  • Buffy S03 E18: Earshot (What buffy doesn't want) - CW
    May 1 2025

    Content Waring: depression, suicide, school shootings.


    A chauvinistic advertising executive acquires the ability to hear what women are thinking. He attempts to use this power to bring about the fall of his female boss, but as he uses this inside knowledge to outwit his superior, the bachelor begins to fall in love with her, and so finds himself feeling more than a little guilty when his plan to have her sacked looks like it may come to fruition.

  • Buffy S03 E16: Dopplelgangland (50 Shades of Willow)
    Apr 17 2025

    Doppelgangland is such a treat to watch. It’s very Joss Whedon - clever and funny with all those one liners.

    And, it’s not a useless stand-alone episode, there’s overall arc info, we get character insight and development, and some interesting themes about ethics, identity and motivation.

    It’s a Willow centric episode, and we continue on our identity journey with her.

    Join Max and special guest Kate as we dive into the 50th episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
