Description

Welcome to the Hellmouth Weirdos! Your favorite Morbid hosts Ash and Alaina are branching out from true crime and heading to Sunnydale for the ultimate Buffy the Vampire Slayer Rewatch podcast! Alaina is a Buffy superfan and Ash has never watched a single episode, so whether you’re Team Angel, Team Spike, or have no clue who those people are…they’ve got you covered! Join them each week as they slay their way through the series, episode by episode, re-watching, and watching for the very first time. They’ll break down Buffy and her friends adventures through weekly recaps, categories, and awards while Ash takes some (wooden stake) stabs at predicting what she thinks will happen next. They'll also welcome the occasional Buffy cast member, guest star, or celebrity superfan to join in the slaying.

Listen early and ad-free on Wondery+ or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes come out every Monday.

There’s a full moon, and we all know what that means for our favorite werewolf Oz!

Shit hits the fan when Willow walks in on a naked Veruca canoodling her beloved Oz. Luckily, Buffy and Xander hurry to comfort Willow while she decides if she should curse Oz and Veruca to a life of misery forever. The silver lining (if there even is one at all): Buffy is killing it in Walsh’s class!Rewatch, listen & laugh as we call Veruca every name in the book, Ash re-evaluates her stance on Riley’s hair, and Alaina reveals how she might take care of the whole Veruca/Oz situation.

Ugh, our girl Buffy still cannot get over that fuckboy Parker Abrams! In an attempt to drown her sorrows, she turns to many MANY pints of beer with her new asshole “friends” at the pub where Xander has picked up bartending. But of course, shit always gets weird in Hellmouth — Buffy starts speaking in monosyllabic sentences and stealing sandwiches out of her classmate’s hand. So naturally, it’s up to Xander and Giles to step in and help figure out wtf she’s doing. Meanwhile, Oz and Willow deal with their own Veruca-related problems. Rewatch, listen & laugh as Ash gives Buffy advice on how to get over Parker, we cave and admit that Xander looks hot, and we talk about the socioeconomic beer of our dreams!

It’s our first Halloween at UC Sunnydale, and while most of the gang is psyched to tear it up, Buffy can’t stop brooding over that pompous bitch blossom Parker Abrams. Giles lets Buffy take the night off giving her no other choice but to fifth wheel at a haunted house frat party. But this party isn’t like any other one, this one gets straight up demonic and isn’t what anyone had in mind for Halloween!   Rewatch, listen & laugh as we fall further in love with Oz, lose our minds over a few too many misophonia moments, and contemplate our stance on TA Riley!

 We’ve all had a roommate horror story (it builds character, right?), but Buffy’s might give yours a run for its money. From clipping her toenails in bed to passive aggressively labeling everything in the fridge with her name — even each. individual. egg. — Kathy is really testing Buffy’s patience. As Buffy’s anger toward Kathy intensifies, Xander, Oz, and Willow start to think Buffy has gone a bit too far. After all, we’ve all had less-than-ideal roommates, but there’s no need to go all evil Buffy on her, right?! Or is something Hellmouth-y afoot?!Rewatch, listen & laugh as we hate on Parker Abrams, Alaina lets her poet soul out, and we give you our first installment of “Dental Hygiene Talk with Ash & Alaina”!

can you watch Buffy season 4 and alternate that with Angel season 1? I would love to hear your take on a lot of Angel's episodes. It also makes a lot more sense story-wise there's a lot of crossover. Like cover an episode on Buffy season 4 episode 1 and later that week and episode on Angel season 1 episode 1, or alternate each week.

Sooo about whether or not Faith and Angelus had sex, they did. Why didn't Angel turn into Angelus? One moment of "pure happiness" doesn't mean orgasm. Do you know how unusual it is for any one person to achieve Pure Happiness? Hence Angel able to have sex...just not with Buffy.

Faith's "I like it here." I forget, was that literally the libe or our hosts paraphrasing? Either way, oddly & deep cutting-ly the line Eluza Dushku's character used at the end of the good/bad forgettable movie Soul Survivors.
