    Bonus: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3, Part 2 with Sophie Cadden & James Duffy

    [BONUS] We resume our bonus coverage of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's third season... where an accidental wish plunges the town into a dystopian alternate reality, an ancient evil torments Angel on Christmas Eve, a betrayal by Giles leaves a powerless Buffy to face a psychotic vampire alone, and a sidelined Xander must quietly find his own inner strength to stop an explosive zombie plot...

Deprived of her strength, she must rely entirely on her wits to save her mother from a psychotic, escaped vampire named Zachary Kralik. ~ [ 02:25:30 ]  "The Zeppo" with James Duffy Feeling excluded and dismissed as the useless "Zeppo" of the gang, Xander accidentally falls in with a group of dangerous, bomb-building zombies. While the rest of his friends fight off a literal apocalypse in the background, Xander must quietly find his own inner confidence to stop Sunnydale High from being blown to pieces. 🎙️ The Lineup Hosts & Editors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dan Owen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠Hugh McStay⁠ Guests: Sophie Cadden & James Murray"Oh, please. 'Integral part' of the group? Xander, you're the-the useless part of the group. You're the Zeppo. 'Cool.' Look it up.
