Bates Podcast Leave a comment

Buffy-Series-3-Graduation-day-Part2-nicholas-brendon-6713092-1124-842Well, gosh- put on your graduation caps and robes and come revisit Sunnydale Class of ’99 with Em and Sue as we watch the finale of season 3. We have many goodbyes in this episode: we say goodbye to Sunnydale High, the mayor in his human form (and demon form, for that matter), conscious Faith , Angel and his relationship with Buffy (yippee!), the library, Snyder, Harmony (…seriously Sue- she died), the soda machine that gives you Coke when you push root beer, listen to me… I sound like Willow. We are actually excited to move on to season 4 with all it’s mysteries it may contain, we get a new show to watch, etc. It’s all good.

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

promThis week, Em and Sue watched The Buffy Episodes: Earshot, Choices, and The Prom. Despite having a terrible cold, Em forged through and kept her voice for far longer than she thought possible as they giggled through talking about these episodes. The end of high school and season 3 is in the air, and find out what Sue thinks about the winding down of a very popular season of Buffy.

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

Buffy-Faith-buffy-vs-faith-5981410-450-338This week Sue watched Bad Girls, Consequences, Doppelgangland, and Enemies and was thus introduced to Bad Faith. How did she take it? Did she enjoy seeing her old pal Angelus again? To help Emily unravel the answers to these questions and more, we were joined by our Bates Motel room 1 resident Harold!

Tangents at the end and still a few tangents throughout. Hey! It was our first guest and we like to talk.

Em and Sue are back again with another installment- this time we watched Amends, Gingerbread, Helpless, and The Zeppo (or The Shemp if you happen to get confused by your old timey trios). We don’t know anyone like that though.

 

 

If you stay after the music, you can listen to Em and Sue wax nostalgic about Robin Williams for a bit.o-captain

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

PsychoIIHey guys- We took a break from Buffy and watched the 1983 sequel: Psycho II. We also discussed a little of what we’ve been watching lately including: The Conjuring and The Innkeepers (which we watched together while visiting our other sisters), Em watched Orange is the New Black, Frank and Robot, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer The Movie. Sue watched True Blood, rewatched 6 Feet Under, Done the Impossible, Odd Thomas, and An Idiot Abroad.

Come join us! By the way… if you’re only interested in Psycho II (and who wouldn’t be???) our discussion on it starts almost exactly at the 1:00:00 mark).

Yes Mother: What We’ve Been Watching, Summer Edition

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

Hey guys- so we recorded this ages ago, but we were smoking the Buffy episodes, so it kept getting put on the back burner. I had edited it way back a ways too, so I honestly don’t remember much about what is discussed, so lets just make it a surprise for all of us huh?  Ah summer, it does this to me.

Sue Watches Buffy #04

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

buffy221-buffy2Em and Sue are moving right along as they wrap up season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s another super sized episode as they discuss the episodes Killed by Death, I Only Have Eyes For You (nope, no literal eyeballs Sue- you’ll have to wait for Angel for that-), Go Fish, and The two-parter Becoming.

Sue enjoyed this batch of episodes as we all must have figured she might, but did she find it in her heart to forgive Angel of his transgressions and did she switch to Team Bangel? Uh- doubtful. Join us as we try to pull Sue into the pleasant, yet dank, sunless rabbit hole that is Buffy.

Sue Watches Buffy #3

Bates Podcast Leave a comment

IMG_1651In this installment, Sue and Em discuss the epic episode run that is Surprise to Passion and find out if Buffy (and Angel) managed to surprise Sue. We tackle subjects you’d expect like the relationships in the show, how much of a d-bag is Angel? and can he ever come back from this or did he reach the point of no return? Also did Emily play another Captain and Tennille song? (She wouldn’t want any of her listeners to be culture free.)

Come listen and hear newbie Sue’s reactions to these great episodes and find out if she can come up with any theories on where we might go from here.

Sorry for the supersized podcast this week, but any one who has seen these episodes probably understands— perhaps you might want to break it up into a couple listens. Beep! If you stay until the end, you can get a taste of what it’s like podcasting when you have family.
