Pop Culture Role Call

Love is a powerful drug…and lust is a dangerous one! This week, Xander takes his normal boyish bad manners a bit to far, and ends up on the wrong end of an angry mob. Maybe it's time for him to learn of those life lesson things? We shall see. Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode, we are joined by our good buddy Nile from the It Gets Weird podcast! And oh how appropriate it is, as Sunnydale finds itself terrorized by a cryptid classic: the Werewolf! Does Angel find his humanity? Does Willow finally get those smoochies? Let's find out!

It's a downer week as all the hosts have to deal with their romantic relations completely in flux. Add on top of that a Power Rangers villain, supportive choke slamming and the fact that everyone's Solid Snaking. It turns out to be a pretty crazy birthday for Buffy.

This week we explore part one of the sultry two episode special! The Judge is here to bring about an apocalypse, and on Buffy's birthday no less.. It's almost as good as her other gifts: prophetic dreams of her love interest's untimely death, and aggravated assault from a disembodied arm. Stick around until the very end for our first scene with musical accompaniment, trust us, it was necessary. Th...

In this week's episode, we are jumping back into the drama-prone land of Sunnydale! It's sex-ed season for our High School crew, so let's partner up, grab an egg, and just hope against hope that there isn't a supernatural infestation. We really don't have time for that, not with Angel and Buffy about to take their relationship to the next level. Thanks for listening, we're excited to be back!

The gang this week takes on the Tarantino classic Reservoir Dogs. Accusing each other of being a rat to not quite remembering what Quentin Tarantino looks like. Sit back, relax, and get yourself into a Mexican standoff for this Movie Break.

In this week's episode, Buffy's mom is showing up in a big way! She has a new love interest, Ted, who is trying his best to fit into this tight-knit group of friends/family. He comes with gifts of pizza, cookies, and picnics! I'm also relatively sure he isn't a cyborg or anything... Come on in!

This week on Pop Culture Role Call, we explore part two of this midseason special! We get to know Kendra a bit better, and the gang has some strong feelings about her "anti Angel" sentiments. Speaking of Angel, he is in a pretty rough spot in this arc. The big news though?! Willow and her new love interest (Collin is calling it) Oz make some big steps forward! Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode, a big ol' job fair graces Sunnydale High! Willow loves her future, pro-shrub, prospects, but Buffy is a little less excited by the whole thing. Maybe it's because she is just a teenager, and maybe it has to do with the unstoppable legion of supernatural assassins after her life…who knows? But it's definitely one of those two. Thanks for listening!

Giles is back in all his tweed glory. From Nine Inch Nails to getting down and dirty with his Calendar girl. Giles has some demons to face and the rest of the team are just along for the ride.

In this week's episode, the gang is dealing with some trust issues.  I mean, when you can't trust Willow, who can you trust?  Join us as we take on techno vamp clubs, long lost frenemies, and Angel bedtime visits.

Yes, it's Halloween time in Sunnydale. Everything should be fine, right? Buffy and the gang unfortunately takes their trek into cosplay a bit too literal. Join us as we tackle kid demons, sexy ghosts, Victorian damsels, and Xander going commando.

In this week's episode, Buffy decides to join Cordelia for a night of fraternity fun after being let down by Angel. I'm ABSOLUTELY sure it will be a nice and chill hang out sesh, with no snake monsters or cult sacrifices. The rest of the gang is busy as well, what with Xander getting hazed, and Willow emotionally spanking Giles and Angel. Thanks for listening!

This week, the gang sat down with Jay from the band Phantasm! Check them out at - facebook.com/phantasmband Jay was kind enough to give us some much needed insight into Incan fashion, and social norms. Turns out, mummies are cool and spooky, but their thirst for boy-blood can be a bit of a bummer during high school dances. Let's see what kind of a "gentleman" Xander will be to our beautiful new mo...

This week was really tough for the gang, Xander starts off with a jinx and it's all downhill from there. Join the usual suspect as they deal with blackmail, a new blonde baddie, and the worst thing a teenager can imagine – a parent teacher conference (with a dash of vamp).

In this week's episode, the gang deals with some wannabe mad doctors still in high school. Join us as we discuss bizarre universes where Xander is something to be jealous of, Giles attempts to ask out a piece of furniture, and poor parenting 101. You'll be delighted to pieces, we promise.

We're back! The Pop Culture Role Call gang is back and ready to dive headfirst into season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And boy, what a start. Buffy is working through some things, and no one is safe. We also find out that ice cream may be the key to a budding romance. Join us as Buffy exposes her (emotionally) killer moves, we witness a sharp rise of snarky tête-à-têtes, and we overcome the (va...

For this week's special episode, we take on a lovely Finnish film by the name of "Rare Exports". And oh, what an export it is. We are joined our special guest Ruben as we dive into the world of elf wrangling, papa issues, and proper VAT calculation. Join the gang as we get in the proper holiday spirit with a film that thoroughly traumatizes at least one of us.

Welcome to episode 13 – the bonus episode! Listen as we discuss our favorite moments from the season, predictions for season two, and as Collin would say, how we make the airplanes here.

It's finally here! Get your second bottle of whiskey ready, and join the gang for the Season 1 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles have a rough ride at the Hellmouth. Join us as we bring the season to a close while making sure to watch out for left hooks, small children, and library tables.

In this week's episode, the gang struggles with visibility, in the most literal of meanings. We try our best to keep an eye out when dealing with high school dances, floating surgeries, and the complex persona that is Cordelia. Join us as we head toward a conclusion that no one could see coming. Starring special guest David Michaels.

In this week's episode, the gang comes face to face with their worse nightmares (i.e clowns, floor candy bars, and illiteracy). No one is safe, whether it is dealing with barely clothed class discussions, or sub-par opera escapades. Listen along as we navigate this dreamworld of an episode, and pay no attention to the kimonos.

In this week's episode, the gang confronts the dark underbelly of high school, A.K.A. the talent show. We had the pleasure of being joined by two special guests from another fantastic podcast, It Gets Weird. Join the usual suspects, along with visitors Kyle and Nile, as we face a dummy of dilemma.

In this weeks episode, the gang confronts the inherent dangers of online dating, especially when you are currently living on a Hellmouth. Come along and join us as we tackle techno-pagans, adults being flirty and gross, and demonic puppy love.

In this weeks episode, we find out that Angel is a vampire. A hunky vampire with a tortured past, but a vampire none the less. Sorry, Buffy "The Vampire Slayer" Summers. Luckily there are some sweet samurai vamps, and a gunfight in The Bronze to lighten the mood.
