About this listen

 Welcome to The Re-Watcher’s Council, where vampires have souls, Slayers have trauma, and we have a lot of opinions. Every week, your favorite council of LGRN's chaotic good podcasters dives into the Buffyverse—rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel episode by episode. From witty one-liners to gut-wrenching betrayal, doomed romances to demon metaphors, we unpack what made these two shows iconic, messy, and timeless. Whether you're Team Buffy, Team Angel, Team Faith, or Team “Why does Riley exist?”, we’ve got a seat at the table (and probably a pun or two about it).LGRN (Let's Get Ready Network) Art

  • Angel S02E10 Spoiler Review | When Redemption Takes a Detour

    Angel S02E10 Spoiler Review | When Redemption Takes a Detour
    Jan 24 2026

    Alliances shatter.

    Lines are crossed.

    And Angel makes a choice that changes everything.


    In “Reunion,” the fallout from The Trial detonates. Darla’s fate pushes Angel into darker territory than we’ve seen before, leading to a shocking decision that fractures Angel Investigations from the inside. As Wolfram & Hart maneuver, Drusilla returns in full chaos mode, and Lindsey’s schemes finally pay off, Angel begins slipping—quietly, deliberately—toward something terrifying.


    This is the episode where the moral center moves.

    Where good intentions stop being enough.

    And where Angel’s road to redemption takes a sharp, dangerous turn.


    It’s bold. It’s upsetting. And it’s one of the most important hours of the series.

  • Buffy S05E10 Spoiler Review | Goodbyes Hurt More Than Monsters

    Buffy S05E10 Spoiler Review | Goodbyes Hurt More Than Monsters
    Jan 23 2026

    A relationship fractures.

    A choice is made.

    And Buffy is left standing in the wreckage.


    In “Into the Woods,” Riley reaches the breaking point. Feeling sidelined, powerless, and increasingly lost in Buffy’s world, he makes a decision that forces Buffy to confront something brutal: love doesn’t always fail because people stop caring—sometimes it fails because they can’t meet each other where they are.


    As Riley prepares to leave Sunnydale, the episode explores masculinity, insecurity, and emotional labor with an honesty that still sparks debate years later. It’s not flashy. It’s not fun. But it is painfully human—and that’s what makes it linger.


    Sometimes the monster isn’t a demon.

    Sometimes it’s timing.

    Sometimes it’s fear.
