Revamped: A Rewatch Podcast

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 12: “𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑺𝑺” For Buffy’s 18th birthday, what should be a milestone of celebration twists into terror when her Slayer powers begin to fade, leaving her exposed and vulnerable. Turning to Giles for answers, she learns he’s been secretly drugging her as part of an ancient Slayer rite of passage—a brutal test that pits her, powerless, against a deranged vampire in a fight for survival. This week we get to really feel scared! Hear our thoughts and Courtney’s genuine fear for Buffy’s life — from feeling completely unsettled by Kralik to questioning what’s going on with Giles. Keeping up with the tradition of gut wrenching horror, we unpack yet another birthday gone wrong for Buffy, unpack the Watchers Council and their abusive control over Slayers, and celebrate how even without her powers, Buffy manages to outsmart her foe with pure resourcefulness. What did you all think of the Cruciamentum and the way Buffy had to go through it powerless? Does this change how you see the Watchers Council now that we know what kind of tests they put their Slayers through? And where are you landing on Giles here — torn between duty and the love he clearly has for Buffy?Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“Becoming Buffy”“Investigating Angel” “PROPHECY GIRLS”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS” &“SLAYERFEST98”

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 11: “𝑮𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑹𝑩𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫” When Joyce decides to tag along on one of Buffy’s nightly patrols, she stumbles onto something she isn’t prepared for: the bodies of two murdered children. Horrified, she launches a crusade to “take back Sunnydale,” rallying the town’s parents into an old-fashioned witch hunt. While Buffy and her friends investigate, the adults grow increasingly hostile—culminating in Joyce herself leading a mob to burn Buffy, Willow, and Amy at the stake.Join us for a good ole burning at the stake, because hysteria in Sunnydale has officially hit a new level. We die at Joyce suddenly ghost-whispering with her dead kids, wig at the fact that parents are the real ones to fear, and break down how the whole idea of individuality literally goes up in flames. We lean into themes of widespread panic, pulling from real-world echoes like the satanic panic and the Salem witch trials. From folklore turning into pitchforks and torches, to laughing way too hard at Willow’s mom not even knowing Buffy’s name, this one has it all. Plus—Courtney’s geeking out over the German folklore roots, while Brandon’s a little too thrilled with Amy the rats cuteness. What do you think of this twist in fairytale lore? Do you like the hysteria presented to us and the use of Joyce as sort of villian in this one?

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 10: “𝑨𝑴𝑬𝑵𝑫𝑺”With Special Guest- 𝑰𝑵𝑽𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑮𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑳 𝑷𝑶𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑺𝑻 (SARAH & LEA)It’s Christmas in Sunnydale, but for Angel there’s no peace on earth. Haunted by visions of his past victims, he finds himself tormented by a dark force — the First Evil. As Willow and Oz navigate the fragile tension of their relationship, Buffy becomes drawn into Angel’s spiral fighting to save him from himselfThis week we’re joined by our friends Sarah and Lea from the Investigating Angel Podcast to revisit Angel’s torturous holiday season! Courtney shares her first impressions of the First Evil and its chilling choice to appear as Jenny Calendar, while we explore what Christmas on the Hellmouth looks like. From raunchy discussions of dream sex to everyone’s take on what “making amends” really means for each character, this episode covers it all. Lea does her best to dodge spoilers (with mixed results), Sarah brings sharp insights and layers of symbolism, and Brandon mixes thematic analysis with some wonderfully unhinged observations. Expect big laughs, thoughtful takes, memories and plenty of festive Buffyverse chaos —‘tis the season, or whatever that means. What did you think of this one? Do you enjoy the Christmas Carol vibes that Amends leans into? How do you feel about this deep dive into Angel’s journey — and that moment with Buffy at the end? Does it get you teary-eyed like it does me? Are we all happy Oz and Willow are finally back together? Oh and ANGEL OR STAR? 😉 👼⭐️🎄 Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!**Listen to all five seasons of ANGEL with Sarah and Lea at INVESTIGATING ANGEL PODCAST **You can also catch all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer over on Becoming Buffy Podcast with Sarah and her sisters Tabby & Leah! Be sure to follow both social medias as well to keep up with all future content! If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“PROPHECY GIRLS”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS” &“SLAYERFEST98”

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 9: “𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑾𝑰𝑺𝑯” Still reeling from her breakup with Xander, Cordelia decides all her problems began the moment Buffy came to Sunnydale. When she vents to new student Anya and carelessly wishes that Buffy had never arrived, she discovers too late that Anya is a vengeance demon who grants such desires. Cordelia is thrust into a dark alternate reality where Sunnydale is ruled by vampires, Buffy is nowhere to be found, and nothing is the same—in the worst possible way.This week on Revamped, the old adage “be careful what you wish for” rings true as Courtney is fascinated by Sunnydale’s dark alternate reality, we’re shaken by the shock of Cordelia’s death and the downfall of nearly everyone else as we revel in the Master’s return and our vamped-out Scoobies. We find the message is clear: without Buffy, there is no saving Sunnydale—and Brandon brings us home on the parallels, mirroring and above all the importance of why Buffy matters. I’d love to hear what you all think—does this one rank high on your list like it does for me? How did you feel about the alternate Sunnydale created by a single wish? Were you surprised to see the Master again? Do you enjoy Vampire Willow & Xander along with the introduction of Anya? and finally.. that closing sequence—does it hit you in the feels? Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!&If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we  highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“BECOMING BUFFY”“PROPHECY GIRLS”“INVESTIGATING ANGEL”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS” “SLAYERFEST98”

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 8: “𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑺 𝑾𝑨𝑳𝑲” Spike returns to Sunnydale, heartbroken and freshly dumped by Drusilla, and quickly turns his misery into mayhem. In a desperate bid to win Dru back, he kidnaps Willow and Xander, forcing Willow to perform a love spell. As Buffy and Angel reluctantly team up with Spike to save their friends, Oz and Cordelia stumble onto the rescue—only to discover Willow and Xander’s betrayal in the worst possible moment.This week on Revamped, it’s the walk of the lovers… packed with heartbreak, truth bombs, and one hell of a return. We dive into the consequences of cheating and exposed secrets, while celebrating Spike’s perfect placement as both chaos agent and truth-teller, calling out Buffy and Angel in ways no one else dares. We laughed nonstop at his moments with Joyce, felt every ounce of Cordelia’s heartbreak, and admit we’re ultimately grateful she and Xander are done for good.How does this one make you all feel about everything going on, do you enjoy spikes return? Are you glad the affair was revealed? Did they get you with the cordelia death scare first time watching?

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 7: “𝑹𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑳𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺” Secrets are heavy in Sunnydale and when new faces arrive and old ones resurface, trust within the group begins to splinter. A new Watcher arrives and shakes up the Slayer dynamic with a hidden agenda. Xander and Willow’s romance edges closer to exposure and Buffy’s private world with Angel can no longer stay hidden from her friends — forcing everyone to face the truth, whether they’re ready or not.This week on Revamped, we tackle the episode that brings in Gwendolyn Post, Faith’s new “watcher” we all hate with an attitude that had Courtney side-eyeing her from the jump. We explore her hidden agenda and the cracks in trust between Buffy and Faith she and Xander create, also pointing out his relentless habit of bending the truth to suit his narrative. Between loyalty tests, hidden motives, and friendships pushed to the limit, this one gave us plenty to chew on. Not to mention all the thirsting for slayer on slayer action.. and not the fighting kind. 😉 I’m curious what you all think about whats going on…do you think Buffy was justified in keeping Angel a secret, or did it backfire on the group? Did Xander cross a line? Should Willow have been real with Buffy? And do you wish Faith had spoken up when it mattered most? So many questions and even more what-ifs.Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!&If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we  highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“BECOMING BUFFY”“PROPHECY GIRLS”“INVESTIGATING ANGEL”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS!”“SLAYERFEST98”

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 6: “𝑩𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑫𝒀”The Mayor, Mr. Trick, and an old ally dish out cursed candy that turns Sunnydale’s adults into reckless teenagers, keeping them distracted while a tribute is offered to a demon. While Buffy races to stop the scheme, she’s also forced to endure the nightmare of Giles and Joyce acting like lovestruck teens with one another.This week on Revamped we’re totally unhinged in the best way, having a blast as we discuss cursed candy and the adult-to-teen regression witnessing what a young Joyce and Giles would have been like. We crack up endlessly at Snyder’s over-the-top personality, cringe right along with the Scoobies as the mystical candy works its chaos and decide that we are never getting in a car with Buffy behind the wheel. Packed with laughs, insights, and fun facts, this episode delivers those appropriately positive vibes flowing hardcore!What’s your favorite moment from Band Candy? Do you ship Joyce and Giles in this episode?  What do you think of the switch up of snyder joining the team in a way, and do you enjoy the return of Ethan rayne? Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!&If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we  highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“BECOMING BUFFY”“PROPHECY GIRLS”“INVESTIGATING ANGEL”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS!”“SLAYERFEST98”

𝑰𝑨𝑵 𝑪𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑶𝑺 𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑾𝑭𝑶𝑹𝑫 (𝑺𝑳𝑨𝒀𝑬𝑹𝑭𝑬𝑺𝑻’98 𝑷𝑶𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑺𝑻)As the Sunnydale High Homecoming dance approaches, Buffy finds herself in a full-on rivalry with Cordelia for the coveted crown. But when a mysterious Slayer-hunting competition called “SlayerFest '98” kicks off, Buffy and Cordelia mistaken for Faith —leaving them stranded in the woods, fighting for their lives. Meanwhile, alliances and romantic tensions brew back at school, and the race for Homecoming Queen gets as brutal as the battlefield.This week on Revamped we’re joined by SLAYERFEST98 host Ian Carlos Crawford to tackle the chaos and comedy of Homecoming. We break down what it’s like to literally be hunted as a Slayer, laugh our way through Buffy and Cordelia’s homecoming queen rivalry, and dig into why this whole ordeal actually means so much to Buffy. The three of us also land firmly on the side of “ICK” when it comes to Willow and Xander’s secret love moments (a.k.a. cheating on their partners), and we award Cordelia full credit for her bravery and those surprisingly clever “tact-tics” she uses to protect Buffy.Let us know what you think of this one? Is it a fav for you, do you like the mishap team up of Buffy and Cordy along with their rivalry. What do you think of the Willow/Xander situation and also are you just as happy as us that Buffy and Scott are NO MORE!! Write in by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!𝖸𝗈𝗎 𝖼𝖺𝗇 𝖿𝗈𝗅𝗅𝗈𝗐 𝖨𝖺𝗇 𝗈𝗇 𝖨𝖦 & 𝗈𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝗌𝗈𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅 𝗉𝗅𝖺𝗍𝖿𝗈𝗋𝗆𝗌 @𝗌𝗅𝖺𝗒𝖾𝗋𝖿𝖾𝗌𝗍𝗑98, 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝖼𝖺𝗇 𝖺𝗅𝗌𝗈 𝖿𝗂𝗇𝖽 𝗁𝗂𝗆 𝗍𝗁𝗋𝗈𝗎𝗀𝗁 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗄𝗌 𝗂𝗇 𝗈𝗎𝗋 𝖽𝖾𝗌𝖼𝗋𝗂𝗉𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇, 𝗂𝗇𝖼𝗅𝗎𝖽𝗂𝗇𝗀 his 𝗉𝗈𝖽𝖼𝖺𝗌𝗍𝗌 𝖲𝗅𝖺𝗒𝖾𝗋𝖿𝖾𝗌𝗍98 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖬𝗒 𝖡𝗅𝗈𝗈𝖽𝗒 𝖩𝗎𝖽𝗒.

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 4: “𝑩𝑬𝑨𝑼𝑻𝒀 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑻𝑺”When a student is found violently killed in the woods, suspicion falls on Oz, whose werewolf side might be the culprit. But as Buffy secretly deals with the shocking return of a feral and traumatized Angel, the real monster turns out to be far more human. As the gang investigates, the lines between beast and man, control and chaos, begin to blur—with deadly consequences.This week we get real with the heavy themes of domestic abuse woven into this episode. Courtney is stunned and genuinely shocked by Angel’s sudden return, while we collectively decide Scott Hope is the worst — honestly, we’d take feral, freshly-returned-from-hell Angel over him any day. We also break down Oz’s big moment, revisiting the wild potential of his werewolf form and how it can actually be used to his advantage. Plus, we gush about Faith’s presence on the show and side-eye Xander for dropping the ball yet again — because, let’s be real, this whole mess could’ve been wrapped up way faster if he’d been a little more responsible.Were you surprised at Angels state of being upon returning from hell? What do you think of Pete and Debbies relationship and themes presented to us in this one and how buffy handles that situation. Write in and let us know by sending a DM over on IG: @revamped_rewatchpodcast or send an email to revampedrewatchpod@gmail.comExplore the world left behind over on Courtneys podcast:“Echoes of Elsewhere: An Urban Exploration” available wherever you get your pods!&If you love BuffyVerse podcasts & crave more content we  highly recommend checking out our friends over at:“BECOMING BUFFY”“PROPHECY GIRLS”“INVESTIGATING ANGEL”“ALL BRONZE, NO BRAINS!”“SLAYERFEST98”

Buffy is forced to confront not only this new threat, but the chaos that Faith’s presence stirs in everyone around her. This episode, we’re overjoyed to meet Faith—Kendra’s successor—and dive into everything that makes her bold, chaotic, and instantly captivating. We unpack the parallels between her and Buffy, laugh at the over-the-top (but still kind of scary) villain chasing her, and finally see Buffy begin to release the burden she’s been carrying. Leaving this one on a cliffhanger with the shocking REVEAL of Angel’s return! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???It’s a big one where we explore new dynamics and witness a fresh start for everyone! What do you all think of new slayer Faith?

ʙᴜғғʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠᴀᴍᴘɪʀᴇ sʟᴀʏᴇʀ𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 3 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 2: “𝑫𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑴𝑨𝑵𝑺 𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑻𝒀”As Buffy tries to reconnect with her friends and adjust to life back in Sunnydale, unresolved conflicts make her return far from smooth. Joyce, unknowingly bringing home a cursed Nigerian mask as decor, sets off a chain of events that begins raising the dead and during Buffy’s welcome-home party, personal and supernatural problems arise when the gang is forced to put their issues aside and fight off a house full of the undead.This week, we feel the negative vibes flowing as Buffy returns home and tensions rise. We try to understand everyone’s angle, but ultimately side with Buffy—who’s being attacked and not really listened to. We dive into themes of avoidance, bad friends, and the importance of communication in relationships. Plus, we nag on Pat and her “pat-ssive aggressive” behavior, and admit… this might be the first time we kind of hate Willow.How do you all feel about the way Buffy is treated by everyone this episode? Are their feelings valid, or is their reaction selfish? Do you see more of her side or another persons? And If you were one of the Scoobies, how would you have handled Buffy’s return?

But when a hellish dimension threatens runaway teens, she’s forced to step back into the fight she thought she’d escaped. Back in Sunnydale, Giles hunts for clues to her whereabouts while the rest of the gang learn firsthand just how hard it is to patrol the Hellmouth without their Slayer.In this episode, Courtney and I catch up with Buffy as she navigates life in LA—and literal hell—while struggling to find herself again after last season’s devastating end. We talk about her journey back to purpose, discuss what the Scoobies are up to in Sunnydale, and how Buffy’s influence helps Lily step into a new version of herself and the importance of being ANNE. <3What do you guys think of this one? Do you love how Buffy reclaims her power and steps back into the fight? What did you think about the mirroring of Lily with Buffy?
