A new student can really change the dynamic of the friend group, especially when they are centuries old and have to suck the life out of people to keep living.

Your mom thinks you're a screw up, your teachers are out to get you, your boss won't get off your back, and a punk rock vampire takes your family and friends hostage on the night of the parent teacher conference.

Love makes you do the whacky, like reanimating your dead brother, sewing together corpses, and kidnapping and plotting to kill your classmate.

IT'S SEASON 2!!!! Buffy's back from summer vacation and struggles to get back into the groove of classes, friends, and being revived after a centuries old vampire king killed her.

In honor of 5 years of podcasting we watched The Hurt Locker Part 1 & 2 with some of our patrons! Here is our commentary on the episodes so you can watch along with us and hear our live thoughts. Thank you for 5 years!

A look back at season 1 with superlatives, emails, and season 2 predictions

When your crush doesn't like you back it can really feel like the end of the world. Especially when it coincides with the Vampire King gaining the ability to walk above ground, a Lovecraftian monster bursting through the floor of your school, and a prophecy foretelling your death.

Sometimes at school you can feel invisible, and then you use that invisibility to torture and mutilate the people who ignored you.

High school can be a real nightmare! Especially when a local kid with psychic abilities falls into a coma causing everyone's bad dreams to come to life

Buffy and friends deal with the teen struggles of stage fright, and a mystical force killing off their classmates in the school talent show.

Willow learns the hard way that people you meet online could actually be much older than they say. Like centuries older. And also a demon.

It's a big one! Buffy discovers the mysterious older man she's been dating has a big secret, and an ex girlfriend who wants to kill her. First love man.

Xander falls in with a group of kids who are a bad influence on him. They pick on other kids, they don't take school seriously, and they eat people alive, because they are actually hyena spirits in the bodies of human teenagers.

Buffy has a date with a cute boy in her class but, aw man, it's the same night as the apocalypse! Can she balance her double life, or will millions of people die by her negligence? Tune in to find out!

Xander's been bit by the love bug, but its for his teacher! Who's also a literal bug and is going to bite his head off. Teen crushes are tough, man.

We are discussing your thoughts on the show, Dr Who, which member of the New Directions would be a Slayer, and the Master serving.

Remember your one friend in high school who's parent was way too overbearing and controlling over their life? And remember that one time when their parent took up witchcraft and swapped bodies with them leading to a malicious Freaky Friday? And then their parent in your friends body tried to poison and then axe murder you? That's what this episode is.

Buffy and co work to thwart the Master's master (get it?) plan to walk above ground, Xander struggles to kill his best friend turned vampire, and the Master and Luke are definitely hooking up

NEW SHOW NEW PODCAST! We're leaving the halls of McKinley and heading to Sunnydale High as we talk about our history with Buffy, what we love about the Scoobies, and Darla being an uninformed citizen.
