Introducing ROGUES GALLERY

When Firefly was cancelled after only 11 episodes  aired (way to go, Fox), it was the fan response that convinced Universal  to give the film the green light. Joss rewarded us with a story that  would have served as the plot line for the mythical Firefly: Season  Two. When an Alliance-devoted Operative learns that River was privy  to a government-destroying secret, he sets out to capture her no matter  the obstacle. But when River's "trigger" reveals her super soldier  fighting skills, the Serenity crew has some questions of their own. Will  the Operative capture the Tams before our crew can reveal the truth  about Reavers? Kristen and Mike discuss the reception of the film  for non-Browncoats, what Mal believes in, and which characters were  under-served. PLUS! What's next for Kristen and Mike?iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / InstagramAbout the Show

Bonus Episode: Beyond Sunnydale

In  "The Message", Zoe and Mal receive a crate in the mail containing the  dead body of their former brother-in-arms, Tracy. As they try to return  his body to his family, Serenity is attacked by feds demanding Tracy's  corpse. When Simon attempts an autopsy, Tracy wakes up and explains that  he's smuggling human organs. The crew must figure out how to save Tracy  and themselves from the rogue feds. Kristen and Mike discuss Tracy's  fatal flaw, and the more dramatic tone of this episode. In  "Heart of Gold", Inara's friend Nandi asks for help. Her brothel is  under attack from a wealthy customer looking to steal a prostitute's  baby. The crew jump to action fortifying the bordello and defending the  women. When Mal hits it off with Nandi, Inara feigns indifference but is  privately heartbroken. We examine Mal and Inara's relationship (or lack  thereof), the crew's distinct roles in the battle, Jayne's respect for  the working girls, and Kristen mixes up Nandi and Tandi repeatedly.

Out of Gas / Ariel

The Sunnydale Stacks is a podcast dedicated to Joss Whedon's seminal TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its enduring legacy. Join Kristen &amp; Mike every other Wednesday as they rewatch two episodes of the show and discuss what they love, what they don't, and the lessons we can all learn from a life lived on the Hellmouth.

This is a nice podcast, but they’re extremely nitpicky. By the time they get to season 7 it was too hard to listen to them because they’re constantly bashing the show, nitpicking everything, like “where are the potential families?” Who cares??? 🙄

Ok but too much nitpicking

The only Buffy media I’ve ever seen is the 1992 Luke Perry movie, but I LOVED SMG in 2011’s Ringer. Needless to say, I’m here for the FireFly, and boy-howdy do these crazy kids deliver! Kristen is a delight as the sweet &amp; feisty pilot of this podcast, while Mike fills the laid-back calm, cool, co-pilot role expertly. Do yourselves a favor &amp; subscribe.

Shiny!

The Sunnydale Stacks: A Buffy Podcast

In Consequences, Buffy and Faith have very different ways of processing the death of the Mayor's Aide. Buffy can't take the guilt - she pleads to Faith that they confess, while Faith prefers to blame it all on her partner. The Scoobies try to confront Faith with compassion, but Wesley and the Watcher goons choose a harsher punishment. Kristen and Mike discuss the arc of the Angel/Faith relationship, and Willow's redundant melodrama.In Doppelgangland, Willow is sick and tired of being a doormat, so she jumps at the opportunity to help Anya do a spell. But something goes wrong, and the girls summon Willow's evil vampire double from another dimension! As Vamp Willow holds the Bronze clientele hostage, the Scoobies use her sweet-natured double in a trap. We examine Vamp Willow's foreshadowing, and try to resist quoting the entire episode.  iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / InstagramAbout the Show

With no other way to protect her little sister, the Slayer packs the gang into an RV and goes on the run. But it's not long before they're intercepted by The Knights of Byzantine and forced to hide out in a gas station. Giles is hurt, and Buffy calls the only doctor they know. We berate Ben for his lack of a backbone, and the Knights for their failure to compromise.PLUS!

The Killer In Me / First Date

In "Lessons", Sunnydale High has reopened and Buffy is aprehensive about Dawn's freshman year. Rightly so, because as Buffy creepily stalks the hallways, her younger sister is attacked by ghosts. When the Slayer follows her to the basement, she finds a basketcase Spike hiding there. Kristen and Mike discuss this season's upgraded technology, the uninspired baddies, and the mind-blowing ending.In "Beneath You", a Tremors-like worm is burrowing through the streets of Sunnydale, targeting innocent Nancy. As the depleted Scoobies assemble, a seemingly sane Spike arrives to offer his help. Anya confesses to turning Nancy's ex into a giant worm. So when Spike accidently stabs non-worm Ronnie, the guilt forces him into a confession. Kristen and Mike examine Spike's reaction (or lack thereof) to his Season 6 misdeeds, and offer ideas to fix the Spike-sanity-switch. iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / InstagramAbout the Show

This Year's Girl / Who Are You?

It's the gang's Freshman year at University of California, Sunnydale, and while her friends are quickly acclimating to their new surroundings, our Slayer is overwhelmed. She finds a kindred spirit in Eddie, another lost underclassman. But when Eddie goes missing, Buffy is sure there is foul play afoot. She must battle a gang of Freshman-feeding vampires all by herself. Kristen and Mike reminisce about their own college experiences - from getting lost on campus, to buying books, to overproduced posters, and friends growing apart. In Living Conditions, Buffy isn't getting along so well with her roommate - Kathy. Her maniacally peppy attitude and persistence into Buffy's personal life proves too much for the Slayer. Even though there are prophetic dreams and glowy-eyed demons to contend with, this all takes a back seat to Buffy's constant ranting against her roomie. Is Buffy losing her grip on reality?  Or is Kathy more than just an inconsiderate college Freshman?  Kristen and Mike discuss the many uses of "Bachelor Shackles", and share some roommate war stories. PLUS! We answer Raven's question: "What episode of Buffy are you most excited to discuss on the podcast?"  iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / InstagramAbout the Show

The Freshman / Living Conditions

In Never Kill a Boy on the First Date, the Master's attempts to fulfill the prophecy wreak havoc on Buffy's social life. Although to be honest, Kristen &amp; Mike aren't that charmed by the new man in her life anyways. They discuss several reasons why Owen is a problematic character and Mike realizes that once you start reading between the lines,  there might be a more sinister explanation for the guy's odd demeanor. They also question the purpose of the Anointed One, dissect the particulars of that pesky prophecy, and wax nostalgic about fruit drinks that came in wax bottles and life before cell phones.Next up is The Pack - an episode that initially seems like it might be too silly for its own good, but winds up making the most of its metaphor for the high school pecking order.  After Xander and a group of bullies are possessed by the spirit of a hyena at the local zoo, they begin to target and attack their weaker classmates. Kristen digs Xander's new look, Mike loves how realistically Willow reacts to his betrayal, they bid a fond farewell to Principal Flutie, and wonder if there's something a little icky about this episode's final scene.  iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / InstagramAbout the Show
