Description

Reposted from Still Slaying: A Buffy-verse podcast which you can find at Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast | Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV.

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.

Next time, we’ll be covering BTVS, Season 4, Episode 12, “A New Man.”

Keep Slaying!
