Penny and Kara take you on a journey of appreciation, nostalgia and deep analysis of all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently in BTVS Season 3 and we plan to rewatch the whole series (& Angel) in chronological order. New Episodes are published on Tuesdays.
Why revisit the Buffy-verse?
We think the show Still Slays. Buffy is both iconoclast and icon. 25 years ago she broke new ground for women characters as superheroes and women as people by subverting tropes, using kindness as strength and love as power. The cheeky vibe of the show provides a campy canvas for exploring some deep themes about trauma, societal ills and human nature all while delivering its signature witty dialogue. BTVS remains relevant and held in high critical regard 25 years later.
For first time watchers of the series we try to avoid too many spoilers until the end of the podcast so it’s easy to skip. You can be a part of the discussion: Send us a text or voice message at stillslayingfeedback@gmail.com or comment at facebook.com/groups/podcastica and we'll respond on the air.

“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.
Note: Since this is an R-Rated movie, we’ve decided not to humorously bleep out the swear words.
Next time we’ll be covering Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 4, Episode 11, “Doomed.”
Keep Slaying!
