Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls Podcast

Bryan & Stacey

The one and only Gilmore Girls AND Buffy the Vampire Slayer podcast brought to you by comedians/real life couple Bryan Morris & Stacey Kulow. Bryan grew up obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Stacey is a huge Gilmore Girls fan, but neither of them have ever seen the other's favorite show. Together they watch their way through both excellent 7-season series, discussing an episode from each show every week, in an attempt to figure out which show is better. Bryan & Stacey are New York-based writer/performers, both born and raised in the Midwest. They met doing improv in Madison, Wisconsin and have been together for over a decade. read less

Our Editor's Take

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls Podcast is a rewatch show with a difference. The series combines one man's love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with one woman's love of Gilmore Girls. Their mission is to find out which show is best. The hosts are comedians and real-life couple Bryan Morris and Stacey Kulow. They grew up watching their own favorite TV shows, yet they had never seen each other's. This series follows the two watching and discussing each series, one episode at a time.

The first podcast episode started in 2020 with the pilots of both shows. Bryan talks about watching Buffy as a kid, stating that it "defined his life." Stacey watched Gilmore Girls between college classes on reruns. She admits that she isn't 100% sure that Bryan will enjoy her favorite show, although she's hopeful. Bryan feels sure Stacey will love Buffy because "it's great!" How have the shows aged over the years? Will the duo still enjoy them as much as they did the first time? Listeners hear the hosts' honest opinions.

By February 2023, the podcast hosts had reviewed season seven of both shows. In the "Season 7 Wrap-up," they share their favorite moments and discuss which show had the best season. As the seventh season was the end of each show, the couple also review both series in their entirety. They pick their ten favorite episodes from each show amidst much debate.

Since the podcast started, Bryan and Stacey have created a community of avid fans. In "Some Time to Reflect," they focus on social media comments. The pair asks listeners to think about the shows that have helped shape their identities. For Bryan, although he has enjoyed other shows, Buffy will always be the one that connected to him the most.

Buffy the Gilmore Slayer: A Buffy and Gilmore Girls Podcast is a relatable show discussing two iconic TV series. As a couple of comedians and an actual couple, Bryan and Stacey keep the conversations engaging. Which series will they choose as the best show? Listeners will have to follow this podcast to find out.

Seriously, this Dean character has SO much going on in his life. And we got mics! (which we need to learn to be cognizant of when rubbing each others' chests and having tummy grumbles) We'll try to be a little more careful with bumping them, and there does seem to be a slight hum, which we think we can fix in future episodes.

Weevil joins the detective business, which WOULD be going great, except he can't stop hitting people. Veronica makes a wild assumption about a single piece of stray popcorn.

Subscriber-only episodeTW: SAVeronica goes deep undercover at a sorority house, while a beloved figure from Stacey's childhood acts like a complete monster out of nowhere. Veronica's main character energy really shows, when she asks very few questions of her late-to-return-home-from the desert father. We map out Veronica's unnecessarily long walk through an office. Plus we sing you TWO test songs! The experiment we were referencing is called the Stanford Prison Experiment from the 70s. There is a recent 3-part docuseries about this on Hulu. However, what they were actually referencing in the show was what U.S. soldiers did at the Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq War.Subscribe to our Patreon to access the video version, our Discord community, plus all of our other bonus content.Send us a text
