  • Summary

  • Spin-off! Your hosts talk about the struggles of CW's Arrow in its later seasons, the very many supernatural love triangles of the 2000s and 2010s, and how TV/movie writers just cannot capture how young people text. Also: the origins of Buffy's Angel, and a tangent about English linguistics.


    Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of ephebophilia (and pedophilia), and toxic relationships.
