  • Out of Mind, Out of Sight Might Be Season 1’s Most Real Episode - S1E11
    Dec 26 2025

    This week we rewatch Out of Mind, Out of Sight, and wow… this episode hits hard. We talk invisibility as a metaphor for high school loneliness, Cordelia’s surprising depth, Buffy feeling sidelined even with friends, and why Marcy’s story is both terrifying and heartbreaking. We also get into Angel’s return, first-ever Angel and Giles interaction, Hellmouth physics, and that chilling government ending. 💬 Which character did you relate to most in this episode — Buffy, Cordelia, or Marcy?

We talk test anxiety, naked-in-class dreams, spiders, clowns, Buffy being buried alive, and vampire Buffy looking way too cool. We also unpack why the episode works so well as a dream, how budget limits actually helped it, Giles’ iconic lines, and that uncomfortable ending with Billy. Which nightmare hit closest to home for you — the exam, the clown, or being buried alive?

    We’re talking I Robot… You Jane, the episode where Willow gets catfished by a literal demon, Giles meets Jenny Calendar for the first time, and everyone somehow trusts teenagers to scan demon books unsupervised.

Plus demon-in-the-computer metaphors, 90s tech chaos, and why this episode is secretly a lot darker than people remember. Tell us your favourite moment below!

  • The Praying Mantis Teacher, Thirsty Xander, and Angel’s Jacket - S1E4
    Oct 24 2025

    Sema and Sally break down Season 1, Episode 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “Teacher’s Pet.” They talk about the creepy (and honestly ridiculous) She-Mantis plot, why this episode feels so uncomfortable to watch now, and how it handles student–teacher predatory behaviour in a way that’s both dark and silly.

    They get into Xander’s fantasy of being Buffy’s hero, why he actually doesn’t understand who Buffy really is, and how Willow sees him way more clearly than he sees her. They also talk about Buffy’s first real spark with Angel at the Bronze, that jacket moment, and why early Buffy/Angel still works.

    Plus: Dr. Gregory being the first teacher to believe in Buffy, Giles being dramatic, the monster design, and why this is one of the Season 1 episodes they usually skip.
