Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast
Podcastica
Fréquence : 1 épisode/12j. Total Éps: 49

Why revisit the Buffy-verse?
We think the show Still Slays. Buffy is both iconoclast and icon. 25 years ago she broke new ground for women characters as superheroes and women as people by subverting tropes, using kindness as strength and love as power. The cheeky vibe of the show provides a campy canvas for exploring some deep themes about trauma, societal ills and human nature all while delivering its signature witty dialogue. BTVS remains relevant and held in high critical regard 25 years later.
For first time watchers of the series we try to avoid too many spoilers until the end of the podcast so it’s easy to skip. You can be a part of the discussion: Send us a text or voice message at stillslayingfeedback@gmail.com or comment at facebook.com/groups/podcastica and we'll respond on the air.

38: “The Freshman” (BTVS S4E1)
mercredi 18 décembre 2024 • Durée 02:01:39
“I’m nice to meet.”
The Scooby Duo are back and happy to be diving into the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with “The Freshman.”
We accompany Buffy through her first few days at UC Sunnydale, buying overpriced textbooks, signing up for classes, being intimidated by mean professors and annoyed by a perky roommate, and Sunday. Penny and Kara are back to their tangents like not a day has passed, including: use of cell phones in movie theaters, M. Night Shyamalan, doping in baseball, antitrust law, political subject matter, Wicked, Pedro Pascal, college life, posters, vampire logistics, and audience psychology.
Next time, we’ll be covering Angel, Season 1, Episode 1, “City of…”
