Our Editor's Take

The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcast is a fun listen for any fan of the beloved TV series. The hosts on the show rewatch all the episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Buffy fans will enjoy this podcast, but true crime fans may also like it. That's because the hosts of Morbid: A True Crime Podcast also host this program. Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart are The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer hosts. Well, Alaina is rewatching the show. Ash had not seen a single episode of the suspense show before this podcast. So the two friends have different perspectives here. But that's what makes this podcast compelling to listen to.

The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer talks about everything related to the TV show. That includes Sunnydale High, Buffy, Angel, Willow, and the rest of the cast. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a 1992 comedic movie that was a modest success. Creator Joss Whedon made the character and the plot a little more dramatic and created the TV show of the same name in 1997. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the title character. The show lasted until 2003. It became one of the few TV shows to be much more popular than the movie it came from.

Ash and Alaina start The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer with "Welcome to the Hellmouth." That's the name of their first podcast episode as well as the first episode of the TV show. The hosts plan on going through all 144 episodes of the TV show. In each of the podcast's episodes, they keep it light and fun as they discuss the plot.

The Rewatcher: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fun podcast about a classic TV show. Ash and Alaina make new episodes each week.
