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.

“I am Ethros. I corrupted the spirits of men before they had speech to name me.”
Trigger Warning: discussion of domestic abuse and childhood trauma
Penny and Sam dive into this tale of exorcism with a twist. The wide ranging conversation touches on infomercials, TV advertising, grief, insecurity, our potential careers as exorcists, faith, sociopathy, misogyny, teacher burnout, “emotion mind,” demon therapy, creepy dolls, magic box retail, and sociopathy and psycopathy.
Next time we’ll be talking about Angel Season 1, Episode 15, “The Prodigal.”
Keep Slaying!
Errata: The movie Penny references is “The Good Son” (1993) not “The Good Seed.”
