Guys, we’re back, and we brought some friends! Instead of comparing two shows, we joined forces with the hosts of another Buffy podcast, Boys Watching Buffy, to review a movie starring a Gilmore Girl: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. We chat all about the sometimes cringe, yet surprisingly emotional summer adventures of Carmen, Lena, Bridget, Tibby(!?), and their shared, dirty, pair of regular-looking, yet magical pants. Whether you’ve seen this movie or not, whether you liked it or didn’t...

Happy early American Thanksgiving! It's been a couple months since we released our last episode, so we wanted to let you know what we've been up to. We catch you up on everything we've been watching. We share some highlights from our recent trip to the Pacific Northwest including a few brushes with danger. We share a bit about our trip to Connecticut to host the Gilmore Girls cast panel. Plus we've got some updates about where we're at with our next phase of content, including a wild pitch for a...

We did it! We watched and compared Joss and Amy's other two shows. They didn't have quite as much in common as Buffy and Gilmore, but they are both about ragtag groups of people who become each other's found family, led by reluctant heroes. Also both shows feature young, thin, petite girls who can do impressive stuff with their bodies. Oh, and Mitchum! We discuss what worked about the shows, what didn't, and where they maybe would have gone with more seasons. Plus we do an accidental ad for Gain...

Bunheads Episode 17 "It's Not a Mint"/Bunheads Episode 18 "Next!" Welp, that's a wrap on Bunheads... did not expect it to end in the middle of a sex ed lesson, but at least we got a cool final dance. We begin with a Bracebridge-esque, town-hunkering-down-together episode, featuring Sean Gunn as basically Kirk. Then we watch as Michelle tries to balance her goals of achieving stardom with her growing pile of sex questions from her students. We do get some nice relationship-mending moments, and so...

Our discussion on the conclusion to the Firefly series: "Serenity" This week we catch up with the crew of Serenity in their feature film! Fortunately, this little show was blessed with the chance to tie up some loose ends. It ties up some of the, arguably, most interesting ends, however, we do wish they had a bit more time to focus on certain characters. We get cameos from a couple famous actors, and a visitor from Joss's sex bot closet. Shepherd Book still doesn't give us any of his backstory, ...

Bunheads Episode 15 "Take the Vicuna"/Bunheads Episode 16 "There's Nothing Worse Than a Pantsuit" Witness the drama unfold as boyfriends *gasp* try to sit with their girlfriends at lunch, and Michelle and her brother... don't go to Burning Man? You thought Michelle's brother was bad? Wait till you meet their mom! Sasha's new apartment has everyone in a tizzy. Fanny makes a deal with Milly, after Milly pulls some real Paris sh*t. We were super excited to see Sal again, but for us, he's lost a bit...

Firefly Episode 14 "Objects in Space"/Bunheads Episode 14 "The Astronaut and the Ballerina" This week's Firefly introduces a man by the name of Early: a complex, interesting, possibly mad character that we'd love to see more of. Unfortunately this was the last episode... Meanwhile, Bunhead Ginny is driven to madness by some parental drama. AND... coincidentally, (or maybe not? AMY!?) Early and Ginny both process a reveal concerning violence towards dogs!? While Early lurks on the Serenity, Melan...

Bunheads Episode 13 "I'll Be Your Meyer Lansky"/Firefly Episode 13 "Heart of Gold" Fanny and Michelle take steps to better utilize their land, while Inara enlists the Serenity crew to help an old friend defend her brothel. Both episodes feature characters being forced to the ground, as well as villainous characters who are passionate about theater and getting what they want. We find out that neither Michelle nor Inara's friend finished school. It's hard to say which location features more boobs:...

Firefly Episode 12 "The Message"/Bunheads Episode 12 "Channing Tatum Is a Fine Actor" Just when we thought Amy was out of things to borrow from Joss, she went ahead and borrowed beans. Not only that, but both shows also feature fake moustaches, stupid hats, a new mysterious guy starting a flirtation with a main character, and men with classically female names. We're willing to concede this is more of a coincidence than something borrowed, but both episodes also happen to feature actors that Joss...

Bunheads Episode 11 "You Wanna See Something?"/Firefly Episode 11 "Trash" This week both Sasha and YoSafBridge are hiding romances and being smuggled around as contraband, having recently reappeared after doing other gigs. We're introduced to the old lovers of YoSafBridge and Talia, old taking on more than one meaning here. Michelle as well as Simon and River are brought foil-wrapped food to eat in their little rooms. Both Jayne and Boo's mom both find themselves on bedrest whether they like it ...

Firefly Episode 10 "War Stories"/Bunheads Episode 10 "A Nutcracker in Paradise" Michelle tortures a room full of people completely by accident, while Malcom gets tortured by a creepy old man who's just super into torture. Michelle and Malcom are both caught in the middle of lovers who aren't communicating very well. Michael disappears partway through this episode, just like Malcom's right ear. We disagree about Fanny's ADORABLE outfit, but agree that henchmen outfits are pretty stupid. Plus Brya...

Bunheads Episode 9 "No One Takes Khaleesi's Dragons"/Firefly Episode 9 "Ariel" While our Firefly friends do a heist to steel drugs from the rich, Michelle elaborately lies to the town, so she can have some grocery store coffee. Wash and Kaylee build an emergency vehicle out of junk, while Fanny attempts to cast a Nutcracker with inferior dancers. The usually graceful Ginny goes tumbling down the bleachers, much like all the rando space cops who fall to the ground after a glowstick attack. Both R...

Firefly Episode 8 "Out of Gas"/Bunheads Episode 8 "Blank Up, It's Time" Malcom disparately needs to find a part in order to save his crew. Meanwhile Boo receives a part completely out of the blue. We learn that Inara has almost as many rules as Fanny, and that some of both their rules have recently been broken. We learn that Zoë was initially not a fan of Wash, so perhaps there's hope for Boo to come around on Carl. Gadot is not in this episode of Bunheads, but a version of him showed up in this...

Bunheads Episode 7 "What's Your Damage, Heather?"/Firefly Episode 7 "Jaynestown" One's a familiar face from Jayne's past, back for revenge. The other's a familiar face from our Gilmore Slayer past, back as a sh*tty plumber, and they both have one eye. Coincidence, Amy!?! It's hard to imagine which smells worse, Fanny's mildewy dressing room, or Jayne's muddy planet. Also which is more disgusting, mudder's milk or that fried food buffet the bunheads consumed. Neither Michelle nor the Magistrate's...

Firefly Episode 6 "Our Mrs. Reynolds"/Bunheads Episode 6 "Movie Truck" One's a trained companion gone rouge, and one's a dress shop owner who hosts a book club at her out-of-town friend's house, but both of these ladies are trying to be someone else today. Both must find a way to sneak into/out of vehicle, but opt not to do it by seducing women. Both episodes feature unusual outfits, one made of teddy bears and one made for a gun. Some of our favorite characters face serious challenges this week...

Bunheads Episode 5 "Money for Nothing"/Firefly Episode 5 "Safe" This week the bunheads AND River get to express themselves through dance, at least until the forces of evil enter. For River, evil is kidnappers; for the bunheads, it's grocery bags. Malcom negotiates a fair price for the cows he's been flying around, while Michelle negotiates her way into a teen hangout after she can't negotiate financial sense into Fanny. We meet more family members of both Simon and Rico, who've both made notable...

Firefly Episode 4 "Shindig"/Bunheads Episode 4 "Better Luck Next Year" Both Malcom and Sasha have been a bit snotty lately, so they offer Kaylee/Boo a dress/pointe shoes in hopes of winning back their friendship. Boo and Summer briefly change their identities in order to trick someone who could decide their fate. Inara has two men fighting over her on the dance floor, while Michelle struggles to find a man to do anything about her dance floor. Both episodes feature... catering? (Hey, it's not gr...

Also both of them spend this episode acquiring property from the recently deceased and discovering strange men in the homes they invited themselves into. The Serenity crew discovers a bunch of dead bodies, which somehow have way less of a stench than the mac n' cheese Boo's mom made. Both Boo and Malcom are forced into be...

Firefly Episode 2 "The Train Job"/Bunheads Episode 2 "For Fanny" Lots of similarities this week including one very obvious one. We're treated to the same guest star in both episodes, playing two very different characters. There's also a smaller connection, in that Firefly's location of the week has a very similar name to the setting of Bunheads. We've got charcters who are feeling kind of useless, trying to figure out their next move. We've ladies in both episodes casually doing a friend's hair....

Bunheads Episode 1 "Pilot"/Firefly Episode 1 "Serenity" We started two new shows that were cancelled too soon, created by the same people as the other shows we used to talk about, and boy do they both loooove to reuse actors. New shows mean new names for Bryan to learn, and you'll be unsurprised to find out he is NOT good at it. The similarities are slim so far, but we're sure Amy's buried some for us to find down the road. Both shows do feature people stuck together trying to figure out their n...

Our last Gilmore Girls episode was getting a little long, so we decided to record another one to wrap some of our lingering Gilmore thoughts. We discuss who we think Rory should end up with, including the completion of Bryan's teased thoughts on Jess and Rory. We break down the final four words and our feelings on the ending. We pitch some ideas for what the show might look like if they were to ever make more. Stacey reads some of Bryan's predictions from previous episodes, to see how close he w...

Well friends, we've reached the end of the Buffy Season 8 comics. They started off a little weird, then got so much weirder and more pornographic than we ever could have imagined. Buffy's straight-up a super hero now, though we're still not sure we understand why. You'll be happy to know, Giles' horses are still in the picture, though who has them might surprise you. Much like the last episode of A Year in the Life, a lot of old familiar faces show up. Joss writes everyone a little apology lette...

We did it! We finished all of Gilmore Girls and recorded our longest episode ever! Probably our longest intro ever too, due to some neighbor drama and lingering thoughts about bidets. For as many issues as the revival series has, we really enjoyed this episode with its barrage of old characters and tear-jerking scenes. We do our best to figure out the meaning of whales and what the heck the show is trying to say about money. The final four words weren't quite what Byran predicted, but he did get...

Welp, things certainly haven't gotten less weird in the Buffy comics since we last chatted. We get appearances by plenty of old friends from the TV show and get introduced to vampy cats! You know, vampy cats... adorable, little, women-hating terror creatures. Harmony gets her own reality show, which somehow alters the status quo of the entire world. We meet a group of werewolves who are super afraid of knives. If you're a fan of the episode "Storyteller" you'll be happy to know the smoking jacke...

We're taking a break from our regularly-scheduled content to tell you about our travels! First, we share our experience hosting the Gilmore Girls cast panel, including which cast member has an alter ego. Then we move on to Italy, where we found bidets quite overwhelming. Florence had both the best and worst food, including sandwiches made by sloths. We encountered a few scams involving roses, trains, and Colosseums. Wine is pretty much free, though it sometimes comes with a lil bit o' cough. And...

Oh Summer... you were definitely weird and bad at times, but we still had fun. Lorelai volunteers to watch the first draft of Taylor's musical, for which she definitely had some notes, and so do we! Rory volunteers for a job that most definitely should pay. However, money rules tend to defy logic in Rory's orbit. Emily slept iiin!? She's also dating, eating in the living room, and has absolutely no idea whats inside her puffs. Bryan has some WILD predictions for the final 4 words, and be sure to...

Okay, so things definitely got a bit weirder in this chunk of comics. We've got tree people; we've got a fish man; we've got a real sexy snake lady, and boy, does Dawn get up to some stuff. Our heroes travel the globe, and reunite with a very famous vampire from Season 5. Buffy travels through time to future New York City, where she's meets someone famous from the comics with a very interesting family connection. We then get a break from our regularly scheduled Season 8 comics to head back to Se...

It's Wookie week! Rory still can't figure out her life, and Lorelai's is maybe starting to crumble a bit as well. We get to see a lot of old familiar faces in this episode, as well as one we've never seen. We take a trip back to Chilton where we get a whole lotta Headmaster, and liiiittle bit of the side of fake Tristan's face. It's hard to tell which is more impressive, how tall Paris' house is or how high she got her foot in the air. We loved to hate all that nonesense Sandy Says did with her ...

We've got some notes, per ushe, but we're really digging the comics so far! ...despite the super creepy, possibly problematic, underground slime monster. Buffy's back with a full slayer army, a big ole slayer budget, and big ole lil sis. The big bad seems to be a Marvel villain with a hairy chest and a secret identity... fer NOW! We get a lot of fun cameos, a very satisfying amount of Dark Giles, but also a lot more bath stuff than we expected. And please... don't hesitate to DM us if you'd like...

Rather than put a big ole pause in the middle of Season 8, we've decided it will be best to start releasing episodes every other week for the next few months. This episode explains all that, plus we throw in a few little stories, such as our mysterious Italian B&B and Bryan's recent shopping...
