Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast

“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!

“That’s the funny thing about hope. Nobody else gets to decide if you feel it. That choice belongs to you.” Penny, Kara and Karen celebrate all things HUNTR/X, talking through the three main characters, the allure of the Saja Boys, the powerful draw of the music, the fun choreography, finding community through shared fandom, inspiring creativity in fans, the deeper meanings hidden behind the bright colors and banging tunes and the power of love in original content. The discussion touches on neurodivergence, generational trauma, the value of a layered film that families can watch and enjoy together (co-viewing), cultural appropriation, K-pop and K-pop culture, Motown and factory music systems, soft power, K-Dramas, voice acting, gender in fandoms, bad boy appeal, shame, toxic fandom, and the intersection of art and commerce. Next time we’ll be talking about Buffy, Season 4, Episode 14, “Goodbye, Iowa.” Keep Slaying!

"If you think that's enough to kill me, you really don't know what a Slayer is. Trust me when I say you're gonna find out." Penny, Becky and Steve joyfully dive into this heel turn episode, they learn that words can be hard, recall some iconic news items about The Sims and Diddy before he was Diddy, and Becky’s childhood dinner with Al Gore. The discussion goes on to include Jiffy Pop, knee replacement, Yahoo Groups, queer representation through the years, Maggie Walsh’s voyeurism, team dynamics, evolving gender roles, Buffy’s patrolling halter, Aliens, Alien: Earth, and Willow’s hairstyling talents. Also, Steve gives us some insight from his time in the military. Next time we’ll be talking about “K-Pop Demon Hunters!” We’d love to hear from you on that, and we’d love to hear from your kids!

“What am I? I'm an unemployed librarian with a tendency to get knocked on the head.” Penny, Kara, and Dodie revel in the silliness of this mid-season romp: a rare episode focusing on Giles. The trio talk about the cruelty of Maggie Walsh, Giles’s mid-life crisis, men feeling intimidated by powerful women, shiny shirts, measuring tapes, hiking metaphors, the male gaze, daddy issues and daddy issues tropes and pop psychology, “nice guys,” Barbie and Ken, Taylor and Travis, how “Travis Swift” would be the best name, villain monologues, demons in space, the Fourth Amendment, and patriarchy as usual.

Content Warning: Discussion of volence against women in many forms, including sexual violence, forced pregnancy and birth, ….. “Oh, and Baudelaire was actually a little taller and a lot drunker than he's depicted here.” The Scooby Duo gets into some of the serious issues raised in these two episodes. They have the “serious” conversation about exploitation of women and personal thoughts on current events in the US up top. If you’d like to skip to the fun stuff, jump to the 39 minute mark. Then the conversation ranges as usual, through the variety of silliness, like cigarette lighters in cars, vintage cell phones, the beauty of platonic friendship, grappling hooks, rules of demon deals, the power of an English cuppa, hot beverages on The Big Bang Theory, found family, “what’s in the box,” Repo Man, Marcellus Wallace, Batman, Entourage, and the male gaze. In a few weeks, Still Slaying will be covering the smash hit, “K-Pop Demon Hunters” so send us your thoughts on that.

“My glamorous LA life, I get to make the coffee and chain the boss to the bed. I've got to join a union.” It’s the return of the Scooby Duo as Penny and Kara lament that we only got one episode of Jeremy Renner’s Penn. They discuss serial killers, serial killer movies and tropes, vampire sluts, the myriad uses of holy water, Black Cat Appreciation Day, rooms full of crazy, big boards, the best ways to ease civilians into the world of vampires and demons, survival, and “daddy issues.” Next time, we’ll be covering Angel Season 1, episodes 12 and 13, “Expecting” and “She.” Keep Slaying!

“Blues wasn't forced on us like that religion. Nah, son, we brought that with us from home. It's magic what we do. It's sacred... and big.” Penny, Sam, Kara and Jason revel in the artistic and box office success of Ryan Coogler’s genre defying tale of family, fellowship, music, and freedom. The discussion ranges from the serious to the silly, with stops along the way for auteur theory, sports metaphors, representation, all art is political, zombie movies, sundown towns, the Tulsa Massacre/Black Wall Street, the horror genre as conduit for political and social discourse, joy as revolutionary act, A.I. and cultural appropriation, Annie as a potential slayer, oners, Alvin Ailey, and #OscarsSoWhite.

“Batten down the hatches. Here comes Hurricane Buffy.” Penny, Kara and Sam are joined by Dodie this week to find the light in the sadness of this iconic crossover episode. The four find plenty to laugh about, including fashion, clocks, Lois Lane, alternate universes, free will, snail mail, the butterfly effect, time loop stories, regret, quippy dialogue on other shows, sewers, possible career paths for Angel, and pure speculation about the reboot. Next time, we’ll be covering Angel Season 1, Episode 9, “Hero” and Episode 10 “Parting Gifts.” Keep Slaying! Deleted Scene Doyle: “So Buffy and Angel? It’s always been pretty volatile?” Cordelia: “That was nothing. One time they kicked the daylights out of each other at the mall… I was too embarassed to shop there for, like, weeks”. Doyle: “It must have been good sometime” Cordelia: “At first he was just hanging around in the shadows, spying on us - boy, a lot’s changed there huh? I was seeing someone at the time so I guess he just fixated on her”. Doyle: “And eventually they got together?” Cordelia: “Did they ever, on her seventeenth birthday. Which kicked in his ‘knowing a moment of true happiness’ curse and then it really got ugly.” Doyle: “He went bad, tried to kill her”. Cordelia: “He tried to kill everybody. You weren’t really going out much after dark in these days…..then she ran him through with a sword, sent him to Hell. He popped out four months later which was like a hundred years of torment in demon time or something… his hair’s never really been the same”. Doyle: “And then?” Cordelia: “Then they were on-again, off-again - you sort of need a score card at this point - but finally they broke up for real last spring. That’s when he took off for LA. The story thus far”. Doyle: “Great.

“Over bickering and confusion, I'll take pie.” The Slay Squad returns from hiatus with a double episode - Sam, Kara and Penny dig into this pair of episodes that each address the cultural clashes in very different contexts. The trio digress for some tangents as usual, like parental advice not to take drugs from a stranger, boring dates, general appreciation for the men of Angel, Rachel Dolezal, vampire eyesight, Aragorn, symbolic cannibalism, patriarchy (as always), Dickensian orphanhood, vampire senses, the criminal justice system, voir dire, The Village People, and JRR Tolkien.

“I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.” Penny, Kara and Sam have almost too much fun discussing this pivotal episode where secrets are revealed, hair is pulled and everyone talks about cheese. The trio indulge in many tangents, including international travel, dating strategies, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, clumsiness, rape culture, Matilda, fashion trials and tribulations, character likeability, shoes in bed, and how Kara’s cat doesn’t like it when she swears. We’ll be on hiatus for a few weeks. When we’re back, we’ll be covering Angel, Season 1, Episode 7, “The Bachelor Party.” Keep Slaying!

“My whole life... I've never loved anything else.” Nobody’s favorite episode, but absolutely critical to plot and character development. Penny and Kara dig into the heartbreak of it all, while still finding plenty of time for 90s nostalgia and tangent topics like toothpaste flavors, “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” lust, dating options for Giles, the puzzling allure of “Entourage,” daughters of Presidents, intimacy coordinators, identity as a concept, plantar warts, and of course, the patriarchy and rape culture.

Content Warning: discussion of police brutality, acts of violence, and racism “No, I don't think 'urgh' is the magic word, if one would *call* it a word. And even then it's certainly not a magic one." The Scooby Duo rip into this episode that plays police brutality and sensitivity training for laughs. Kara’s background as a prosecutor really comes in handy illuminating some of the realities of the criminal justice system. The wide ranging tangents include: infomercials, Mad Men, Nickelodeon Slime, Jane Austen, media depictions of daddy issues, Herb Saunders from Baltimore, gangsters at the gym, rape culture, diet culture, the patriarchy (of course), the history of policing, art vs. commerce, David Tenant, and weasely lawyers, and we have a Still Slaying first, a double “Does Not Still Slay.” Next time, we’ll be covering Buffy, Season 4, Episode 6, “Wild at Heart.” Be a rainbow… not a painbow.

Content Warning: discussion of domestic abuse and abusive relationships. “The man doesn’t have a mirror. Like it would kill him to not see himself?” Penny, Sam and returning guest Becky go deeper than they anticipated about this relatively lighthearted Cordelia-focused episode about the difficulties of finding an affordable unhaunted apartment in Los Angeles. The trio cover a range of topics, as usual, such as classified ads in newspapers, the history of the word “Bitch,” the demon economy, demon law firms, which demons we would vote for, interventions, change, truth, violence against demons, Squid Game, the comfort in moral simplicity, subverted expectations, preferred ghost roommates, and ghostbusters.

“Oh, yeah? Well... so's your face!” Things are a bit lighter this week for the Slay Squad as they accompany the scoobies to a Frat House Halloween Party. This is Sunnydale, so the party is upended by an accidentally invited demon. Penny and Kara power through some tech problems to discuss the spooky antics of Gachnar. The conversation topics include Fight Club, the Yankees, confidence, cultural appropriation, the lack of diversity in Sunnydale, sidekicks, Halloween, and fear, fear and more fear.
