Penny and Kara take you on a journey of appreciation, nostalgia and deep analysis of all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently in BTVS Season 3 and we plan to rewatch the whole series (& Angel) in chronological order. New Episodes are published on Tuesdays. Why revisit the Buffy-verse? We think the show Still Slays. Buffy is both iconoclast and icon. 25 years ago she broke new ground for women characters as superheroes and women as people by subverting tropes, using kindness as strength and love as power. The cheeky vibe of the show provides a campy canvas for exploring some deep themes about trauma, societal ills and human nature all while delivering its signature witty dialogue. BTVS remains relevant and held in high critical regard 25 years later. For first time watchers of the series we try to avoid too many spoilers until the end of the podcast so it’s easy to skip.

    78: “Blade” (1998)
    May 20 2026
    “The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping! There is another world beneath it: the real world. And if you wanna survive it, you better learn to PULL THE TRIGGER!” Note: For this R-Rated film, we’ve suspended our no swears policy. Penny is joined by Jason and Renaldy to dive into the iconic vampire movie, “Blade.” The group has so much fun talking through vampire society and politics, Wesley Snipes’ career, 90s raves, The Matrix, vampire skincare, Rube Goldberg machines, prophecies, vampire polyamory, Sarah Connor, comparative vampire lore, Mahershala Ali and the delayed Blade MCU movie, Sinners, and all the many similarities in Buffy and Angel. Next time we’ll be covering Angel season 2, episode 1, “Judgement.” Keep Slaying!

    Apr 1 2026
    “Don’t believe everything you’re foretold.” Penny, Sam and Kara come together to talk about what’s in the box. Along the way, they veer into some great tangents, including Djo, Y2K makeup and fashion trends, To Live and Die in L.A., Doctor Who, Edna Mode and the impracticality of capes, Afroman, CPTSD, queer subtext, Buffyverse alums who appear on Supernatural, bystander effect, the Universal Signal for Help, The Good Place, and binary thinking. We’re going to be on a hiatus for a few weeks. We’ll be back in May covering the 1998 movie “Blade,” starring Wesley Snipes, before digging into the next seasons of Buffy and Angel, starting with Angel season 2, episode 1, “Judgement.” Keep Slaying!

    “Evil white folks really do have a Mecca.” Penny and Sam have a lot of laughs digging into this Lindsey-focused episode about the struggle between morals and the pursuit of power. Along the way, the conversation ranges through computer tropes on tv, grooming, evil Sheldon Cooper, scarcity mind set, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, redemption versus escape, law firm culture, career tracks, Andor, and heist tropes. Next time, we’ll be covering Angel season 1, episode 22, “To Shanshu in LA,” the finale. Keep Slaying!
