Show Notes
This week, Travis tackles one of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer's" most divisive episodes, "Beer Bad." Known for its heavy-handed approach to the dangers of underage drinking, this episode features Buffy grappling with the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption, which inexplicably turns college students into Neanderthals. Join Travis, Amy, Stephen, and Audie on "Those Were The Days" as they delve into why this episode fell flat amid an otherwise critically acclaimed series. They'll explore the episode's narrative choices, its reception by fans and critics, and what it reveals about the challenges of blending public service messages with entertainment. Tune in for an insightful look at how even the most beloved series can have their off moments, and what this means for the legacy of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Next week, we're kicking off Fox Cartoons month! Audie is bringing us the GOAT right away with Batman: The Animated Series - S1E14 - Heart of Ice
Streaming on Max, where it is actually listed as S1E4
