Sue Watches Buffy (and Angel) #17 (Superstar-Eternity)

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

417What can I say about the stretch of Buffy episodes that contains Emily’s most hated episode?— We had way too much fun discussing it. Also, it seems to be Sue’s worst episode too. There is definite hope for her. We also discuss some dodgy Angel episodes.
Yeah– more then half of these episodes are terrible, but that doesn’t make for a terrible podcast. Join us while we discuss the Buffy episodes: Superstar, Where the Wild Things Are, New Moon Rising, and the Angel episodes: The Ring and Eternity. We could use the support.

76c6c8382770dee34a504eca6edfb020

What happens when Banksy visits the West Bank. (Just continuing the theme).

 

Here be the rest of our movie podcast– this time with our “sub lists” cause come on! You didn’t really think we could narrow our picks down to just 10 movies, did you? Not a chance. In this episode you will see our lists of: Movies we love but never need to see again, movies we love more then any one else we know, and you can even find out our secret shames and more… (although we spared you all our hoity- toities.)
This episode also has the feedback portion, which was actually our favorite part. Thanks to all who wrote in and shared your lists with us! It was so much fun reading them and getting to know you all better through your favorite movies. We love movies and think these lists provide a special window into your lives, and we appreciate you sharing them with us.

Happy Holidays and Happy (late) Birthday Yes Mother!

Yes Mother Special Episode: Em and Sue’s Favorite Movies

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

7e2133f8ca581508c753643f84c04b69It’s Yes Mother’s anniversary (or was a month ago), so for that we planned a special episode. We decided to share our favorite movies.
These are the movies Em and/or Sue want to curl up with on a rainy day, movies that shaped us when we were young and movies we just plain think are cool.
I had to break it up into 2 parts and struggled on how to do that. I settled for releasing just our straight up top 10, which will be followed in just a couple of days by our sides lists and YOUR lists or feedback- which is actually a longer episode.

We are putting it all out there folks- try not to make fun of us too much and we hope you still respect us in the morning. But mostly– we hope you all enjoy.

Sue Watches Angel #16 (eps: Somnambulist – Prodigal)

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

1x13So this podcast includes the episodes: Somnambulist, Expecting, She, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, and The Prodigal. We made it though this pack of tripe and I’m pretty sure Sue is still willing to keep watching. We have a dedicated newbie on our hands people. We even managed to discuss these with quite a few laughs. That’s about all I really want to say about these, I’m ready to leave them behind. If you listen to the end of our podcast however, you will be treated to a Sue dream (containing an Angel reference or two). Almost as good as her dinner with meth heads if you ask me.

Sue Watches Buffy #15 (S4: Doomed-Who Are You)

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

riley-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-1159775_321_496Here we are. Deep into Season four. Meeting Adam.  Goodbye, Iowa didn’t mean goodbye, Riley.  Yep.  All those things are true.

There are a few bright sides: 1. We are sparing you from dragging this out for 6 weeks, and we discuss these once and done. 2. Spike. 3. *spoiler alert*: someone comes back and her name rhymes with Baith. 4. Ethan Rayne 5. We have guest Bob DeGrande join us!

You join us too- lets support each other. We need it. Next eps covered are 6 Angel eps including Expecting and She. Don’t worry- we rip those off like a band aid too. Sue needs support. She needs to know it gets better and we make up for these dark days…

Sue Watches Angel #14

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

4717527_l5Here is the second half of our discussion with guest Elizabeth Smith..(if you haven’t noticed- it’s the Angel half of the discussion). We discuss: The Bachelor Party, I Will Remember You, and Hero. It’s even later on the same night we talked about the Buffy episodes and we are still giggling even though Harrie, Angel, Buffy, Bangel shippers everywhere, Cordelia and Doyle are all getting their heart’s broken.

Sue Watches Buffy #13 S4: Pangs – Hush

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

2527c110cda9a275c887930b5adfe135OOoooo…unlucky # 13 and just a few days after Halloween. But how can we be unlucky discussing Pangs, Something Blue, and Hush? We can’t– especially when you throw our guest Elizabeth Smith in the mix. I’m not going to lie- we had a lot of fun on this episode, stayed up way too late (no I didn’t get the milk afterwards but Elinor didn’t end up needing it. Thanks for asking.), we also went of a tangent or two, which I did not paste onto the end of the episode, but non are very long. We had so much fun in fact I had to cut off the recording before we got to Angel. So look for our Angel discussion coming soon…

Sue Watches Buffy (and Angel) 12: Buffy S4 eps Fear, Itself – The Initiative Angel S1 eps IFTP – S&S

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

picture-12This week Sunnydale experiences another wacky Halloween (quite seasonal) and we say goodbye to Oz forever (or do we?) we also see The Initiative capture Spike, which leads to causing him some embarrassment in Willow’s bedroom. Meanwhile on Angel, Doctors can remove their body parts all in the name of being incredibly creepily vile and Cordy gets a new apartment and things get sensitive. Ug. Well, sensitive Angel is pretty funny…

Join Em and Sue as Sue has lots of laughs and also has a struggle getting through some of these clunkers. *cough…cough…Angel…cough*

No bloopers this time. We must be getting good? No- that can’t be it.

Sue Watches Buffy (And Angel!) #11: Buffy S4 eps 1-3 and Angel S1 eps 1-3

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

10355008_10203455290875925_1484474985089492110_nWell, we at Yes Mother had our first calamity: our first recording of this disappeared so we had to record it again. But fear not! We made the best of it by inviting Paul Maki from Idjitcast and The Ghostlight Podcast to join us so we could have a fresh and new podcast and not just try to regurgitate the lost one. It worked great for the most part (I noticed we forgot to mention a few key things the second time around. Nothing catastophic, but if some favorite parts about the episode are missing in our discussion, just be sure we talked about it once upon a time and that it was brilliant and insightful.)

In this episode we discuss the beginnings of Buffy season 4, we share a few roommate horrors, Emily thinks thai stick is just really good chicken satay (I’m a Mormon people! What do you want from me??), and we glory in the return of Spike… and Harm. Oh- and we introduce Sue to Angel’s series. I wonder what she thought of that…

Join us!

By the way… sorry it’s been so long, but that would be on account of the stupid lost recording, but we will have the next one up very soon- I’m looking at it right now on my computer.  It’s there!

Yes Mother: What We’ve Been Watching autumn

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

2158Just an update on what Em and Sue have been watching. It’s mostly Sue though, as Emily has been lame and hasn’t been watching much (She also forgot her notes and therefore forgot she watched Saved By the Bell: The Unauthorized Story! You guys were cheated out of finding out how that went.) Anyway, Sue made up for it as she has watched a lot. Too much to list here, but some highlights include: Hello Ladies, Serenity, Derek season 2, Lady in a Cage, and the finale of Tru Blood.
