Podcasts by Once More With Commentary: A Buffy Podcast

Power Play/Not Fade Away from 2020-06-22T07:00

We made it to the end! We chat all about the final two episodes of Angel, which thankfully was as good as we remember but also shows the strengths and flaws of the series as a whole. Let’s get to w...

Time Bomb/The Girl In Question from 2020-06-15T07:00

What can we say? We are almost finished with Angel and unfortunately, these are the episodes we get for the antepenultimate run. Sigh. We tried to be generous, really, but we’re very over the Buffy...

Underneath/Origin from 2020-06-08T07:00

Lindsay’s back! Connor is back! This week, we talk through some tying up of loose ends and/or revisiting dropped plot lines, depending on how charitable you want to be. Lindsay gets rescued from a ...

A Hole in the World/Shells from 2020-06-01T07:00

It's a tragic double header for Angel this week, as another woman on this show dies to birth a demon. Sigh.

Why We Fight/Smile Time from 2020-05-18T07:00

It’s Smile Time! Yes, we finally got to watch the puppet episode! And it’s still pretty great! But we also watched “Why We Fight” which was less good. We talk about both episodes this week, with a ...

Damage/You're Welcome from 2020-05-11T07:00

It’s almost an episode of Buffy:The Continuing Story this week when Andrew shows up in LA to bring in a newly discovered Potential, and deliver some unwelcome feedback to Angel and co. on their cur...

Harm's Way/Soul Purpose from 2020-05-04T07:00

It’s a day in the life of Harmony Kendall, young vampire just trying to make it on her own! This episode is delightful and we can’t get enough of the comedy, pain, and resourcefulness Angel’s assis...

Lineage/Destiny from 2020-04-20T07:00

Wesley’s father shows up at W&H, spinning Wesley backwards in his character arc and causing us to ask a lot of questions about Angel alternate histories. Then, Spike gets mail! He’s corporeal! He a...

Life of the Party/The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco from 2020-04-13T07:00

It’s our Pudding Podcast! Well, we talk about it for 10 minutes anyway, but you can skip ahead to hear our thoughts on Lorne’s subconscious and Numero Cinco, a man without hope who might be able to...

Unleashed/Hell Bound from 2020-04-06T07:00

This week, Angel encounters a werewolf supper club and the team asks why Wolfram & Hart doesn't have more hauntings. Spike confronts an enemy and tries to avoid slipping into hell.

Conviction/Just Rewards from 2020-03-30T07:00

Angel is running the L.A. branch of Wolfram & Hart and discovering the perks and challenges of his new position, as are Fred, Wesley, Lorne and Gunn. Harmony returns as Angel’s new assistant, we me...

Chosen/Home from 2020-02-24T08:00

We made it to the end of Buffy! Cue some tears (but no bubbly, Allie is in Boston before noon). We start with the Angel finale, and the Wolfram & Hart deal has us very excited for next season, bye ...

End Of Days/Peace Out from 2020-02-17T08:00

This week, Buffy reenacts the Sword In the Stone, Angel arrives in town, and everyone prepares for the final battle. Meanwhile on Angel, our hero is somehow also in a hell dimension, while his frie...

Touched/Sacrifice from 2020-02-10T08:00

It’s a brazil nut of an episode for Buffy this week, when Faith replaces Buffy as lead slayer and…everyone just has sex. Buffy finds her sword in the stone and Faith leads the potentials into a tra...

Empty Places/The Magic Bullet from 2020-02-03T08:00

On Buffy, tensions come to a head as the potentials, Giles and Xander confront Buffy over her leadership. Spike and Andrew take a road trip and learn more about what Caleb is after. In LA, Fred tri...

Dirty Girls/Shiny Happy People from 2020-01-27T08:00

It’s refreshing for Buffy to again have a flesh and blood villain to fight instead of whatever the First is, and Caleb brings a real creep factor to this story. But would it have worked better if h...

Lies My Parents Told Me/Inside Out from 2020-01-20T08:00

This Buffy episode doesn’t quite live up to our memories of enjoying it, and we have our quibbles, but we do get some good flashbacks for both Spike and Principal Wood. Although, what is the show t...

Storyteller/Players from 2020-01-13T08:00

Andrew treats us to his version of Masterpiece Theater this week, but his attempts to catalogue the work of the slayer lead ultimately to a confrontation of his own actions and part he’s played in ...

Get It Done/Orpheus from 2020-01-06T08:00

It’s a day in the life in Sunnyvale this week, as So.Much.Is.Happening. and we don’t quite know which part is supposed to be important? Let us not forget this is episode with the bonkers insanity o...

First Date/Release from 2019-12-16T08:00

We planned the TED Talk for Ginny’s wedding! But also, we discussed “First Date” and “Release” and since when was Buffy in love with Spike? That’s a bad retcon. Good retcon would be Principle Wood ...

The Killer In Me/Salvage from 2019-12-09T08:00

We are extremely “nay” on these episodes this week! Buffy was just boring, and Angel was just gross. Both shows also insist on missing the point of what is interesting in favor of…what, we aren’t s...

Potential/Calvary from 2019-12-02T08:00

It’s a great episode of Buffy as Dawn confronts her future as a Potential, and then the idea that she’ll just be normal in a world of friends with extraordinary powers. Fortunately, Xander is there...

Showtime/Soulless from 2019-11-18T08:00

This week in burning questions, is there only one bathroom in the Summers house? Also, we might understand the motivations of the First now! Maybe? And Buffy puts on a great show for the Potentials...

Bring On the Night/Awakening from 2019-11-11T08:00

We didn’t like this Buffy episode. The First is too broad a villain at this point and the story is too unfocused as a result. And then half of us got duped by the Angel episode, yikes! But we’re re...

Never Leave Me/Long Day's Journey from 2019-11-04T08:00

On Buffy, the scoobies try to figure out what Spike knows and what’s been happening to him, while an unexpected run in with Andrew brings more chaos and harbingers to the house. In L.A., Angel and ...

Sleeper/Habeas Corpses from 2019-10-28T07:00

We’re getting deeper into the season with the Big Bad for Buffy and still totally lost as to the motivations. Why is this happening again? Is this Bad just too Big to be effective? For Angel, this ...

Conversations With Dead People/Apocalypse, Nowish from 2019-10-21T07:00

We have a pared down cast this week on Buffy, as the slayer, Willow, and Dawn all meet the enemy and are told disturbing revelations. On Angel, we swallow our vomit as Connor and Cordelia get icky ...

Him/Spin the Bottle from 2019-10-14T07:00

“Him” is kind of a nothing and we don’t have too much to say about it, or at least not as much as usual. Meanwhile, Angel has it’s own “Tabula Rasa” episode with “Spin the Bottle” but this time, a ...

Selfless/Supersymmetry from 2019-10-07T07:00

We’ve got a couple retcon episodes this week, as Buffy tries to answer the question, Who is Anya when she isn’t with Xander? She has over 1100 years of history to try and answer that, but even so, ...

Help/Slouching Toward Bethlehem from 2019-09-30T07:00

We didn’t really like Angel this week, but it happened, so we talked about it. Wesley and Lila continue to be a better show. On Buffy, the slayer’s first week as school counselor gets off to a roug...

Same Time, Same Place/The House Always Wins from 2019-09-23T07:00

This week, we must correctly define a parasite, as we confront maybe the grossest demon in the Buffyverse? Yes? And, as Willow returns to Sunnydale, the show and her friends both refuse to just le...

Beneath You/Ground State from 2019-09-16T07:00

This week, we have to again talk about the problematic corner the show has written Spike into, and how his treatment is different than the treatment of Anya. On Angel, Wesley continues his cool str...

Lessons/Deep Down from 2019-09-09T07:00

We’re going right back to the beginning and we’re going to learn about ourselves in the process! Welcome to Buffy Season 7 and Angel Season 4! We’re almost done with Buffy eps and we’re not crying,...

Grave/Tomorrow from 2019-07-22T07:00

It’s finale time this week, as we discuss “Grave” and “Tomorrow.” Willow is still on the rampage in Sunnyvale and even Giles can’t stop her, but maybe Xander can, with the power of wuv. We still di...

Two To Go/Benediction from 2019-07-15T07:00

This week, Willow is on the hunt for Jonathan and Andrew as Buffy and Xander desperately try to keep her from crossing further over the line by killing them. On Angel, Connor spends time with the t...

Villains/A New World from 2019-07-08T07:00

In “Villains,” the aftermath of Warren’s attack proves deadly, as Willow sets out for vengeance at any magical cost, and Buffy and Xander try to stop her (we admit we found it kind of cathartic wat...

Seeing Red/The Price from 2019-07-01T07:00

This week, we arrive at “Seeing Red” and it’s a big one. Ultimately, humans are going to be the most dangerous foe for Buffy and friends. Monsters may haunt Sunnyvale, but it’s guns that are the mo...

Entropy/Double Or Nothing from 2019-06-24T07:00

The Scoobies begin to descend into (more) disorder this week, as Anya’s quest for revenge on Xander leads to revelations about Buffy and Spike. On Angel, Cordelia returns and offers comfort to Ange...

Normal Again/Forgiving from 2019-06-17T07:00

Everything is normal again! Not so much, as a poison-addled Buffy must differentiate between two different realities. But, mostly, txt this be remembered as the episode where Buffy committed the un...

Hell's Bells/Sleep Tight from 2019-06-10T07:00

Hell’s Bells! Xander and Anya make it to their wedding day but not down the aisle, thanks to a plotting demon and Xander’s truly terrible family. On Angel, Wesley’s attempts to thwart prophecy have...

As You Were/Loyalty from 2019-06-03T07:00

This week, it’s the redemption of Riley Finn! He returns to Sunnydale for a mission with his cool new wife, causing Buffy to take a hard look at her life and decide what needs to change. On Angel,...

Older and Faraway/Couplet from 2019-05-29T19:25:24

This week, it’s another Buffy birthday episode! She really should have learned to stop trying to celebrate by now. But really, it’s Dawn who needs a celebration, as her feelings of neglect and lone...

Dead Things/Waiting in the Wings from 2019-05-12T07:00

It’s a heavy theme this week, as both Buffy and Angel grapple with the idea of consent as men try controlling women through magical means. In Sunnyvale, the Trio’s latest plans lead to murder, and ...

Doublemeat Palace/Provider from 2019-05-06T07:00

Is “Doublemeat Palace” a terrible episode of TV? Or is it just a weird episode of Buffy? Why is the tone so strange? Why is the pacing so slow? It’s got a horror movie vibe but something just doesn...

Gone/Birthday from 2019-04-29T07:00

This week, Buffy gets a haircut! That’s really what makes this episode memorable, right? Otherwise, we have to remember Buffy acting out of character and everyone basically being terrible, or the c...

Wrecked/Dad from 2019-04-22T07:00

This week, we can’t remember if Allie has ever seen either Aliens or the Aliens episode of Community, but we landed on “maybe.” In Buffy news, we get treated to an after school special on addictive...

Smashed/Lullaby from 2019-04-15T07:00

This week, we are talking about “Smashed” on Buffy, a.k.a. the one where Buffy and Spike smash a house. But we don’t have to talk about that. We can talk instead about how cartoonish the Trio seem ...

Tabula Rasa/Quickening from 2019-04-08T07:00

We start to confront the idea of Willow as villain this week, as she takes her use of magic to reckless levels in her attempts to keep Tara happy. Hilarity ensues, but also a reckoning for Tara on ...

Once More With Feeling/Offspring from 2019-04-01T07:00

We’re a little out of order this week, talking first about “Offspring” on Angel. Darla finally arrives in L.A. and tells Angel he’s going to be a father, and Holtz arrives in the 21st Century. And ...

All the Way/Billy from 2019-03-25T07:00

This week, we have to talk about Willow. But first, it’s Halloween in Sunnydale! Dawn proves why you should always just stay home and watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and Anya is thrille...

Life Serial/Fredless from 2019-03-11T07:00

Ginny’s finally excited to talk about both episodes this week! Is “Life Serial” a nuanced take on toxic masculinity? We think it’s accidental, but it works super well 18 years later! Also, Buffy’s ...

Flooded/Carpe Noctem from 2019-02-25T08:00

This week on Buffy, Giles puts Willow in her place, Buffy must confront adult responsibilities, and we meet a trio of nerds up to no good. Basically no one seems to be thinking things through very ...

After Life/That Old Gang of Mine from 2019-02-11T08:00

This week, we ask the important question for this season: “Am I going to hate Willow?” What we really mean is that, though this Buffy season as a whole tends to get a less than enthusiastic respons...

Bargaining, Part 2/That Vision Thing from 2019-01-28T08:00

This week, Buffy’s friends realize their spell worked, and Buffy has a rough transition from the grave back to life. In LA, Angel and his team must find out what is causing Cordelia’s visions to ma...

We talk about the premieres of Season 6 of Buffy and Season 3 of Angel. On both shows, our heroes are dealing with the death of Buffy. The Scoobies go in to dark magics in order to bring back their...

The Gift/There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb from 2018-12-17T08:00

It’s a long one this week, but it’s “The Gift” so we know you’ll forgive us! It’s a treasure trove of metaphors as Buffy makes the ultimate sacrifice and the show grows up. We also chat about getti...

The Weight of the World/Through the Looking Glass from 2018-12-10T08:00

The places are getting set for the finale, but we have timeline questions about Buffy, and Buffy’s reactions and fear in the face of Glory feel a little forced to us, but we are ready to see what i...

Spiral/Over The Rainbow from 2018-12-03T08:00

This week, we chat the joys of plane travel and Waco, TX, before getting into “Spiral” and “Over the Rainbow”. First up, we seriously question the Knights of Byzantium and whether they detract from...

Tough Love/Belonging from 2018-11-26T08:00

A lot happens on both shows this week! On Buffy, how much of a father figure is Giles supposed to be? Willow learns the wrong lessons from a fight, and then, Glory finds the wrong key, with bad con...

Intervention/Dead End from 2018-11-12T08:00

This week, what we did on our Buffy breaks and proper sun care! Meanwhile, Buffy deals with the question of whether she can be the slayer and still love, and we think the show is trying to retcon s...

Forever/Disharmony from 2018-10-29T07:00

This week, we’re so thrilled we loved Angel again! But first, Buffy and Dawn have to bury their mother and deal with the aftermath of Joyce’s death. We argue about whether Dawn is reacting like a g...

The Body/Epiphany from 2018-10-22T07:00

Ok it’s that episode. We spend 50 minutes watching our favorite characters deal with a death they couldn’t prevent or stop from happening. We’re wrecked but also really admiring a great episode of ...

I Was Made To Love You/Reprise from 2018-10-15T07:00

It’s the “boy builds sex robot” episode of Buffy that takes a bit of a different turn. Buffy learns to be ok with being single. And then there’s the ending we all knew was coming. Oof. On Angel, wh...

Crush/The Thin Dead Line from 2018-10-01T07:00

We mostly like this episode of Buffy this week, but we agree some of the plot points feel a little forced, especially when you tie in what’s been going on over in LA. That said, Drusilla and Spike ...

Blood Ties/Happy Anniversary from 2018-09-24T07:00

We’re fighting this week about acting choices but we do agree this is a huge episode for Dawn and Buffy and for us. Identity, relationships and reality are all on the table. Angel continues to disa...

Checkpoint/Blood Money from 2018-09-17T07:00

Glory is a great villain, but did she have to be a god? Is that at impactful as it was supposed to be? We judge the council for their methods and cheer Buff’s “I have the power” speech. On Angel th...

This week, we get a lighthearted breather on Buffy as Willow and Anya’s bickering sets a troll loose in Sunnydale. Elsewhere, Giles heads to England to consult the council about Glory and Buffy pro...

Into The Woods/Reunion from 2018-08-27T07:00

We’ve been clear about the treatment of Riley’s character this season, but it all comes to a head this week, and we…have thoughts. But even if Buffy and Riley are making us angry, Anya and Xander a...

Listening To Fear/The Trial from 2018-08-20T07:00

We have a lot to say this week about heroes and responsibility, as Buffy and Angel demonstrate the dos and don’ts of sacrifice. Buffy is starting to realize the reality of being Dawn’s sister as Jo...

This week, Buffy learns that her life can be turned upside down by non-supernatural forces, as she struggles to cope with her mother's illness. She shuts Riley out in the process and his reaction i...

Fool For Love/Darla from 2018-08-06T07:00

It's Spike's episode this week as he tells Buffy how he killed two slayers, and we learn his history through flashbacks. He gets more Psych 101 with Buffy than she probably expected, but we learn a...

Family/Guise Will Be Guise from 2018-07-30T07:00

We hope you are ready for a discussion of the early filmography of Amy Adams! We’re enjoying the little breather this week before we get heavy into the flashbacks next week, with “Family” on Buffy ...

We finally meet Dawn this week, and find out all about Buffy’s little sister, who has definitely been here this whole time, totally, don’t you remember? Over in LA, the team confronts a demon from ...

Buffy vs. Dracula/Judgement from 2018-06-25T07:00

We’re back for Season 5! Aka the start of the era of golden haired, adult Buffy. Dracula is in Sunnydale and everyone is a little too cool with it until they’re not. Meanwhile, over in L.A., Angel ...

Restless/To Shanshu in L.A. from 2018-06-11T07:00

We talk weird dreams and repeat dreams this week, as the Scoobies find themselves stalked by the first slayer in their sleep. It’s the odd duck of Buffy finales, but also the dividing line between ...

Primeval/Blind Date from 2018-06-04T07:00

We talk dated Matrix references this week in both “Primeval” and “Blind Date”, and whether there are any good reasons to keep Spike around, and we strongly disagree on the success of Buffy’s showdo...

The Yoko Factor/War Zone from 2018-05-21T07:00

We disagree on “The Yoko Factor” but we do agree that drunk Giles is forever amazing and that the episode undoes last week’s amazing ending of “Sanctuary”. Elsewhere, feminist hero Spike sets the r...

Doomed/Somnambulist from 2018-03-19T07:00

This week, Buffy is at her melodramatic worst, and we are over it. As for the Hellmouth Apocalypse, whatever, the Zeppo did it better. On Angel, Kate is back, which is annoying, but hey! Jeremy Ren...

Hush/Parting Gifts from 2018-03-12T07:00

Is “Hush” a perfect episode of TV? Does that even exist? That’s right, It’s the “Hush” episode! Also, we watch an episode of Angel, but first the Gentlemen are here to cut our hearts out and clap p...
