week we are becoming our costumes while we discuss “Halloween”! We’re talking Willow being the #1 Buffy/Angel shipper, the danger of redheads being magnetically opposed to each other, Spike hanging out with 8-year-old demons, how you can’t break the Halloween candy covenant and expect not to get attacked by children, how cute it is when Buffy clings to Cordelia, and we say hello to RIPPER?! Excuse me?! We repeat the phrase “become the mask” until it’s not funny anymore, reveal that Spirit Halloween is the true monster of this week, propose a Lie to Me bonus episode, and uncover a truly egregious goof. Lizard demon with mustache true MVP of this episode.

This week we are attending a frat party while we discuss “Reptile Boy”! We’re talking whether sad club music is a thing, Buffy and Xander braiding Willow’s hair, Cordelia’s terrifying man-catching laugh, how great Buffy is at pouting, and whether or not Angel knows how to read. At this point, evidence is inconclusive. We continue the saga of Cordelia somehow having a driver’s license, that the cold open girl simply has bad vibes, how vampire-friendly coffee could be made, and how important brewski time is after your cult rituals are done. We don’t appreciate Bookoo Babes guy’s attitude, but we do appreciate the phrase.
