Podcast: Buffering the Vampire Slayer

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers!
You CLEARLY know that feeling when you develop a crush on your new substitute teacher who then turns out to be a giant praying mantis, right?!?! A high school rite of passage. Today we get to revel in all of the glory that is Ms. French aka the She-Mantis as we cover Buffy's S1E4 "Teacher's Pet" for the second time... this time with spoilers. *The* episode that spawned the legacy of Buffering's praying mantis mask. What a day.

Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs cover The X-Files one episode at a time.
It’s the FINALE of Season 2 of the X-Files and Mulder is taking LSD to celebrate. Scully cannot believe she didn’t get an autopsy *or* a bath, but she did get to sit at Mulder’s bedside and get yelled at by several different men!! We have conspiracies aplenty, a full adult size alien (just add water!) and Mulder in his teeeeny little undies. It’s S2E25 “Anasazi”!
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1.25/5 Trained Killers, School of the Americas Alumni
See you next year for Season Three 👽

Buffy is grounded, we’ve got a cymbal decapitation, Giles is taking his glasses off, and Luke — may his precious biceps rest in peace — is giving us the gayest shit we have ever seen. We love it *almost* as much as Darla. It’s S1E2 “The Harvest”… once more with spoilers!!!

Let's all skip out on geometry review so we can MAKE OUT IN THE BOILER ROOM, huh?!?! Finally, we come to the inspiration point that gave our podcast its name! Meanwhile, Brian is SO MAD, Danielle knows a ton about crustaceans, Graham talks a good risotto game, and Rickie does a great impression of the new English teacher, Mr. Katimsky. OH AND ALSO JORDAN HOLDS ANGELA'S HAND IN THE HALLWAY. Plus, Buffalo Tom. *wipes brow* That's right, it's Episode 12: Self-Esteem.

Though we are discussing "Our Town" today, it is decidedly NOT the play by Thornton Wilder but rather an episode of The X-Files in which the townsfolk are dining on... other townsfolk! Cannibalism: the other red meat??

It's time for the World Happiness Dance and for women to do all of the emotional labor! Rickie has a crush, Brian breaks Delia's heart, Graham is great at wallpaper, and Angela melds with the chain link fence outside of the school wondering HOW IS SHE?!?! It's an episode from Brian's perspective that contains more flannel than we've ever seen and dance moves that have never been rivaled. Welcome to Episode 11: Life of Brian, featuring a segment from our interview with Senta Moses Mikan!

November 6, 2024 seems like a fitting day to say "Welcome to the Hellmouth," so let us get right to it. Darla is using her combination princess-voice and killer fangs to upend expectations, Cordelia is Cordelia-ing out, Giles has ALREADY CIRCLED A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE IN RED MARKER, Buffy takes her first trip to the Bronze after encountering a dark and brooding stranger in a nearby alley, Joyce's hair is so short, and Luke is BIG.

He was going nowhere, going nowhere fast, and everything looked black 'til he found her... That's right everyone, and he called her "Red." Buckle up (GET IT?! BECAUSE RED IS HIS GODDAMN CAR), because Jordan is about to hum his way through a museum field trip, find Angela's five page love letter, and let us all know that he wishes he could be one of those guys who makes fake snow for skiing... This week we are discussing S1E7: Why Jordan Can't Read!

This episode originally aired on October 3, 2019.
Liberty High has a new substitute teacher by the name of Vic Racine who is shaking things up by mismatching his socks and allowing some very sexy haikus (that are not actually haikus) to be printed in this year's Liberty Lit. Sharon and Rayanne are secretly bonding in the bathroom, Jordan is finally awake in class, and Angela is taking a stand against censorship while also learning that our heroes aren't always as perfect as they seem. This week we are discussing S1E6: The Substitute!
