FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! The nineteenth episode of season two of Buffy The Vampire Slayer opens with Buffy moping around at the Bronze while slow music plays.

AP Productions: Winghaven #11

Creed’s office was in a non-descript two story red brick building. The first floor was the office itself with the front window simply reading “Private Investigator” with the business’ phone number underneath. The second floor contained Creed’s one room apartment. His motorcycle was normally parked in the back lot with a tarp over it alongside his pickup truck. Alysa crossed the street to the small … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #11

A Main Character Finally Dies: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E17-18

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! In the modern era where most TV shows have much shorter seasons, I have completely forgotten that most network shows typically had/have seasons with twenty-something episodes. It feels like I’ve been on season two of Buffy for an eternity already. This is why I’m not much of a TV guy. Do you know how many movies I could watch … Continue reading A Main Character Finally Dies: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E17-18

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! In the wake of the rise of Angelus, we settle in nice and easy, with Willow and Oz talking about a date they had had the night before. They saw a movie and enjoyed each others’ company! Aw, those sweet kids. Willow still REALLY wants to make out, though; Oz continues to hold back, and we see why. Willow … Continue reading Xander Sucks, But This Time On Purpose, A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E15-16

My Name Is Judge: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E13-14

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! It’s ANOTHER two-parter! We just had one of those for episodes 10-11. Oh man, Buffy is getting storyline intensive and moving slightly away from the Monster Of The Week formula. Let’s see where these two go. The episode starts off with a pretty obvious dream sequence from our lead character. Drusilla is creeping behind her in her home. Then … Continue reading My Name Is Judge: A BTVS Retrospective, S2 E13-14

JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! After that tense two-parter, we handily clean up our unresolved plot threads by seeing Buffy, Xander, and Willow casually alert the audience that the Court Of Terrakion contract has been cancelled for… reasons. They are also making super hip and timely 1997 references to Captain & Tenille… though that MIGHT have been the joke, and I’m not prepared for … Continue reading JOHN RITTER WAS ON THIS SHOW?! A BTVS Retrospective: S2 E11-12

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)

I went into “Marvel the Shell With Shoes On” expecting basically just a long form of his numerous YouTube videos. What I found was a deeply moving, often funny, sometimes tearjerkingly sad, masterpiece of a story. Marcel lives alone with his grandmother after an incident caused the rest of his family and neighbors to vanish one evening. The two share a house and soon find … Continue reading Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (2021)
