The podcast with nothing much ado about aircrafts, and potentially everything ado with first episodes of a filmic series.

  • Not hoist a pilot = good episode

Show Notes

{1:00} Background: Long story short, Drew had nothing better to do in high than watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As a result Drew loves Buffy and the creator Joss Whedon. Jimbo had never watched any Buffy episodes, but remembered liking the movie as a kid.

{3:45} Summary:

{5:23} High Points: Not much… Feminism. Drew thought the show had ambition. Great 1990s time capsule show.

{7:33} Low Points: Too many! Super cliche cheesy, Giles, bad acting, (you get the point) etc.

{14:40} MVPs: Buffy as the chosen one, and Buffy killing the henchman vampire.

{18:10} Dangling Threads of Interest: Sarah Michelle Gellar; The Buffy movie. Joss Whedon and the Avengers movie. Fight scenes and special effects.

{25:25} Watch or Rewatch: Drew- no, but he will watch a few certain episodes. Jimbo might check out season three at some point in his life.

{25:50} To Hoist or Not to Hoist?: No brainer, hella hoist!

{27:24} Petardar:

{29:27} Next Week: One-Punch Man
