S2E15: Phases – Werewolves, Masculinity, and Monster Metaphors

It’s Buffy meets Teen Wolf as we dive into Phases—the series’ first werewolf episode. Oz is adorable and tortured, Larry is overcompensating, and Giles is packing heat (well, a tranquilizer gun). Alan and Jarrod unpack werewolf lore from Peter Stump to St. Patrick, discuss Jeph Loeb's unexpected connection to Teen Wolf and Buffy, and explore the episode’s layered metaphors: toxic masculinity, repressed identity, and the animal inside us all. Willow’s heart breaks, Buffy’s strength shines, and Cain the misogynist werewolf hunter gets exactly what he deserves. Plus: locker room hijinks, a feminist critique of monster tropes, and Alan’s own werewolf comic origin story.
