About this listen
 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.

    94: BTVS S5E8 “Shadow”
    Nov 4 2026
    “Just once, I would like to run into a cult of bunny worshipers.”Penny and Kara talk through this snake-tastic episode, lamenting Joyce’s scary diagnosis and Riley’s downward spiral while finding plenty of tangents along the way, including apocalypse preparations, HR departments, the patriarchy, special effects, sycophancy, and high heels. Errata: Penny mentioned Kyle Chandler when she meant Ron Livingston and Alden Ehrenreich when she meant Austin Butler. Still Slaying will be on hiatus for the rest of November. When we’re back in December, we’ll be covering Angel, season 2, episode 9, “The Trial.” Keep Slaying!News Links/Referenced LinksOriginal Trailer/WB Promo: BTVS Original Promo for “Shadow” Ty Xavier Panitz (@tyxpanitz) • Instagram photos and videoshttps://suicidefood.blogspot.com/'Miami Vice' Reboot With Michael B.

    93: Angel S2E8 “The Shroud of Rahmon”
    Oct 14 2026

    “I hate waiting. You got anybody to eat around here?”

    Penny and Kara talk through this noir-heist episode and find some tangents along the way including ads on streaming platforms, Las Vegas as the perfect city for vampires, Heist movies like Ocean’s Eleven and The Thomas Crown Affair, Pierce Brosnan, James Bond, exploitative costuming, celebrity sightings, and, as usual, vampire dietary requirements.

    Next time we’ll tackle BTVS Season 5, episode 8, “Shadow.”
