Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastA Crossover Movie Event!Guys, we’re back, and we brought some friends! Instead of comparing two shows, we joined forces with the hosts of another Buffy podcast, Boys Watching Buffy, to review a movie starring a Gilmore Girl: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. We chat all about the sometimes cringe, yet surprisingly emotional summer adventures of Carmen, Lena, Bridget, Tibby(!?), and their shared, dirty, pair of regular-looking, yet magical pants. Whether you’ve seen this movie or not, whether you liked it or didn’t, we’re pretty sure we can all agree that one dad really sucks. Enjoy!P.S. Our...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastWe've Been Busy, But We're Still Here!Happy early American Thanksgiving! It's been a couple months since we released our last episode, so we wanted to let you know what we've been up to. We catch you up on everything we've been watching. We share some highlights from our recent trip to the Pacific Northwest including a few brushes with danger. We share a bit about our trip to Connecticut to host the Gilmore Girls cast panel. Plus we've got some updates about where we're at with our next phase of content, including a wild pitch for a potential podcast. And you won't believe what Bryan's...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastFirebuns Wrap-upWe did it! We watched and compared Joss and Amy's other two shows. They didn't have quite as much in common as Buffy and Gilmore, but they are both about ragtag groups of people who become each other's found family, led by reluctant heroes. Also both shows feature young, thin, petite girls who can do impressive stuff with their bodies. Oh, and Mitchum! We discuss what worked about the shows, what didn't, and where they maybe would have gone with more seasons. Plus we do an accidental ad for Gain detergent! We will be taking a little break, but...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastBunheads Final Four: Part 2Bunheads Episode 17 "It's Not a Mint"/Bunheads Episode 18 "Next!"Welp, that's a wrap on Bunheads... did not expect it to end in the middle of a sex ed lesson, but at least we got a cool final dance. We begin with a Bracebridge-esque, town-hunkering-down-together episode, featuring Sean Gunn as basically Kirk. Then we watch as Michelle tries to balance her goals of achieving stardom with her growing pile of sex questions from her students. We do get some nice relationship-mending moments, and some final hilarious bits from some of the silliest side characters. Plus we share some...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastSerenityOur discussion on the conclusion to the Firefly series: "Serenity"This week we catch up with the crew of Serenity in their feature film! Fortunately, this little show was blessed with the chance to tie up some loose ends. It ties up some of the, arguably, most interesting ends, however, we do wish they had a bit more time to focus on certain characters. We get cameos from a couple famous actors, and a visitor from Joss's sex bot closet. Shepherd Book still doesn't give us any of his backstory, but does teach us a thing or...

You thought Michelle's brother was bad? Wait till you meet their mom! Sasha's new apartment has everyone in a tizzy. Fanny makes a deal with Milly, after Milly pulls some real Paris sh*t. We were super excited to see Sal again, but for us, he's lost a bit of that somehow not creepy, butt-identifier charm. Michelle's having a...

Unfortunately this was the last episode... Meanwhile, Bunhead Ginny is driven to madness by some parental drama. AND... coincidentally, (or maybe not? AMY!?) Early and Ginny both process a reveal concerning violence towards dogs!? While Early lurks on the Serenity, Melanie lurks on some roller derby practices. Michelle cosplays as early Season 1 Lorelai, while Kaylee cosplays as ole feet-on-the-lap Rory. Oh...

Both episodes feature characters being forced to the ground, as well as villainous characters who are passionate about theater and getting what they want. We find out that neither Michelle nor Inara's friend finished school. It's hard to say which location features more boobs: the brothel or Charlie's bedroom. Both episodes end with a woman deciding to leave someone she loves...

Not only that, but both shows also feature fake moustaches, stupid hats, a new mysterious guy starting a flirtation with a main character, and men with classically female names. We're willing to concede this is more of a coincidence than something borrowed, but both episodes also happen to feature actors that Joss and Amy love to use in all their shows. And we got a new...

We're introduced to the old lovers of YoSafBridge and Talia, old taking on more than one meaning here. Michelle as well as Simon and River are brought foil-wrapped food to eat in their little rooms. Both Jayne and Boo's mom both find themselves on bedrest whether they like it or not. And we actually have since figured out what Michelle pulled out of her bra. Have...

Michelle and Malcom are both caught in the middle of lovers who aren't communicating very well. Michael disappears partway through this episode, just like Malcom's right ear. We disagree about Fanny's ADORABLE outfit, but agree that henchmen outfits are pretty stupid. Plus Bryan tells a story about encounter with an older woman in our neighborhood, and we tell you about a special room...

Wash and Kaylee build an emergency vehicle out of junk, while Fanny attempts to cast a Nutcracker with inferior dancers. The usually graceful Ginny goes tumbling down the bleachers, much like all the rando space cops who fall to the ground after a glowstick attack. Both River and Michelle get a "gift" from their "sibling". Both episodes mention ducks for...

Meanwhile Boo receives a part completely out of the blue. We learn that Inara has almost as many rules as Fanny, and that some of both their rules have recently been broken. We learn that Zoë was initially not a fan of Wash, so perhaps there's hope for Boo to come around on Carl. Gadot is not in this episode of Bunheads, but a version of him showed up in this week's Firefly. S...

The other's a familiar face from our Gilmore Slayer past, back as a sh*tty plumber, and they both have one eye. Coincidence, Amy!?! It's hard to imagine which smells worse, Fanny's mildewy dressing room, or Jayne's muddy planet. Also which is more disgusting, mudder's milk or that fried food buffet the bunheads consumed. Neither Michelle nor the Magistrate's son feel like grownups, and later both Sasha and the Magistrate's son act out in a big way to...

Both must find a way to sneak into/out of vehicle, but opt not to do it by seducing women. Both episodes feature unusual outfits, one made of teddy bears and one made for a gun. Some of our favorite characters face serious challenges this week, but other very significant characters only pop in...

For River, evil is kidnappers; for the bunheads, it's grocery bags. Malcom negotiates a fair price for the cows he's been flying around, while Michelle negotiates her way into a teen hangout after she can't negotiate financial sense into Fanny. We meet more family members of both Simon and Rico, who've both made notable fashion choices. River almost gets burnt at the stake. Boo should probably burn her clothes...

Boo and Summer briefly change their identities in order to trick someone who could decide their fate. Inara has two men fighting over her on the dance floor, while Michelle struggles to find a man to do anything about her dance floor. Both episodes feature... catering?

Also both of them spend this episode acquiring property from the recently deceased and discovering strange men in the homes they invited themselves into. The Serenity crew discovers a bunch of dead bodies, which somehow have way less of a stench than the mac n' cheese Boo's mom made. Both Boo and Malcom are forced into being in front on their quests to get the bad boy, and Bryan shares his version...

We're treated to the same guest star in both episodes, playing two very different characters. There's also a smaller connection, in that Firefly's location of the week has a very similar name to the setting of Bunheads. We've got charcters who are feeling kind of useless, trying to figure out their next move. We've ladies in both episodes casually doing a friend's hair. Oh, and don't forget the implied dismemberment. Plus we had another recent movie-going experience ruined...

New shows mean new names for Bryan to learn, and you'll be unsurprised to find out he is NOT good at it. The similarities are slim so far, but we're sure Amy's buried some for us to find down the road. Both shows do feature people stuck together trying to figure out their next move, someone revealing a...

We discuss who we think Rory should end up with, including the completion of Bryan's teased thoughts on Jess and Rory. We break down the final four words and our feelings on the ending. We pitch some ideas for what the show might look like if they were to ever make more. Stacey reads some of Bryan's predictions from previous episodes, to see how close he was. And... we reveal what shows we'll be...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastBuffy Season 8: Part 4Well friends, we've reached the end of the Buffy Season 8 comics. They started off a little weird, then got so much weirder and more pornographic than we ever could have imagined. Buffy's straight-up a super hero now, though we're still not sure we understand why. You'll be happy to know, Giles' horses are still in the picture, though who has them might surprise you. Much like the last episode of A Year in the Life, a lot of old familiar faces show up. Joss writes everyone a little apology letter at the end, and Stacey tries out a bunch...

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls PodcastA Year in the Life: FallWe did it! We finished all of Gilmore Girls and recorded our longest episode ever! Probably our longest intro ever too, due to some neighbor drama and lingering thoughts about bidets. For as many issues as the revival series has, we really enjoyed this episode with its barrage of old characters and tear-jerking scenes. We do our best to figure out the meaning of whales and what the heck the show is trying to say about money. The final four words weren't quite what Byran predicted, but he did get some of them right. And we hope we didn't...

Harmony gets her own reality show, which somehow alters the status quo of the entire world. We meet a group of werewolves who are super afraid of knives. If you're a fan of the episode "Storyteller" you'll be happy to know the smoking jacket and camcorder make a comeback. And Giles befriends a baby!If...

Florence had both the best and worst food, including sandwiches made by sloths. We encountered a few scams involving roses, trains, and Colosseums. Wine is pretty much free, though it sometimes comes with a lil bit o' cough. And Stacey can't stop thinking about that man in the window...Here's the story...

However, money rules tend to defy logic in Rory's orbit. Emily slept iiin!? She's also dating, eating in the living room, and has absolutely no idea whats inside her puffs.

Our heroes travel the globe, and reunite with a very famous vampire from Season 5. Buffy travels through time to future New York City, where she's meets someone famous from the comics with a very interesting family connection. We then get a break from our regularly scheduled Season 8 comics to head back to Season 1. Now if you don't mind, we'd like to...

We take a trip back to Chilton where we get a whole lotta Headmaster, and liiiittle bit of the side of fake Tristan's face. It's hard to tell which is more impressive, how tall Paris' house is or how high she got her foot in the air. We loved to hate all that nonesense Sandy Says did with...

We're heading to Maine for the Gilmore Girls Fan Festival. One of use has a work trip, and we've finally booked our trip to Italy! Rather than put a big ole pause in the middle of Season 8, we've decided it will be best to start releasing episodes every other week for the next few months. This episode explains all that, plus we throw in a few little stories, such as our mysterious Italian B&B and Bryan's recent shopping cart incident. Thanks for being understanding!

Some things have changed a lot in the last 9 years, but mostly things are weirdly pretty much the same. Luke and Lorelai don't seem to have had any meaningful conversations since we last saw them, unless you count the time Luke said, "That's the kid." Of course we were excited to see a classic Gilmore kitchen fight. We were just shocked to see Rory's bare feet. Bryan's got a wild theory about Paul involving and Doyle/Johnathan. And...

We choose 10 favorite episodes from each show for a hypothetical weekend binge. Bryan can't believe Stacey didn't pick "Haunted Leg" but if you're counting, Bryan actually picked 11 Buffy episodes, so maybe she would have if she knew you could cheat. We make some final comparisons, realizing there's an interesting coloration regarding family. Somehow Charmed got an extra Season, so we finish reading its IMDb summaries. (Who the hell is Billie!?) But mostly just a lot of love for these two shows we're very grateful to have shared with each...

We shout some of you out, sharing some fun thoughts, theories, and trivia you've passed along lately, as well as share which series some of you thought was better.

Most would agree that neither show is at its best in Season 7, but we still enjoyed ourselves immensely! Despite these seasons not having all that many similarities, somehow our young heroines both end up, single, liberated, and off on a new adventure on a bus!
