This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re facing our fears with Season 1, Episode 10 — “Nightmares.” What starts as a run-of-the-mill Sunnydale day quickly spirals into full-on subconscious horror as everyone’s worst fears start coming true. Homework, clowns, spiders, and deeply buried trauma? Absolutely not.

We break down Buffy’s terrifying confrontation with her own doubts, fear of public humiliation (relatable), and how this episode quietly deepens the emotional stakes of Season 1 while still delivering peak monster-of-the-week weirdness. Plus: why this episode hits harder than it has any right to this early in the series.

Grab your crucifix, face your inner demons, and maybe avoid the basement — it’s Buffy at its darkest, strangest, and most psychologically revealing yet.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re taking the stage with Season 1, Episode 9 — “The Puppet Show.” Sunnydale High hosts a talent show (already a red flag), Principal Snyder makes his unforgettable debut, and somehow a ventriloquist dummy becomes suspect number one in a string of very real murders. Peak early-Buffy chaos.

We break down Buffy’s suspicion of Sid the puppet, Giles’ descent into talent-show-director hell, and why this episode works so well as a classic Season 1 monster-of-the-week entry.

Grab your spotlight, your wooden stake, and try not to heckle the performers — it’s Buffy at its creepiest, goofiest, and most surprisingly sincere.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re jacking into Season 1’s most chaotic tech adventure — “I, Robot… You, Jane.” From cursed chatrooms to early days internet drama (peak 90s energy!), this episode gives us Buffy’s first true “the internet is evil” storyline… and honestly? Moloch is serving big Reddit-mod-gone-wrong vibes.

We break down Willow’s ill-fated digital romance, Jenny Calendar’s unforgettable entrance into the Scooby dynamic, and why this episode is secretly a huge turning point for Giles’ relationships with both tech and Ms. Calendar herself. Plus, we talk monster-of-the-week structure, early-series character building, and what absolutely does not hold up in 2025.

Between stolen glances, crypt-side confessions, and one very dramatic shirtless reveal, this episode delivers the full 90s supernatural romance starter pack.We get into how the show finally pulls the curtain back on Angel’s curse (yes, that one), why Darla is out here being chaotic and iconic, and how the Buffy/Angel dynamic becomes the emotional backbone of the early series. Plus, we talk stakes (literal and relationship) and that final scene that still punches 25+ years later.Grab your wooden stakes and emotional support crossbow — this one’s a classic!Slay along with us every Tuesday!

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re sinking our teeth into “The Pack” — the hyena-possession classic that is way better than people give it credit for. Whether this is an unpopular opinion or not… we’re proudly Team Pack.

Between the eerie courtyard slow-mo prowl, Xander’s unsettling transformation (and very selective memory afterward), and the episode’s surprisingly dark turns, “The Pack” is early Buffy at its weirdest — and honestly, at its most compelling. We break down why the tone works, how the show uses this episode to test the boundaries of what a Monster-of-the-Week can do, and why this one sticks with you long after season one is over.

We also talk Xander’s possession arc (and everything the show does and doesn’t say about it), Willow’s emotional honesty, and Buffy navigating yet another week of “why is my high school like this?” energy. Plus, our thoughts on the episode’s darker moments, its place in early Buffy world-building, and how it sets the stage for the show’s willingness to push boundaries.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re talking “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” — where Buffy tries to have one normal night out and, shocker, the Hellmouth says absolutely not. Between crypt-side flirting, a brooding Giles reciting prophecies like a Victorian audiobook, and Owen’s obsession with death (red flag much?), this episode proves dating in Sunnydale is truly killer.

We break down how Buffy’s fight for balance — Slaying vs. social life — sets the stage for her whole journey, plus how the episode nails that early Buffy tone: campy, quippy, and a little tragic. Also, why does every “nice guy” in 90s TV have a pocket watch and a morbid hobby?

Plus: our takes on Giles’s father-figure guilt, Angel’s professional lurking skills, and a morgue date that somehow gets worse by the minute.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re heading back to biology class for Teacher’s Pet, where Buffy loses a genuinely wonderful teacher, Cordelia finds a head in the fridge (Sunnydale High cafeteria vibes), and a mysterious substitute shows up with big “extra credit after class” energy. Spoiler: she’s a literal She-Mantis, because in this town even faculty recruitment is cursed.

We break down how the show tries to throw us off with “Fork Guy” — a clawed vampire who is very much not the threat — and how even he’s scared of our seductive substitute. We also get into the chef’s kiss levels of cringe high-school-boy behavior, from braggy locker-room fantasies to Xander’s “I swear I’m cool” meltdown, proving teenage hormones are almost as dangerous as giant mantis talons.

Plus: Buffy’s bat-sonar science moment and that egg-cluster stinger ending that absolutely says “this isn’t over”… even though thankfully, it kind of is.
