Join us for the confounding conclusion to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “What’s My Line?” saga, where Angel loses his shirt, Xander and Cordelia get a room, Drusilla gets her groove back… and Oz and Willow finally get to have some scenes together!

Inquiring minds can find the answers to these question in this week’s Major Slayage. (We also take a moment to honor our sweet, sweet puppy, Ethel, who passed away last week. We love you, baby girl, and we’ll miss you forever. Rest in peace.) Major Slayage: Ket & Arik Rewarct Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

We’ve hit a bit of a rough patch with this episode of Buffy. It’s not terrible, it’s just kind of… meh. Everyone seems tired. And cranky. Buffy has an identity crisis, Spike and Drusilla sit around the house, and a new slayer has entered the chat! • Should this two-parter have been condensed to one episode? • Will Oz and Willow ever get to be in an actual scene together? • Would you make out with bumpy-faced David Boreanaz? You won’t need a key to decode the answers to these questions – just check out this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11 “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” Review & Recap! In Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 11, (which turned out to be one of our favorite episodes of the season), Harmony takes up tumbling… Xander is still too scared to ride his skateboard, but carries it around like a prop… And we get the origin story for Veep’s Secret Service Agent Marjorie Palmiotti! Are Prom Queen and May Queen the same thing? When is prom? Is it prom? We’ll get nowhere near answering any of these questions on this week’s Major Slayage!

| Buffy S1E10 "Nightmares" Review, Recap & Roast! | 02 Jun 2025 | 01:05:33 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 10 “Nightmares” – Review, Recap & Roast! Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E10 “Nightmares” was something of a slog to get through. We know dreams don’t always make sense, but television shows should! Listen, not all nightmares are created Equal – Buffy being buried alive and turned into a Vampire is NOTHING compared to Cordelia’s frizzy hair and Willow’s stage fright! And move over, Anointed One, there’s a new creepy crap bag kid in town: (not) Joseph Gordon-Levitt… and Sunnydale ain’t big enough for the both of ya! Ketryn & Arik are the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, respectively, of Tangent Town as they talk about ANYTHING to avoid discussing this lackluster Buffy episode on this week’s Major Slayage!

| Buffy S1E9 "The Puppet Show" Review & Recap | 26 May 2025 | 01:04:43 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 9 “The Puppet Show” Review & Recap! This week’s entry, Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E9 “The Puppet Show,” was set up to be a goofy one, but we kind of loved it! The Scooby Gang faces off against a Wizard of Oz themed serial killer, Cordelia’s delusion reaches new heights, and – most shockingly – Sunnydale does appear to have a police force, after all! Will Giles be able to keep his job? Will Ketryn take comfort in the fact that Arik is incapable of sneaking up on her? Can Ket & Arik’s marriage survive Arik’s shocking confession? The answers to these questions – and nothing else – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Join us as we sink our teeth into an episode that is a return to campy form for Buffy’s first season, BTVS S1E8 “I, Robot… You, Jane.” Willow discovers the joys of cybering, Xander proves himself useful for a change… and move over Cordeila, there’s a new hottie in town: Jenny – Miss Calendar if ya nasty! Will Ketryn heed Giles’s command to come? (Hint, yes she will!) Will Arik ever pick up his f*@king socks!? (Spoiler alert: never!) How many more Sunnydale High students have to die before they close this place down? (Our guess – too many!) Remember to phrase your responses in the form of a question on this week’s Major Slayage!

| Buffy S1E7 "Angel" Review & Recap | 12 May 2025 | 01:11:08 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 7 “Angel” Review & Recap! Come along as we take a bite out of our favorite episode so far this season, BTVS S1E7 “Angel.” Darla gets a promotion – and a demotion, Angel spends all day in Buffy’s room for no apparent reason, and Joyce might be trying to avoid Freddy Krueger. Did Robert Rodriguez direct episodes of Buffy under a pseudonym? Does Arik have what it takes to be an all-ages stand up comic? Who is on Ketryn’s kill list? The answers to these questions – probably – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 6 “The Pack” Review & Recap! It’s a KKSAM FAM JAMBOREE as we are joined by the hilarious Kim Burns, Ketryn’s co-host on Kim & Ket Stay Alive… Maybe! The three of us attempt to make sense of a Buffy episode that has been hailed as everything from “skippable” to “fun bad.” Why is evil Xander so hot? Why is Jim from FROM so cringe? Why is Mr. Belding such a creep? The answers to these questions – and so many more – on this week’s Major Slayage!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 5 “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” Review & Recap! Join us as we sink our teeth into Buffy the Vampire Slayer S1E5 “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date.” (If only the episode was as interesting as the title.) Buffy meets a hunky poetry fan and wants to get up close and personal with his “bookworm,” Cordelia gets handsy at the disco, and Ketryn ships a new romantic couple. Why is the annoying Jesus freak yelling, “pork and beans?” Why do vamps’ clothes turn to dust, but not their jewelry? How many more concussions can Giles sustain before he straight up dies?

| Ripper Returns! Buffy S2E8 "The Dark Age" Recap & Review | 11 Aug 2025 | 01:04:04 | |
Things are getting real in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 8 “The Dark Age” – real dark! This is one of our favorite episodes of the season, wherein Jenny plans a “D” appointment, Cordelia gets her kicks… and for Ethan Rayne, every room is an escape room!
Why are Buffy’s shoes so loud? Who walks slower, Arik or Zombie Diedre? Would Ketryn rather play “Anywhere But Here” with Rupert… or Ripper?
The answers to these questions are sillier than you can possibly imagine on this week’s Major Slayage! For the full effect (including episode clips & visual gags) check this episode out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7K1ZHz02_vk

| Buffy S2E7 "Lie To Me" Review & Recap | 04 Aug 2025 | 01:07:12 | |
The truth hurts in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 7 “Lie To Me,” where Jenny tries to win the award for most random second date, Willow wears more makeup to bed than she wears to school, and we learn that vampire LARPing is even dorkier than it sounds. Who names their kid after a mushroom? How much does Ketryn loathe Tom Brady? Could Arik’s punch-ups have turned this good episode into a great episode?

| Buffy S2E6 "Halloween" Review & Recap (featuring Kim Burns!) | 28 Jul 2025 | 01:16:22 | |
We are joined again by the hilarious Kim Burns (Ket’s co-host on KIM & KET STAY ALIVE… MAYBE) as we sink our teeth into Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 6 “Halloween.” This week, Angel wears what appear to be hand-me-downs, Buffy wears the wrong color, and Willow wears… well, we’re not exactly sure what Willow’s dressed as. Now that we know Giles can kick some ass, why is he always so useless in a fight? Why doesn’t Drusilla move her lips? Which of Kim & Ket’s slutty Halloween costumes would have been most useful under Ethan’s chaos spell? The answers to these questions are far too scary to reveal here, but you can find them on this week’s Major Slayage!

We’re back on track, baby! After a brief detour to turd town last week, Buffy the Vampire Slayer returns to Season 2 form with this dark, resonate episode, wherein Cordelia social climbs, Buffy lies to Giles, and Xander gets all the the downsides of hazing without any of the benefits.

| Buffy S2E4 "Inca Mummy Girl" Review & Recap | 14 Jul 2025 | 01:08:48 | |
After a strong start to Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2, we hit our first speedbump. This episode might be the weakest in the series so far. The Scoobies feel like they’ve been replaced by pod people, and everything just feels “off.” Xander reverts to his Season One antics, Cordelia seems to be suffering from some kind of head trauma, and (in what passes for a “bright spot” in this dismal affair) we meet a new fan favorite character… though you’d never be able to tell from how he’s introduced. Do they have Twinkies in Peru? Did Arik cross an unforgivable boundary in Ketyn’s bathroom? Did Tommy Wiseau write and direct this episode? The answers to these questions are better left alone on this week’s Major Slayage!

| Buffy S2E3 "School Hard" Review & Recap | 07 Jul 2025 | 01:12:42 | |
School, it turns out, is difficult for Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Season 2 Episode 3 “School Hard,” wherein Angel gets curious about playing for both teams, Spike shows up way earlier than Arik remembered, and Baby Steve Jobs is the victim of a hostile takeover. How did Drusilla move all her dolls... and a giant four poster bed!? Has Ketryn gone mad with power as the presiding judge of Buffy Court? Why are we recording so early?

| BUFFY S3E1 "Anne" Review & Recap | 24 Nov 2025 | 01:08:44 | |
Buffy's third season kicks things off with a banger episode! The stakes (and production budgets) are higher, the fights are world-class, all the guest stars act their asses off... if this premiere episode is any indication, season three is gonna be one hell of a ride!

| Buffy S2E14 "Innocence" Review & Recap! | 22 Sep 2025 | 01:03:41 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 14 “Innocence” is an emotional powerhouse of an episode. We didn’t remember this show getting THIS good THIS early, but here we are! Ketryn cried, and Arik had to dissociate at times just to get survive it. Giles and Jenny ‘s SECOND honeymoon phase comes to a rocky end, Buffy wishes she had a do-over, and we finally meet Season Two’s “Big Bad!” Why is Oz just the best guy? Why is the Judge always so chilly? Why are the gaslighting and emotional abuse in this episode so realistically written?
If only there was some way to glean these answers... Oh, that’s right – there is! Just check out this week’s Major Slayage!

This week, Joyce’s picker might be as bad as Xander’s, Willow gets her science on, and Giles and Jenny bury the hatchet. What are Ketryn’s rules for acceptable colors of tights?

Willow is dating some brand new character we’ve never met before, the vamps get a new statue for their mansion… and has Kendra’s accent actually gotten better, or does it just seem better when compared to another laughably terrible accent in this episode?

| BUFFY S2E20 "Go Fish" Review & Recap! | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:55:04 | |
The best way we can sum this one up is: Hook, Line, and STINKER! This filler episode (or should we say "fillet" episode! hey-o!) never quite reeled us in. A lot of tone deaf joking about SA, and underwhelming fights, and a general lack of urgency & danger made this one feel a little fishy. Oz has apparently been written off the show at this point, Buffy and Angel don't even acknowledge their last emotionally devastating encounter, and everyone feels bored now — but not in the fun, sociopathic, skinning-a-villain-alive sort of way. With only two more episodes left this season, it's baffling they chose to put this dead fish story so close to the climax. On the plus side: Xander in a Speedo, Wentworth Miller, Buffy gets to beat up a would-be grapist. Join us as we break it all down on this week's Major Slayage!

| BUFFY S2E19 "I Only Have Eyes For You" Review & Recap! | 27 Oct 2025 | 01:02:27 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 19 “I Only Have Eyes For You” is a strange one — there is little evidence from their scenes that Xander and Cordy are dating (Xander asking Buffy if she has visions about him "knowing the love of a woman"!?), and the complete lack of Oz is starting to get distracting. But... what started out as a lightweight, monster-of-the-week episode with an uneven tone (imagine an episode of Goosebumps that happened to include disturbing gun violence and self-unaliving... as well as an O.J. Simpson joke!!!) wound up being one of the most moving, brilliantly written episodes of the season. Did NOT see that coming! Join us as we break it all down on this week's Major Slayage!

| BUFFY S2E18 "Killed By Death" Review & Recap! | 20 Oct 2025 | 00:56:06 | |
Ironically, this filler episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer wasn't very filling. While we were grateful for a break from the emotional devastation of last week's episode, this Monster-of-the-Week installment (featuring a Temu version of Freddy Krueger) lacked a lot of the charm we've come to expect from Season 2 of Buffy. On the plus side, though, we get a lot of well-lit face shots of David Boreanaz's stunt double! Join us as we break it all down on this week's Major Slayage!

| BUFFY S2E17 "Passion" Review & Recap! | 13 Oct 2025 | 01:21:29 | |
Buffy Season Two keeps doling out the heartbreak in episode 17 "Passion." We agree on the brilliant plotting and emotional devastation of this one. We are divided on Angel's slam poetry. Had to do something a little different for this episode — our first virtual recording with us not in the same room! Arik is in Wrexham, Wales, and Ketryn is in her Apothecary (about 20 steps from our usual set) in Glendale, California. But no mere ocean can disrupt our chemistry!

| Buffy S2E16 "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" Review & Recap! | 06 Oct 2025 | 01:05:04 | |
Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E16 “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” encapsulates so much of what the series is: brilliant storytelling, memorable performances, quippy, stylized dialogue, great fights, thematic depth… but at the same time, toxic masculinity and entitlement played for laughs (and met with zero consequences) and perspectives that have NOT aged well.
Cordy dumps Xander on Valetine’s Day and – in true Xander form – he makes it everyone else’s problem, Amy’s gone into the family business, and Spike and Angel get glam makeovers.
We’d say more, but we don’t want to spoil the fun!

| Buffy S2E15 "Phases" Review & Recap! | 29 Sep 2025 | 01:08:05 | |
We definitely needed mild, silly, monster-of-the-week episode to recover from last week's emotional roller coaster, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 2 Episode 15 "Phases" was... a mixed bag.
The "good": • The exploration of the theme of duality, and the culpability of the human for the actions of the monster they become. • Willow & Oz's chemistry.
The "less-so": • The ham-fisted faux-feminist "hot takes" that want to sound profound without having anything to say. • Reducing Willow to a verbal tick that gets run into the ground, dialogue-wise. • That wolf costume (yikes!) • Some of the lamest fight scenes we've had on the show so far.
We'll break it all down for you on this week's Major Slayage!
