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.

Getting the Part

Getting the Part

Firefly Episode 8 "Out of Gas"/Bunheads Episode 8 "Blank Up, It's Time"Malcom disparately needs to find a part in order to save his crew. Meanwhile Boo receives a part completely out of the blue. We learn that Inara has almost as many rules as Fanny, and that some of both their rules have recently been broken. We learn that Zoë was initially not a fan of Wash, so perhaps there's hope for Boo to come around on Carl. Gadot is not in this episode of Bunheads, but a version of him showed up in this week's Firefly. Stacey learns the word boff, something both Michelle and Kaylee partake in this episode.

Bunheads Episode 7 "What's Your Damage, Heather?"/Firefly Episode 7 "Jaynestown"One's a familiar face from Jayne's past, back for revenge. The other's a familiar face from our Gilmore Slayer past, back as a sh*tty plumber, and they both have one eye. Coincidence, Amy!?! It's hard to imagine which smells worse, Fanny's mildewy dressing room, or Jayne's muddy planet. Also which is more disgusting, mudder's milk or that fried food buffet the bunheads consumed. Neither Michelle nor the Magistrate's son feel like grownups, and later both Sasha and the Magistrate's son act out in a big way to get adults to notice them.

Bunheads Episode 5 "Money for Nothing"/Firefly Episode 5 "Safe"This week the bunheads AND River get to express themselves through dance, at least until the forces of evil enter. For River, evil is kidnappers; for the bunheads, it's grocery bags. Malcom negotiates a fair price for the cows he's been flying around, while Michelle negotiates her way into a teen hangout after she can't negotiate financial sense into Fanny. We meet more family members of both Simon and Rico, who've both made notable fashion choices. River almost gets burnt at the stake. Boo should probably burn her clothes.
