The penultimate episode of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story is here! Did Indira's sunlight spell work? Will Anya and Anyanka have to rent a U-Haul to assist them in a merger? Is Spike evil again? Is a jar of sperm an appropriate gift for your office mate? We cover all this and more... 'Tis the season!

The episode in which LaToya Ferguson says we were "really on one." Spike and Dru are hot and heavy, we've named Anya/Anyanka/Jasper "Janyaska," and Indira does a fake sunlight spell that maybe is fake but is it fake?!?! It is Slayers: Episode 7, and we have - as always - a lot to say. PROM 2024 TICKETS https://www.eventbrite.com/e/buffering-a-rewatch-adventure-presents-buffy-prom-2024-tickets-7703...

Indira is busy "resurrecting" Spike while Clem coughs up some lion fur-balls, we busy ourselves opining that perhaps Ms. Bang and Drusilla (miss)banged back in the day, and Anyanka licks Anya's face but actually it is Jasper so nothing to worry about! It is SLAYERS: Episode 6. Let's GO. PROM 2024 TICKETS GO UP FOR PRE-SALE TODAY, THURSDAY DECEMBER 7TH AT 10AM EASTERN >>> Tickets: https://www.event...

Jonathan is a GHOST. Anyanka is in a PUPPY. Giles and Clem are in a ZOO. Listen, we have fully entered into Alternate Universe Sunnydale and in addition to the standard chaos, Indira also wants Spike to pretend he has risen from the dead. The Spike-Jesus we've all been waiting for? It is Episode 5 of SLAYERS: A BUFFYVERSE STORY, babies. LOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNET Jenny Owen Youngs | @jenn...

Giles is back and he is in love with OLIVIA and they are having EARLY MORNING DALLIANCES inside of their QUAINT BOOKSHOP. This is not a drill, people. Giles! And! Olivia! Are! Back! Also, Anyanka is freed from being a statue and is on her way to wreak havoc, Anya and Indira used a Magic Shop passageway to get to England, it only took Spike three episodes to overtly flirt with Slayer Cordy, and Cle...

Well, kids, if you had Drusilla and Tara on your bingo card then you really scored big this week, and Mr. Pickles can plunk out a celebratory tune for you on his little monkey piano. Anya and Anyanka have come face to face and we can’t tell if it will lead to murder or make outs, Spike’s insides are on the outside (anyone need new garters?), and we are all on high alert for the continued safety of...

It's a scythe, it's an axe, it's a great big .... one handed weapon, okay?! Buffy is BACK, the team is back together, the sword has been pulled from the stone, there's an old lady (she looks great for her age) in a tiny temple who has been there for so long, Spike has feelings, Faith has feelings, WE have feelings, and...

LaToya Ferguson, pod-nemesis, joins us in conversation about S7E19: Empty Places! There are hot pockets, sexual tension on the Revello porch that might make your head set aflame, a proper recipe for a bloomin' onion, and a power struggle for the ages that results in Buffy being ousted from her own home...SNAG VIRTUAL TICKETS TO OUR TWO NIGHT FINALE!!

Kristin is talking with with Rabbi Leah Jordan and Pam Grossman — writer, curator, and teacher of magical practice and history — to dig deep into Willow's Jewishness, her witchy-ness, and how those two identities are in conversation with each other (or how we *wish* they would have been!) across seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This episode contains spoilers through the end of Season 7 o...

Faith is back in Sunnydale and we are feeling dirtier than ever, Nathan Fillion's bangs are the most evil part about Caleb, Spike remembers the entire galloping, warm champagne monologue (vampires, they're just like us!), and a lot of other really hard, really bad shit happens because this is Season 7!  We are LIVE from Chicago's Lincoln Hall this week discussing S7E18: Dirty Girls, with special g...

We've got mommy issues, we've got daddy issues, and we've got A LOT OF BULLSHIT! In flashbacks, Spike wants to bring his mom on vacation with Drusilla (lol) and tiny, adorable Robin knocks over a trash can to assist his slayer-mom Nikki. In present day, the power of iTunes 1.0 triggers Spike inside of Robin's cross-laden garage and they FIGHT, while elsewhere Giles behaves like a f*cking asshole....

We've got a heaping scoop of racism and colonialist bullshit this week, including but not limited to a very troubling (and problematic af!) origin story of the Slayer line! We also have a damn fine performance by Lalaine, a deep dive into the difference between puppets and muppets (unclear), and Buffy being REALLY OUT OF LINE.

Robin Wood is taking Buffy on a date to a hidden restaurant in the alleys of Sunnydale (that makes brandied pears?!), Xander is helping Ashanti pick out the right rope to help tie him up over the Seal of Danzalthar, and the gang has really outdone themselves at home by trying to us a WIRE on Andrew to record The First.

You know that feeling when you kiss a girl and it hits you so hard that you turn into the dude you killed last season?! And then you run into the girl who you kept as a rat in a cage for years?!?!?! It is a wild time in Sunnydale this week, folks, and to top everything off Riley Finn flirts with Spike from miles and miles away by lovingly calling him "assface."

You know that feeling when you're a centuries-old vampyric ancestor named Turok-Han and you just want to kill a bunch of potential slayers so that you can keep the world's oldest evil happy, but then you wind up at a half-built library and the Slayer herself turns on the spotlights, dons a top hat, and promptly beheads you in front of all of your adoring fans?!
