Revamped: A Rewatch Podcast

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 4 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 16: “𝑾𝑯𝑶 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼?”After Faith uses the Mayor’s gift to swap her and Buffy’s bodies, she gets to live out the life she’s always envied. But as Faith begins to experience what it means to be Buffy, she finds herself increasingly uncomfortable in a life she thought she wanted. Meanwhile, Buffy, captured by the Watchers Council, attempts to escape and reclaim her own identity.This week, we’re tackling Part 2 of the body-swap arc and getting into just how WRONG it is for Faith to violate Buffy in one of the worst ways possible. We return to the themes of autonomy and assault, and how Faith truly embodies her own twisted mantra: WANT, TAKE, HAVE. We unpack the layers of Faith manipulating everyone around her and what this experience means for Buffy and the trauma shes undergoing. Courtney shares her current thoughts & viewpoint on Faith, we finally get to talk about the budding relationship between Willow and Tara, and Brandon gets to discuss one of his favorite Faith defining moments, as cringe-inducing as it is, but how shes finally beginning to see the person she’s become. You can as always explore the world left behind with Courtney’s on her podcast "Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration podcast" where she documents her own explorations and interviews fellow adventurers for a deep dive into the world of Urbex. Also featuring segments that go beyond the abandoned, uncovering true crime and paranormal stories lingering within the forgotten places she’s discovered. Available wherever you get your pods!
