It's episode 2 of season 2! Our three hosts have drastically different experiences this week. One of us is buddying up to the Neolutionists and making kisses with her girlfriend. One of us is whisked away to a woodland safe house where someone is shot in the back. While the third falls off the wagon and let's her imagination get the better of her. Any guesses who is who? Thanks for listening!

Time to jump into season 2 of Orphan Black! Kira and Ms. S are still missing, but, who has them? Rachel? The Proletheans? Sarah and her new gun are here to find out, come what may. Thanks for listening!

WOAH! Season 1 of Orphan Black is in the past and that means it is time to wrap it up with a wrap-up. A big thank you to Holly from our sister podcast Boozin' Bitchin' Book Club, for sitting down to talk all things Helena. We will see you all again in season 2, friends!

Thanks for checking out Orphan Black season 1 episode 10! We aren't sure how close this is a to a finale, but, it sure feels like big things are happening. We have deceit, murder, matricide, and a number of other emotionally charged little nuggets. Thanks for listening!

Orphan Black season 1 episode 7 is out! Time to figure out the whole "monitor" situation folks...though, we don't actually get any solid answers at the end of the day. All we know is that Olive-YAY has some peeps who he trained to be sneaky and infiltrate the lives of the clone crew. But, he doesn't seem to want us dead, which is surprising. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back! This week the clone crew dip their toes into themed spousal torture, paired with a few conspiracy theories. The idea that all three of us are being constantly monitored by wolves in suburban clothing...well, that doesn't sit well with everyone present. Thanks for listening!

It's episode 5 of Orphan Black this week and the game of cat and mouse got a few new players! Someone is watching the clone crew... intimately. People from our lives start to appear suspicious and untrustworthy, all the while, we fumble our way towards a foggy realization. Thanks for listening! New logo work by @lalalavere on Instagram.

Time for Orphan Black episode 4! Pieces are starting to fall into place as the mysterious killer reveals herself. She also reveals her love for objectively disturbing kids toys and stick figures. Who is playing the cat in this game of cat and mouse? Thanks for listening!

Season 1 episode 3 of Orphan Black! Push is coming to shove and our titular lead, Sarah, needs to make some game time decisions. The whole "skipping town with her daughter" thing isn't working out as planned. Things change pretty fast when your clones start being murdered by another one of your clones. Thanks for listening!

Howdy, and welcome to episode 2 of Orphan Black. This week, all of the hosts get scenes! Turns out, they also all have the same face. Sarah/Beth is still frantically trying to keep her tower of lies standing long enough to get out of dodge. But that tower is getting taller and more unstable by the second. Maybe the only way to get out of the conspiracy is to play along. But what even IS the conspi...

It's finally time! Welcome to season 1 episode 1 of Orphan Black. Collin had the reigns thrust into his hands and ended up being the only host with an episode. So, come meet Sarah, aka: Beth. A manipulative and impulsive woman bent on fixing her past mistakes through a series of schemes. But, her own plots see her unwittingly wrapped into something bigger than she realizes. At least, I think so. I...

Well, it's time, friends! The series wrap-up for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Honestly, it feels a little surreal to be posting this episode after years of digging into the Buffyverse. In our own bittersweet way we are extremely excited to be sharing it with you! If you all want more Buffy and/or would like to support us moving forward, we launched our patreon as of last week. You can find all the de...

Here it is, folks! Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7 episode 22....we are done. It's the ultimate showdown, the final fight, the last hurrah, etc etc. Arcs are wrapping up, people are kissing, and characters are dying. The First thought it could come into OUR city and throw hands? Nah, we have 7 seasons of butt kicking under our belt and we are here to save the world. Thank you, as always, for lis...

Season 7 episode 21?! If my sources are to be believed this is the second to last episode of Buffy. Holy cow! Buff is back with the gang and even has a cool scythe (identification still pending) that I guess we can use to win the war? We will get back to that. This episode is all about flushing out character stories and motivations. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 7 episode 20! Everything is speeding towards an end, we just aren't sure what that end is going to look like yet. What we do know is that Buffy is currently banished from the house and Faith has taken up the title of leader. But, can she lead a divided fighting force to victory? I hope so. Thanks for listening!

It's season 7 episode 19 this week and it's time to deal with the repercussions of unplanned attacks. Potentials die, enemies become emboldened, and core team members are maimed. But, what are we going to do about it? Everyone knows that Buffy's call was wrong but a call needed to be made. With the world on the brink of destruction, how many second chances can we realistically give? Thanks for lis...

Howdy friends and welcome back to Sunnydale! We even brought Faith with us to help manage the impending apocalypse. Which I'm sure we will get around to, right after we wrap up all this in-fighting. Another huge shout out to Julia for representing her chaotic energy. Buffy finally makes a stand here and chooses her moment to test the strength of our militia. Not against The First, but, against a m...

Howdy out there, good listeners! Welcome back to another episode of....Angel? It's season 4 episode 15, and Willow/Faith are here to give you all the dirty deets. Turns out, Angel lost his soul (again) and Faith is in a coma (again). So, Willow needs to do some cool magic to save the day (as always). Hope you enjoy this small peek into the world of Angel. We will see you back in Sunnydale next wee...

Happy Wednesday! It's season 7 episode 17 and we have the wonderful Nick back at the table to talk Spike. This week the gang is plundering the murky depths of Spike's past, trying to find a fix the trigger that The First is using to manipulate him. But, Principal Fine has other plans for William the Bloody. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 7 episode 16! Big ol' special thank you to Holly for guesting this week and giving a voice to the one and only Andrew. Baker, story teller, and chronic helper. Andrew is attempting to document our attempts to thwart The First. But, is he a reliable narrator? How much can we trust our old enemy/new friend? Thanks for listening!

Season 7 episode 15 is out! Slowly but surely the gang of friends, potentials, and teachers is turning into an army. But is that army going to be enough to stop whatever The First has in mind for this world? It doesn't seem that way at the moment and the stress of that realization is infesting every aspect of our lives. We need a win and we need help. Hopefully we get it this episode! Thanks for l...

Welcome to season 7 episode 14 everyone! Giles is back in full swing helping with the whole impending apocalypse thing. But while he is making horrifically violent and information flash cards where are Buffy and Xander? Maybe on a date or two? A really dangerous game in Sunnydale. Thanks for listening!
