Sunnydale Nation: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

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…

This week we are having our climactic encounter with the Master while we discuss “Prophecy Girl”! We’re talking whether the Slayer gets overtime pay, that Joyce is really going to have to work harder to move up in the Giles love-interest rankings, adding another letter to the Scooby Gang, the three-headed worm being the Master’s fur baby, and Cyber Giles' role in Season 2. We waste some time by going on the Bones Wiki, get excited at our final air jiggle, wonder if Angel even knows what CPR is, and track the similarities between Joyce and Skyler White. RIP The Master. He wasn’t a real one, but we loved him anyway.

This week we are bullying students into invisibility while we discuss “Out of Mind, Out of Sight”! We’re talking secret agent Buffy, Ghost Clea DuVall’s heavy breathing, “Have a Nice Summer” horror movie reveal, Buffy’s new turn as Columbo, #xanderfamfacts, and Giles giggling and batting his eyelashes at Angel now that he knows he can get him dusty old tomes. We wonder whether the men in black ever come back, propose starting a pro-wrestling team, laugh at the terrible invisible effects, and get surprised that Cordelia… has hidden depths?!
