This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re sinking our teeth into “The Pack” — the hyena-possession classic that is way better than people give it credit for. Whether this is an unpopular opinion or not… we’re proudly Team Pack.Between the eerie courtyard slow-mo prowl, Xander’s unsettling transformation (and very selective memory afterward), and the episode’s surprisingly dark turns, “The Pack” is early Buffy at its weirdest — and honestly, at its most compelling. We break down why the tone works, how the show uses this episode to test the boundaries of what a Monster-of-the-Week can do, and why this one sticks with you long after season one is over.We also talk Xander’s possession arc (and everything the show does and doesn’t say about it), Willow’s emotional honesty, and Buffy navigating yet another week of “why is my high school like this?” energy.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re talking “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date” — where Buffy tries to have one normal night out and, shocker, the Hellmouth says absolutely not.
