Wondery Presents - The Rewatcher: Buffy The Vampire Slayer
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.

Best podcast
Every episode explores A completely different person, discussion and story. Having people tell there stories themselves makes every episode extremely personal, I really enjoy this podcast and would highly recommend!

I just love this podcast. The stories, your voice and the wonderful intro music 🤍
Wow! Just wow!
I’m usually a true crime lover and this is one of the very few podcasts I listen to that dont fall in that category.
Week after week I’m just blown away by the guests you have on and how amazingly they tell their stories.
Please dont ever stop making this show!
