Uh, hi, I just wanted to say that I really love your podcast, and listened to every episode, straight through (just about), over my holiday last week. I wanna thank you guys for making me laugh and entertaining me in no-internet land, and I hope you get the next episode (Band Candy, yay!) out soon!
Okay, that’s about it. Keep up the good work, guys, it’s good to know I’m not the only one who analyzes TV half to death
.
“SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, BUTTON YOUR SWEATER!” The outrage in Kathleen’s voice was HILARIOUS.
I really like Homecoming, because I love a.) seeing Cordy and Buffy battle for queen bitca on campus, and b.) Faith does the nicest thing she ever does for Buffy by convincing her to go to the dance and look awesome and show that loser Scott Hope she’s over him.
Plus, anytime there are lines like “Cordelia, the spatula!”? It’s just a show made of awesome.
Nicely done guys. I know you’re now recording via Skype, does that mean no more live shows? *sniffles*
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents’ worth. Fairly recent Buffy fan . . making my way through the series the second time. With great giddiness I discovered your podcast. It now accompanies me on my daily commute and all-too-frequent trips to PetSmart. Keep up the great show! Knowing how Buffy skyrockets into the stratosphere in terms of quality as the seasons go on, I’m so looking forward to little things, like “The Body” and “Fool for Love” and “Grave” and “Hush” and “Lies my Parents Told Me” and “Family” and . . .
I’ve been a Buffy fan for years — part of my mid-life crisis! I love almost everything Joss has done, but Buffy is the best. (See how quickly you can figure out my email address.) I have an entire bookshelf of books about Buffy, ranging from episode guides to Buffy & philosophy. I’ve listen to podcasts about Buffy before, but thought there was nothing worthwhile out there any more. Then I found you!!! I’ve been working my way backwards. I’m impressed by how much you’ve grown and developed since you started. Particularly impressed because you’ve all continued with the rest of your lives. (I think I hear sounds of a new-born in the background?) Please please please, continue! All I can ask / beg is that you come out with more podcasts more quickly. I’ve watched all the shows numerous times, but after listening to your shows I’ve gone back to watch some again. Because I have watched them so much, my only complaint is when you get a story-line fact wrong. Otherwise, please please continue!
