The creepiest Angel episode yet, which is what makes it also the best so far... or does it? The Buffy Straya gang is unsure as they continue to navigate these early episodes of Angel - the cop show that is now finally beginning to feature an actual cop in it. This week's name that minor character may or may not have already been featured in the main Buffy podcast, but who can remember that sort of detail (please let us know).

The Buffy Straya gang talk at length about probably one of the most unique season finales in television history, and definitely one of the best dream representations ever done. This is not a short podcast episode, but perhaps something to tide you over the cold winter (or the desperately hot summer if you're down under like us).

The Buffy Straya gang has nothing but good things to say about being flung 'Into the Jonathan-Verse' and nothing but bad things to say about Adam (as usual). Fortunately there was a lot more Jonathan than Adam in this episode. Chris had no idea what was happening but came out with a newfound respect and admiration for Jonathan. As usual, Megan had a couple of runner-ups for 'Name that Minor Character' especially when an old one reappears by surprise!

Going through the first episode of two parts, the Buffy Straya gang is delighted to have Faith back (along with some other favourites, contractually obliged or otherwise). She is a breath of fresh air and so is this episode. Megan is too busy educating everyone on some very specific Australian military slang that she nearly misses this week's Name That Minor Character moment. The whole gang nearly missed another very important moment of the episode, but they thankfully catch it as you can hear by their very audible gasps...

As usual we had a slightly longer hiatus than planned but we are back with Season 4, episode 14: Goodbye Iowa.
Once again Chris brings fresh perspective with his first watch eyes, Mabel has a Billie Eilish song playing in her head every time Adam is on screen, and Megan was till waiting for the episode to start 15 minutes in!
2023-12-041h 15Buffy the Vampire StrayaThe I in TeamSeason 4, episode 13: The I in Team. The Buffy Straya gang unanimously agree that this is the worst season 4 episode so far, but fortunately looking ahead there are still some gems to look forward to. This is basically an hour of Megan, Mabel, and Chris cringing at everything bad about the episode, and struggling to find quality quotes and wins. After laying into her performance, the unsurprising Name that Minor Character's history turns out to be very surprising and has the gang changing their tune a bit.

Season 4, episode 12: New Man. Megan cannot Maths this episode and Chris hopes this quality of Buffy can last forever – but
as Mabel points out this is one of the least rated seasons! Looks like there’s more good eps here then people give it credit for!
Megan also devastates Chris with a major spoiler on the future of Ethan Rayne.. and it’s all Name That Minor Character’s fault. This episode our listeners get to peek behind the curtain as the team discuss whether or not to edit things out… and then don't!

Season 4, episode 11: Doomed. The Buffy Straya gang rejoin Riley and Buffy right where they left things at the end of Hush, and Megan and Chris happily align themselves with #teamriley, though Megan gets a little too enthusiastic and potentially turns Chris off him. Mabel makes the profound observation that the Hellmouth is actually surprisingly similar to a hymen. A few holes a poked into the plot as usual, but this time we get a bit of behind the scenes insight into why the writers may have missed some details. Clearly the writing is still quite strong since Megan snuck...
2023-05-1458 minBuffy the Vampire StrayaHushSeason 4, episode 10: Hush. The Buffy Straya gang enjoyed another Buffy MVP episode –
so much that they talked about it for an hour and a half! Megan creates a fanfic
backstory for the Gentlemen and shares details of her own creepy childhood
nightmares. We get our longest Name That Minor Character segment ever, and it
is well deserved. Shout out Doug Jones – Chris is your biggest fan! And Mabel
rightly awards Hush the newly created, but highly coveted Buffy Straya make-up award.

The Buffy Straya gang meet up in person for the first time in YEARS for a special group watch and in person recording session.

The Buffy Straya gang throw all restraint to the wind in this very quotable episode and basically do everything but recite the whole script verbatim. Everyone agrees the episode is great, but Chris's slightly milder reaction suggests this one might be EVEN better on the rewatch. The extra CGI in the episode doesn't do the HD version any favours and Mabel is extra thankful to be the only one in the gang still on the DVDs.

Chris almost had to take the lead in this one since he was noticing scenes (and even hairstyles!) better than Megan and Mabel, who both guiltily admitted they were a little checked out when watching the episode. It may have been a bit of a slow burn for those two rewatching the episode for the zillionth time, but the whole Buffy Straya gang came together to thoroughly enjoy the second half of the episode where it all starts to come together.

2022-01-231h 01Buffy the Vampire StrayaHelplessSeason 3, Episode 12 Helpless. The Buffy Straya gang bond over what they can all agree is a great episode. Chris struggles to identify the mysterious green liquid that Oz consumes at the start of the episode. The bad guy (or arguably the bad guy's weapon) looks terribly familiar to everyone, especially to Mabel, and thankfully Megan clears up why during 'Name that Minor Character'. The gang rush to wrap up this week's episode within a short timeframe but manage to squeeze everything in including a very time efficient Megan Moment.

Fortunately they all come together to agree that Sarah Michelle Gellar's fringe wasn't on anyone's wishlist. Megan manages to blow both Mabel AND Chris's mind with a fun fact about future seasons while cleverly avoiding any spoilers for Chris.

The Buffy Straya gang marvels at the industrial ingenuity of The Master and his blood factory, although they agree that the execution of his vision was unfortunately inefficient as far as automation goes. Chris and Mabel disagree about the quality of alternate-Buffy's face scar, and Megan struggles to keep the conversation on track as Mabel insists on jumping back and forth all over the episode. Through the discussion Megan astutely draws profound connections between the theme of the episode and how it relates to Faith's storyline and absence in this episode.
2021-11-221h 11Buffy the Vampire StrayaLover's WalkSeason 3, Episode 8 Lover's Walk. After a slight organisational mishap, the Buffy Straya gang get together to re-record this episode one year after the first version, and after having already recorded the next episode. Fortunately, this is an episode they're more than happy to re-watch over and over, because there's no such thing as too much Spike! Chris gets his first taste of a Buffy episode the second time around, and Mabel and Megan continue to question their previous Bangel alliance. But seriously, can someone please explain to us dumb Australians how the SATs work?

Mabel works hard to get Megan to finally give Faith some well earned sympathy as the gang continues to practice having respectful conversations despite having vastly different opinions.

There aren't many rants about this well-loved episode, and Chris declares this is his new favourite ep so far. Aside from the unnecessary contractual David Boreanaz appearances written into the episode, and the unfortunate romantic storyline we can't bring ourselves to talk about anymore, we all agree this episode brings us extreme joy and classic unadulterated Buffy vibes.

2021-09-2658 minBuffy the Vampire StrayaHomecomingSeason 3, Episode 5 Homecoming. The gang start out with an enthusiastic consensus that this is a brilliant episode all round, yet somehow still end up in extremely lengthy discussions about all the things that are terrible and/or make no sense. Just another classic day in the office for the Buffy Straya gang. Mabel makes an unlikely comparison to Dude Where's My Car that no one relates to, but is quickly vindicated by an on-the-spot Google image search. Chris is relieved that Megan has finally come around to some Faith appreciation.

2021-09-131h 19Buffy the Vampire StrayaBeauty and the BeastsSeason 3, Episode 4 Beauty and the Beasts. The Buffy Straya gang is in full agreement that this is a great episode and that Oz is a Scooby Gang treasure. Chris is grateful that Megan has recently been binge watching Scrubs which informed her favourite minor character, no one has much love for Scott Hope (or rather "Scott Hopeless" as Mabel calls him), and Megan expectedly drools over shirtless Angel a few times. Prepare for a fully justified Megan rant at how the episode addressed some sensitive topics.

But One thing we all agree on - Mr Trick rocks! In a complete about-turn from last episode, this week everyone struggled to find even one quote as their favourite but they still found plenty to talk about.

Chris finally gets his previously on to catch him up to speed on where our favourite characters are at and Mabel and Megan struggle not to quote every line! We rework some plot points with the help of everybody's favourite Jim Carrey movie, the Mask (thankfully Chris had recently done a rewatch) and Chris and Megan disagree over the value of Stoner Guy #1. Full disclosure - Megan is a dolt and didn't have the right mic set up so her audio is not as good as the others! sorry everybody!

With such a long time between drinks, Chris needs a few catch up moments to remind him where we left off in Season 2, Megan has switched to watching in HD on a streaming service which has definitely changed the experience and Mabel unintentionally takes on Megan's usual role of quoting all the good lines! The team revel in the many iconic Buffy moments on display in this episode. It's good to be back!

Part two of the season finale starts off in tears after having just finished watching the last episode of season 2 together. Chris, Mabel, and Megan can't help but question the integrity of Sunnydale police force. As usual, there's no shortage of criticism for Xander even in the season finale. Megan tries to fight off her tears as she recalls the episode, but ultimately fails and has one of her signature heartfelt "Megan Moments".

Chris sides with one of Xander's controversial opinions and predictably gets verbally attacked by Megan and Mabel for it. All three really struggle to redeem the many accents attempted in the show.

Megan once again gives in to the pressure and goes for a double "Name That Minor Character" for the second episode in a row! Chris continues to compare everyone and everything to the brilliant character actor John Ritter, and to his disappointment, nothing quite seems to measure up.

Chris, Mabel and Megan delight in the devilishly scary monster of this week, but can't agree on the quality of storytelling with Buffy's tacked on dead cousin B story. Stay tuned at the end for this week's blooper where Megan highlights her very clear lack of video game knowledge!
