although we've come.... to the eeeend of the rooooad.... still i can't leeeet gooooo...... this is it, y'all! the finale. there is just so much we cover in this episode that i cannot in good faith summarize it with a little pithy description. we're done! thank you so much for listening! you've made this journey a fun one. if you ever want to come b…

AND ALMOST TWO MONTHS LATER, WE'VE RETURNED! due to some pretty serious personal Stuff, we weren't able to get this episode edited and uploaded in a timely manner. but we're here now! we've got mystery scythes. we've got chloroform. we've got... angel????De către buffy speak

in our first (!!!) in-person recording session since the premiere of our podcast, lo, those many years ago, we try and tally the people of color in this season, talk about spike and buffy's relationship (duh) and update ourselves on tom lenk's current career.De către buffy speak

WOOP DE DOO, we finally reached beth's least favorite episode of the entire series. sure do love to see our protagonist abandoned by her friends and loved ones! sure do Love That!De către buffy speak

hello, caleb! hello, faith! goodbye, xander's left eye (or was it right? i'm too lazy to look it up)! goodbye, multiple potential slayers! PRIESTS. am i right ladies?De către buffy speak

this episode? is FUCKED. the gaps in spike's past are finally all filled in, but the most important thing is that buffy DEFINITELY didn't know that spike killed robin's mother and that beth is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT right. tell your friends.De către buffy speak

this episode is Fine but we get a bunch of andrew, which can be nice, depending on whether or not he's totally denying murdering his friend.De către buffy speak

TRIGGER WARNING: this episode of buffy speak discusses discusses rape and, briefly, suicide. feel free to skip this one if you are uncomfortable with those topics! y'all like episodes that are at once lore-heavy and also answer NO questions whatsoever?? then this is the episode for you!! we've also got questionable narrative decisions, half-baked r…

racism! racism galore! we've got racism against asian people, we've got racism against black people, we've got it all, folks! don't you JUST LOVE IT.De către buffy speak

amy sucks, kennedy... kind of... doesn't suck?, beth has never seen sky high and andrew is a downright delight. all this and more on this week's episode of BUFFY SPEAK: THE COLLEGE YEARSDe către buffy speak

we continue to be BAFFLED by the fact that some people don't like dawn. what's wrong with you??? WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO DO TO PLEASE YOU PEOPLE???De către buffy speak

beth manages to find one thing about each potential that she likes and caroline gets a SPECIAL SURPRISE when she finds out she didn't actually finish the episode.De către buffy speak

so much has happened!! beth went to Podcast Convention Two, beth got engaged, beth saw mr. pointy in the (wooden) flesh, and caroline saw a badass lady on the train. oh, and also we talk about buffy.De către buffy speak

"never leave me" indeed! sorry we've been away for (undisclosed amount of time) but we're BACK and we are OUT OF ORDER. caroline's hard drive is kind of shot, and we may not get our original 708 back, but here's 709 while you wait! we've got andrew. we've got spike. we've got andrew and spike. what more could any of us want!!…

conversations with alive people about conversations with dead people about the indigo girls and tom hanksDe către buffy speak

wow this episode is bad! i mean, like, really bad! like, misogyny and strange editing and weird character choices bad! WHY'D YOU DO US LIKE THIS ANDREW? WHYYYYDe către buffy speak

friends stabbing friends, friends accidentally getting their friends disintegrated, friends pouring all of their identities into their romantic partners, and STILL this episode doesn't carry as much of the emotional weight as it wants to. oh well.De către buffy speak

everyone please welcome this week's guest, a bird! their credentials are that they went to bird school, which is for birds, and are therefore incredibly qualified to speak to this episode of buffy.De către buffy speak

beth and caroline don't particularly care for this story line so we spend most of it talking about jack black and the johns mulaney and cusack. hope that's okay.De către buffy speak

it's all come down to this, folks. we've been doing this podcast for almost three years, and we've finally come to the ultimate question. the final query. the question that, were it to be answered correctly, would cause society's ruination and humanity's demise: who topped, spike or angel?De către buffy speak

welcome to season 7 everyone!! the lessons WE learn this week are you can always go back to high school, especially if the weird principal knows everything about you, and that our last season is gonna be a blast.De către buffy speak

"i'm sick of willow's bullshit" - caroline sears, 2018De către buffy speak

meghan griffin (@megggriffin) joins us for one last go around the depressing season 6 track. xander sucks! dawn and buffy are the best! GILES IS BACK!!! what a rollercoaster we've been on, friends. we can't wait to never watch season 6 ever again. onwards and upwards!De către buffy speak

should willow and tara have gotten back together? how low can xander stoop? these are important questions, but none so important as why caroline never goes to waffle house.De către buffy speak

linnea thunselle (@linnea1928) joins us for... an episode. yep, this sure is an episode of buffy the vampire slayer, helmed by joss whedon, starring sarah michelle geller and others. yep. this episode sure does exist. mhm.De către buffy speak

this week we're joined by mae copeland (twitter: @zaddymae, instagram: @buffythestyleslayer) to contemplate just what in the world the writers were hoping to accomplish by breaking xander and anya up. WHAT'S THE POINT? WHAT IS TO BE GAINED??????De către buffy speak

in continuing the tradition of our opinion of buffy's love interests being in a total state of flux, we actually really like riley in this episode!! WHO ARE WE?????????De către buffy speak

julie marostica (@jojomarostica on instagram) joins us to talk about the last ever buffy birthday episode, and what an episode it is! we've got all your favorite characters: richard, sophie, clem (okay but clem is actually the best). we also cover the buffy reboot, which......... yikes.De către buffy speak

madeline devillers (@radddeline on instagram) joins us to talk about a TRULY BLEAK episode of buffy. while we try to distract ourselves from the darkness that threatens to encroach at any given moment, we talk about the pros and cons of buffy/spike and.... not much else, honestly.De către buffy speak

wow! caroline gives this episode our very first 11/10! and since there's no recording of it there's no way to prove that i'm lying!De către buffy speak

In Which They Take The Metaphor A Little Too FarDe către buffy speak

similar to season 6 itself, this episode of buffy speak gets A LIL DARKER than we intended, but it's okay because... slaps?De către buffy speak

SPIKE: hewwo buffy BUFFY: ...what SPIKE: i'm in wuv wif you BUFFY: What Is Going OnDe către buffy speak

IT'S HERE!!! IT'S REALLY, FINALLY HERE!! if you can stand beth singing every reference to every song, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!De către buffy speak

there is bookoodles and bookoodles of foreshadowing in this episode that beth did not remember and cannot talk about with caroline, so if you're coming here for that, TOUGH COOKIES.De către buffy speak

this show has vampires and demons figuring on a regular basis, but the least realistic part is the part in this episode where every student in a college classroom want to volunteer information when prompted. absolutely untenable.De către buffy speak

here we are, armed with an overwrought metaphor for adulthood and an EXCELLENT scene between willow and giles.De către buffy speak

@ THE UNIVERSE: LEAVE BUFFY ALONE!!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!De către buffy speak

beth's friend summer joins us to talk about the start to season 6, AND WHAT A BLEAK START IT IS. luckily, beth has a special new game to lighten things up!De către buffy speak

meghan griffin (@MeggGriffin) joins us to talk about what, exactly, ben's connection is with glory.De către buffy speak
