About this listen

 Welcome to The Re-Watcher’s Council, where vampires have souls, Slayers have trauma, and we have a lot of opinions. Every week, your favorite council of LGRN's chaotic good podcasters dives into the Buffyverse—rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel episode by episode. From witty one-liners to gut-wrenching betrayal, doomed romances to demon metaphors, we unpack what made these two shows iconic, messy, and timeless. Whether you're Team Buffy, Team Angel, Team Faith, or Team “Why does Riley exist?”, we’ve got a seat at the table (and probably a pun or two about it).LGRN (Let's Get Ready Network) Art

    The Shadow That Changes Everything | Buffy S05E08 Rewatch
    Dec 19 2025
    Something ancient is watching.Something powerful is moving closer.And Buffy is starting to understand what she’s really up against.In “Shadow,” the pieces begin to slide into place. Buffy learns more about Glory’s true nature—and just how dangerous she really is—while a terrifying creature stalks the Scoobies from the darkness. As Joyce’s health crisis deepens and Dawn’s safety becomes more uncertain, the weight of Season 5 starts pressing down hard. This is the episode where dread takes root and refuses to let go.It’s quieter than the episodes around it.And somehow, that makes it worse.🎙 Hosted by your found-family Watchers:• Rob “Snark” Clark → / snarkyeti • Fares Muthana → / faresmuthana • Adelia Chamberlain → https://bsky.app/profile/schizoaffect... 💬 Did Shadow change how you viewed Glory as a Big Bad?

  • Angel Spirals While Darla Rises | Angel S02E07 Rewatch

    Angel Spirals While Darla Rises | Angel S02E07 Rewatch
    Dec 13 2025

    Darla lives.

    Angel unravels.

    And Wolfram & Hart watch it all burn from the balcony.


    In “Darla,” the past refuses to stay buried. As Angel searches for answers—and for her—Darla spirals through memories of their centuries together, haunted by the weight of becoming human again. Angel feels her suffering like a phantom limb, chasing visions and dreams that cut deeper than any blade.


    Meanwhile, Lindsey leans into his villain era, Drusilla makes a chilling appearance, and the battle for Darla’s soul becomes the thread pulling Angel closer to the edge. It’s tragic, operatic, and beautifully messy—classic Angel.

    💬 Does this episode make you ache for Darla? Do you think Angel is helping her—or just chasing his own ghosts? And how unhinged did Lindsey feel this time around?

  • The Night Spike Told the Truth | Buffy S05E07 Rewatch

    The Night Spike Told the Truth | Buffy S05E07 Rewatch
    Dec 12 2025

    A Slayer falls.

    A story begins.

    And Spike bares his soul—just a little too much.


    In “Fool for Love,” Buffy’s brush with death sends her searching for answers about her kind. Who better to ask than the vampire who’s killed two Slayers? What follows is a masterclass in character storytelling—Spike’s bloody, tragic, and surprisingly human history unfolds, from London poet to leather-clad killer. But his vulnerability comes at a cost, and when Buffy turns away, something in him changes forever.
