I owe you pain!

Lani and Noelle talk about the long-tail effects of Willow’s rush to black-eyed, level 30 mage in Tough Love (S5.19).

Vampires of the world, beware!

What does the BuffyBot say about the complexity of Spike’s love? Lani and Noelle try to figure it out in Intervention (S5.18).

We are freakin’ robots.

For the LMD arc, Joshua points out two knock-off Captains America as well as the shell game that is LMDs and Doombots in the 616. Then Lani leads the conversation about identity, bad girl shenanigans, ill conceived ships, and the missed opportunities in LMD.

We liked the lady.

It’s coding, love stories vs. romance, and Spike as the essence of ride or die in Forever (S5.17).

Lani and Noelle process the five one-act plays of grief in “The Body” (S5.16).

We know what a good light source is. A guy with a flaming head.

It’s a vengeance fueled story arc on Agents of SHIELD as they introduce GHOST RIDER! Joshua and Lani dive into the more mystical end of the Marvel comics before freaking out about how cool a flaming skull in a Dodge Charger is. 

“‘Crying is blackmail. Good girlfriends don’t cry,’ is the girlfriend catechism,” is a thing Noelle said in this week’s episode, talking about the deep philosophical questions inspired by the sci-fi in I Was Made to Love You (S5.15).

So you need to listen.

We’re running. Very Fast. Away.

Just like real life, it is a cavalcade of difficult topics for Joshua and Lani discuss. Slavery, both fictional and otherwise, the misuse of police powers, and more are mixed into the usual, and enjoyable, spy and relationship shenanigans.
