Sunnydale Nation: A Buffy Rewatch Podcast

This week we are wrapping up the entire show as a whole and bidding a fond farewell to The X-Files! We’re talking our favorite Mulder episode, favorite Scully episode, favorite Skinner episode, favorite Lone Gunmen episode, favorite Doggett/Reyes-era episode, best comedy episode, best human monster, best creature, best practical effects, favorite MSR moment, favorite underrated episode, favorite writer, favorite director, 10 best (and worst) episodes, and more! We also have a March Madness-st...

This week we are discussing Evolution (2001) with special guests Courtney and Hannah from That Nostalgia Show! We’re talking the dubious educational value of the movie, the strangely stacked cast, the painful 2001-ness of it all, and debate the relatability of Julianne Moore’s character.

This week we are taking a look back at seasons 10 and 11 (whether we want to or not) for our revival series wrap-up episode! We rank the episodes, read some emails, and cast our own reboot series.

We celebrate the ride-or-die sister, tell Mulder he can’t just go for the hug after 16 years...

This week we are tracking down our sister in her organ-licking cult while we discuss “Nothing Lasts Forever”! We’re talking how much we don’t care for Juliet and her discount-Daredevil energy, how we want more of the random mountainous Swedish agent who got one minute of screen time, GOUT, that it would be better if Tara were leading this blender cult, and that church would be improved by some pepperoni communion. We debate whether we’re into Barbara or not, wish better things for Jere Burns,...
