Becoming Buffy is a rewatch podcast of the famous 1990s teen adventure drama. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was first a movie, and then a TV series. The three hosts, who are avid fans, rewatch the TV show and analyze it, one episode at a time.

Each installment of the podcast includes two parts. The first is about an hour, where the hosts talk only about the episode in question. They examine the plot, character development, monster of the week, and more. In the second part, which lasts around 30 minutes, they talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a whole. The hosts call that segment "Scooby Secrets." That's where the three explore what details in the episode are foreshadowing and important for future narratives. This set format allows for both new watchers and veteran fans to enjoy the show.

The podcast hosts, Sarah, Tabby, and Leah, have similar experiences with Buffy. They began watching the show in high school and returned to it during college. The three sisters found that the story grew alongside them. They relate to the characters in every stage of their lives. Even after years, new details excite them. Most of all, they appreciate the representation of a teenage girl in the show. Especially at that time, it was hard to find an empowering portrayal of a young female protagonist.

Becoming Buffy investigates every aspect of the episodes and the motivations behind them. The hosts discuss topics like the reasoning behind music choices in a specific scene. They also explain how certain lighting contributes to the mood and the tone. Of course, the three talk about the various characters and their arcs. They make sure to include everyone, as the hosts find all to be complex and compelling.

Moreover, Becoming Buffy strives to be as accurate as possible. The hosts provide research details about the writing, directing, and production process. All of this, they hope, will contribute to the watching experience. When listeners decide to review the series again, they can see it with a new perspective.
