Pop Culture Role Call

Welcome to season 2 episode 15! Angel...oh, Angel. What are we going to do with you? Hopefully your elevator ride with a "dead" man helps open your eyes to the way of the world because we want our friend back. Wes could probably use another friend or two, he might have lost a lover. Just, knock before you come into our office and grumpily steal a book next time, huh? Thanks for listening!

It's season 2 episode 14 this week and damn, is it hard to write a funny description for this one. Ready to talk more about over policing? No? How about reductive racial stereotypes meant to minimize critical civil rights violations? No? Well, too bad. We do tell some jokes though. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 13! Friend and fiancé of the show Holly joins us to give voice and name to Karaokieth this week so you know it's going to be a hoot. Angel and Karaokieth are driving around talking about their feelings and talking about the end of time. Both important topics. Meanwhile, Cordi, Wes, and Gunn get their first real gig as the new and improved Angel Investigations...

Welcome to season 2 episode 12! Gunn, Wes, and Cordi take a bold step forward as friends and business associates. Time to rip up those old Angel Investigations business cards, lease a new office, and start saving LA from the powers of evil. No broody vampire necessary. Meanwhile, a broody vampire is slowly chipping away at the credibility of Wolfram & Hart one charity mugging at a time. Is he doin...

It's season 2 episode 11 already! The workers are drinking together in solidarity after the whole team was fired last week. Maybe a song or two will help mend those wounds. Meanwhile, Angel continues chasing his obsession....monologues (and the Dru+Darla duo)! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 2 episode 10, folks! So.....anyone hiring? Any acting/vision needs? Anyone in the market for a rogue demon hunter? No? Dang. Well, maybe once Angel calms down and figures out how to solve the Darla+Drusilla issue our employment will sort itself out. Thanks for listening!

It's season 2 episode 9 this week and some old friends finally find time to catch up! Not in a healthy and fun way, but they do technically catch up. Darla, Angel, and Dru... Only one quippy vamp away from a full roster. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 2 episode 8 of Angel! Who knew a simple garment could cause so much chaos? Angel and Gunn go undercover in an attempt to thwart a museum crime, but the mystical, blood soaked relic sends out some pretty harsh vibes. Can Wesley and Cordelia get to Angel in time? Fingers crossed. Thanks for listening!

It's season 2 episode 7 this week and hold on tight because we are flashing back and forth from past to present! We are taken through the rise and fall of Angel's vampiric "friend group". Turns out, Angel won't eat a baby to protect those relationships. Darla sure brought up a bunch of spicy drama. Thanks for listening!

Once upon a time, in season 2 episode 6 of Angel, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce impersonated his vampire boss and made some questionable moral choices regarding a fair maiden. Please, come one and all, gather round to hear our tale! It is one of humor, violence, and some other stuff! Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 5 of Angel. Darla is back! Little twist though, she's human. Angel can smell his old sire a mile away, which she knows, and she uses that information to toy with her boy (her words). Are her games too complicated for the rest of Angel Investigations? Will we believe Angel is on the trail of his old partner in crime before we wrongfully assume he is slipping in...

Welcome to season 2 episode 4 of Angel! Bethany, a woman on the run, meets up with the gang after squishing a few bastards with a dumpster. She does that with her mind, which is a great way to squish bastards via dumpster. But, can we connect with her enough to help keep her safe? Does she even need our help? Hopefully Angel can crack the case before a non-bastard ends up squished. Thanks for list...

Welcome to season 2 episode 3 of Angel! It's a Cordelia and Gunn episode this time around, and y'all... It's not great. There is a demon, there is a fight scene, there is a funny pink helmet. But there is also some pretty racist stuff. Here's hoping the show does better moving forward. Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 2 of Angel! Time for some of that JUICY backstory. A glimpse into Angel's complicated past. A whodunit spanning social classes, decades, and demonic possessions. After the dust settles, it's clear that Angel wasn't always a brooding hero. But he is a land owner, so, that's something. Thanks for listening!

Why hello and welcome to season 2 of Angel! It's an episode full of contrast. Angel sings Barry Manilow at a demon bar, but, he also murders an innocent. Luckily, he is a soldier and takes up his victim's righteous cause. Hopefully his horse doesn't embarrass him in front of the mysterious tribunal. Thanks for listening!

Thank you lovely listeners for a lovely first season of Angel! This week, the crew sits down to talk about season 1 as a whole. We have predictions, we have listener questions, we have a > 90 minute run time! No episode next week but we will be back with season 2 episode 1 before you know it!

Welcome the season 1 finale of Angel! And wow, did that end with a BANG....sorry. Cordelia is accosted by visions so horrific it lands her in the hospital. Wesley spends all episode flexing his linguistic muscles. Meanwhile, Angel is on the hunt for a slime demon. Thanks for listening and remember to get your questions in for next week's wrap-up episode!

Welcome to season 1 episode 21 of Angel! Wolfram and Hart, the evil amalgamation of fantasy and law, have some shady plans for a group of children. Angel stumbles into the thick of things after witnessing a murder at the hands of one of their prized clients. But, jokes on them, we got an inside man....it's a heist episode! Thanks for listening and please submit your questions for the Angel season...

Hello and welcome to season 1 episode 20 of Angel! This week is a tale of the haves the and have nots. Angel investigations takes a job from a billionaire and then quickly find themselves rubbing elbows with a crew of MadMax, tween vampire hunters. Hopefully some of them become recurring characters. Thanks for listening!

It's season 1 episode 19 this week and Julia is back and giving a voice to Faith! Buffy makes a surprise visit to LA that isn't all that surprising given her and Faith's history. What ever will Angel do? Maybe he can ask Cordi for help since she knows both of them pretty well. Where is Cordi anyway? Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 1 episode 18, the one with Julia coming back as Faith! The ex-slayer, ex-scoobie makes her way to LA in search of work. So rarely does work mix with pleasure. Here's hoping we can find a way to connect with her before she explores all 5 schools of torture. Thanks for listening!

It's season 1 episode 17 of Angel this week...or, season 1 episode 17 of Angelus I suppose. Don't go messing around with ancient evil because it has a tendency to backfire. Do Cordi and Wes need to put their boss out to pasture? Thanks for listening!

Welcome to season 1 episode 16 of Angel! Angel Investigations takes on a new case which quickly turns sour. Rather than beating sense into a corrupt bookie, Angel finds himself fighting for his freedom in a pit. Can Cordi and Wes get over their differences and discover their strengths in time to save the day? Thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome to season 1 episode 15 of Angel! Lots of flashing back and forth for our titular lead this week. How DID he get his name? How many of his community members did he feast on? All good, and answered, questions. Thanks for listening!

Well hello! It's Angel season 1 episode 14 this week and it's full of more red herrings than a bag of swedish fish. Demons and children and parental abuse and inadequacy complexes.... What a romp. Let's hope the exorcism goes well because we could use the win. Thanks for listening!
