Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast

Updated Weekly

Penny and Kara take you on a journey of appreciation, nostalgia and deep analysis of all things Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently in BTVS Season 3 and we plan to rewatch the whole series (& Angel) in chronological order. New Episodes are published on Tuesdays. Why revisit the Buffy-verse? We think the show Still Slays. Buffy is both iconoclast and icon. 25 years ago she broke new ground for women characters as superheroes and women as people by subverting tropes, using kindness as strength and love as power. The cheeky vibe of the show provides a campy canvas for exploring some deep themes about trauma, societal ills and human nature all while delivering its signature witty dialogue. BTVS remains relevant and held in high critical regard 25 years later. For first time watchers of the series we try to avoid too many spoilers until the end of the podcast so it’s easy to skip.

Truly excellent show with talented podcasters. Very informative and interesting. Really appreciate the thoughtful deep dives into a show that is as highly progressive for its time. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Slightly off topic, in the most recent episode you guys talk about analog clocks and cursive not being taught in schools anymore and I hand to say something lol. Those are definitely still taught in schools today. I’m sure it varies as to grade, but in public schools at least, analog clock reading is taught starting in 2nd or 3rd grade. Cursive is also taught staring at about 2nd grade. Sorry I had to say something because I keep randomly hearing people say those things aren’t taught anymore. I don’t know who started the rumor, but it’s definitely not accurate. Well, unless they’re talking about private schools since they’re not required to follow national/state curriculum. Anywho, I’ve been enjoying your discussions about Buffy!
Much of the same

Same old Xander Bashing … every podcast does these days. So it’s very much a mainstream group think. If they are gonna bash a main Character it needs to be otherwise entertaining and thoughtful discussion. It isn’t.

The Xander bashing is so old. Though I do appreciate their love for Spike.
