About this listen

In this episode, we delve into Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s “Angel” (S1.E7), exploring the intricate dance between medieval lore and modern storytelling. We unravel the layers of Angel's character, a vampire cursed with a soul, and how his past intertwines with Buffy's present. The episode highlights the tension between ancient evil and contemporary life, as Buffy navigates her feelings for Angel amidst the backdrop of gothic horror and medieval symbolism. Join us as we dissect the show's use of historical references and its portrayal of complex relationships, all while Buffy remains the steadfast hero in a world teetering between light and dark.
