Teacher’s Pet
Xander falls for a new substitute teacher in school called Miss French, who, amazingly, seems to like him too. It turns out she’s a man-eating Praying Mantis in human form and is after Xander’s virgin sperm for fertilization. No, really. Xander is saved by Buffy, but his pride is lost somewhere in the process

Just listened to the show…fun as usual and I will definitely add those two podcasts you mentioned to my list.
And thankyou for pointing out Sarah’s panty lines and short pants…as a costume designer that always bugged me…as well Angel’s ridiculous fashion sense in season one and some of season two. Which they will finally get around to mocking in the s2 episode Lie to Me.
Keep em coming…

Long time listener, first time “special guest”. I did some research on my Justice League credits and found these:
Daniel Dae Kim … Metron
Juliet Landau … Tala
Gina Torres … Vixen
Morena Baccarin … Black Canary
Nathan Fillion … Gregory Saunders/The Vigilante I
Alexis Denisof … Evan McCulloch/Mirror Master III
Amy Acker … Huntress
Adam Baldwin … Rick Flagg Jr
I think that’s it, but I could be wrong.
I had a great time!
Is there a way to put the Podcast on my web page? And by web page, I mean, “MySpace”.

I love the podast!!
You were talking about shows that Buffyverse people were on. Well, also on Alias, Marshall Flinkman was one of Glory’s minions in season 5. His name is Kevin Weisman and he played Dreg.
Also I can’t wait to watch Drive with Nathan Fillion and Amy Acker! I love it when Whedonverse people team up in new projects.

I had to stop listening because I’m not done with Angel yet. I’ll be starting Season 2 next week. When I’m done I’ll pick you guys back up. I really like the show so keep up the good work.

Just wanted to say much I am loving the podcast. I heard about you from Alyrenee at Undead Amercia and can’t thank her enough for sending me your direction. You even inspired me to watch Buffy and Angel again, I am about halfway through season 3 and can’t wait to hear your thoughts about these episodes.
Keep up the great work and I will keep listening!!!
