We 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 G...
Bunheads 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 ...
Our 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...
Bunheads Episode 15 "Take the Vicuna"/Bunheads Episode 16 "There's Nothing Worse Than a Pantsuit"Witness the drama unfold as boyfriends *gasp* try to sit with their girlfriends at lunch, and Michelle and her brother... don't go to Burning Man? 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 b...
Firefly Episode 14 "Objects in Space"/Bunheads Episode 14 "The Astronaut and the Ballerina"This week's Firefly introduces a man by the name of Early: a complex, interesting, possibly mad character that we'd love to see more of. 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, Mel...
Bunheads Episode 13 "I'll Be Your Meyer Lansky"/Firefly Episode 13 "Heart of Gold"Fanny and Michelle take steps to better utilize their land, while Inara enlists the Serenity crew to help an old friend defend her brothel. 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 boob...
Firefly Episode 12 "The Message"/Bunheads Episode 12 "Channing Tatum Is a Fine Actor"Just when we thought Amy was out of things to borrow from Joss, she went ahead and borrowed beans. 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 Jo...
Bunheads Episode 11 "You Wanna See Something?"/Firefly Episode 11 "Trash"This week both Sasha and YoSafBridge are hiding romances and being smuggled around as contraband, having recently reappeared after doing other gigs. 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 i...
Firefly Episode 10 "War Stories"/Bunheads Episode 10 "A Nutcracker in Paradise"Michelle tortures a room full of people completely by accident, while Malcom gets tortured by a creepy old man who's just super into torture. 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 Br...
Bunheads Episode 9 "No One Takes Khaleesi's Dragons"/Firefly Episode 9 "Ariel"While our Firefly friends do a heist to steel drugs from the rich, Michelle elaborately lies to the town, so she can have some grocery store coffee. 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...
Firefly Episode 8 "Out of Gas"/Bunheads Episode 8 "Blank Up, It's Time"Malcom disparately needs to find a part in order to save his crew. 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 th...
Bunheads Episode 7 "What's Your Damage, Heather?"/Firefly Episode 7 "Jaynestown"One's a familiar face from Jayne's past, back for revenge. 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...
Firefly Episode 6 "Our Mrs. Reynolds"/Bunheads Episode 6 "Movie Truck"One's a trained companion gone rouge, and one's a dress shop owner who hosts a book club at her out-of-town friend's house, but both of these ladies are trying to be someone else today. 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 we...
Bunheads Episode 5 "Money for Nothing"/Firefly Episode 5 "Safe"This week the bunheads AND River get to express themselves through dance, at least until the forces of evil enter. 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 notab...
Firefly Episode 4 "Shindig"/Bunheads Episode 4 "Better Luck Next Year"Both Malcom and Sasha have been a bit snotty lately, so they offer Kaylee/Boo a dress/pointe shoes in hopes of winning back their friendship. 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? (Hey, it's not ...
Bunheads Episode 3 "Inherit the Wind"/Firefly Episode 3 "Bushwhacked"Uh oh! Our lead characters have gone and gotten themselves arrested for being somewhere they shouldn't be. 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 ...
Firefly Episode 2 "The Train Job"/Bunheads Episode 2 "For Fanny"Lots of similarities this week including one very obvious one. 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 hai...
Bunheads Episode 1 "Pilot"/Firefly Episode 1 "Serenity"We started two new shows that were cancelled too soon, created by the same people as the other shows we used to talk about, and boy do they both loooove to reuse actors. 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...
Our last Gilmore Girls episode was getting a little long, so we decided to record another one to wrap some of our lingering Gilmore thoughts. 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 h...
Well 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 le...
