- Disappointed
I wanted to love this show because I was a huge BTVS and Angel fan. But this show gets more confusing with each episode. The most recent one was 6 minutes with no intro! I didn’t realize until I read other reviews that it’s because she is almost exclusively on Patreon. Unsubscribing.

United States2 months ago - If you’re a Trumper how are you a Buffy fan?
Okay so I’m sorry to delve into politics here but I needed to write this review specifically as a response to Csebesta84. If you watched Buffy and you think ANY of the characters would be MAGA you are sorely mistaken. (Well, maybe the Mayor. For sure Snyder. I’m on the fence with Xander.) In that vein if you’re offended that Carpenter calls out the modern atrocities as she sees them…then perhaps you should find a show about a conservative woman that takes on human and supernatural forms of the p... more

I see new episodes on YouTube, but not here.
Apple Podcasts5Wb's recUnited States2 months ago - I want this to work soo much
I really want to enjoy this but I cannot stand how abruptly the episodes end. I get that you want people to watch on Patreon but that shouldn’t take away from the experience on here. How hard would it be to just stick a message at the end “Thanks for tuning in, I hope you join me for the next episode. If you need or want more join us on Patreon!”
Apple Podcasts2Hann3835United States4 months ago - I really wanted to like this, but…
The podcast is incredibly clunky. She writes out everything she is going to say, and reads it poorly. Very hard to listen to and follow. She needs a co-podcaster so she can have more natural discussions and not be so clunky.
