This is a great podcast, especially if you were a fan of these tv shows years ago as a teen. Find myself often laughing out loud at their analysis. I just watched the first episode of off campus and I NEED to hear their take on it, that one next?

I think the guys are having a fun time watching and reviewing the episodes. It started out a little rough, and it seems like they have very little context of the 90s and sci-fi/fantasy shows. Once the show hits its stride, it seems like the boys are a lot more open to the fun and quirky elements of the series. However, the boys seem to miss a lot of plot elements, and call out aspects of the episodes that have clearly been established. They tend to be more worried about nitpicking random beats (ex: “why would a kid with brain cancer miss half the school year?” Which has an obvious answer), then really diving into character or emotional beats. I’ll continue listening and update this review!

Edit: so I did come back, and I feel like the nit picking has gone down, and it has been much more of a fun positive experience. But again, you might want to get into the show before listening. At episode 16 of the vm podcast now. Funny guys, BUT they take all the fun out of Veronica Mars - if you love VM, I don’t recommend. Yes, the show is ridiculous some times, but I didn’t want to hear 2 hours of complaints about each episode. I was looking for a podcast to feel like I had someone to talk to about this show (first time watching and I became obsessed, and no one else is watching it now). To be fair, I only got to episode 11, but I think I’m done. I will likely come back once I’m don’t the series. It’s just not great if you want to enjoy the show the first time around.

Im always cracking up with Vance and Joe. They provide the context and great banter about this overwhelmingly ridiculous awesome show!

Queen C from Discord here to update my previous positive Buffy review to include Veronica Mars. I’m a long time Marshmallow and was thrilled when the boys decided to review. I have not been disappointed! They bring humor and insight to every episode. The sheer exasperation at the insanity of the show is so entertaining. Keep on talking boys and I will be listening. There’s at least one fan in Chicago - and yes, that’s me!

Funny!

The hosts seem to find the physical abuse of children quite funny. I really don’t.

I recently switched from Spotify and wanted to bring a fresh 5-star review over with me! I started listening because of my love for Buffy and have found a new favorite in Veronica Mars thanks to the show!

The Boys give fun and interesting run downs of TV shows . Currently they’re doing Veronica mars , before that firefly and Buffy . Even if you haven’t watched the shows or it’s been awhile the conversation is engaging enough that it shouldn’t matter . They haves great discord community and a very worthwhile Patreon . 5/5 stars ! Now give me my sh sh sh shoutout - Marksiwel

This is by far my favorite podcast! I have loved listening as the boys watched Buffy and now Veronica Mars. They are both hilarious and have great chemistry! I love Joe’s scene-by-scene storytelling and general goofiness…and I also love when Vance clarifies that Joe is speaking so Joe’s comments are not associated with Vance. Top tier listening!

Started listening because of the episode they did with Buffy the Gilmore slayer. Am currently on episode 87, I listen in 2x speed because I’m insane. But listening to the boys laugh and giggle that quickly brings me joy. Just joined the discord ✌🏻 highly recommend.

I’m on the penultimate episode of Buffy, season 7 and am finally writing a review. The Boys bring hilarity, honesty, and play so well off of each other through the entire podcast. I think they give fair assessments of the characters and their commentary about the show’s absurdity just adds to the camp of the show. I also finished their Firefly series, and started watching Veronica Mars so I could listen to that podcast. Both of those are also great.

This is not my first Buffy or Veronica Mars podcast, but it is the first one where the hosts haven’t seen the show before which adds such a fun perspective. You can tell they love the show(s) and how much fun they’re having.

Are you going to watch the Veronica mars the movie too?

This is my 4th btvs rewatch with a podcast and this podcast intentionally brings a new perspective to the Buffyverse. It’s highly entertaining to hear them flabbergasted about the logic gaps but be reassured -they like the show! They built a great community on discord and it gets me thinking about perspectives I didn’t think about before. If you enjoyed the Big Bang theory ep where the ladies discuss the logic of Thor’s hammer, then this podcast is for you.

You guys are funny, smart, and snarky, and I love the way you point out the inconsistencies and ridiculousness the way I do, but Firefly itself just isn’t good. ( I know, I know. That’s heresy when you love Buffy. ) I’ve tried with Firefly many times and it just never worked for me. You guys are making it a little more palatable, but … Here’s my pitch: Do Riverdale next. You won’t be disappointed. It’s absolutely bonkers.

For 2 self-professed nitpickers, these two are highly entertaining and very funny. Sometimes I have nit-picks about their nit-picks, but, as they like to say “I like the show.” I also think they make some very good and insightful points, probably because they are nit-pickers, especially for two guys who are watching for the first time. I definitely look forward to watching each week. Thanks!

You guys have been amazing from the jump. Really going to miss you two talking about the show and being hypercritical of it. I know it’s all in good fun. Looking forward to what you do going forward. Now take a nap for about a week and cheers!

I am a 46 year old mom of two teenage boys who cringe at the fact that I not only am a huge Buffy fan but that I love it so much to rewatch all the episodes along side Joe and Vance. I LOVE the details, commentary and questions that are asked about characters and plot lines- legit laugh out loud moments. This podcast sweeps me back to the early 2000’s when I was crushing on Spike and would give anything to slay like Buffy. Thank you for all you both do- it’s the best Buffy podcast out there and I can’t wait to get into Boys Watching Angel next. Julie (RunSlayer78) - also obsessed with running, see what I did there? 😃

I have had so much fun listening to this podcast. I started when you guys were finishing season 3 and binged until I caught up. You guys got me through two pregnancies and now during my “nap time” down time and my drives to and from work. I am subscribed to Patreon and am on discord so it’s not good bye just yet! Can’t wait to hear what your plans are for your next Podcast. You guys are awesome!

Great podcast! Highly recommend.

It’s like watching the show with ranty friends. Team Xuffy!!!

Love the podcast, love the Boys. I have laughed out loud so many times while driving, they’re a part of my morning routine and now I feel like I can’t even get going without them! Love the discord- even though I am not very active (sortasadmushroom). They are honest in their assessment of episodes and willing to be corrected/learn more. They’re hilarious and smart and THEY LIKE THE SHOW.

If you’re looking for some fresh perspectives on your favorite show, this is the pod for you! I’ve been watching Buffy since I was way too young, and I’ve been ripping through Buffy pods left and right. This is a really unique one because neither of the hosts have seen the show, so everything is new for them, which is really fun. They also have a Discord where their unhinged Buffy fanatic listeners like myself can chat! I give this pod five by five stakes!

I have been watching BTVS since I was teenager in the 90s. I have tried other Buffy podcasts but this is the best one. The Boys treat the show with respect and are interactive with their fans. I find myself silently agreeing with Vance(most of the time). It’s great!

I’ve listened to multiple Buffy podcasts but this one is my favorite by far. The Boys provide a unique perspective that comes from what I consider to be an average person’s point of view. They call out the ridiculousness of the show…let’s be honest…it’s a show about vampires and demons. But they also give credit where it’s due and obviously love the show. The Boys make me laugh and lead me to think about the show in a way I hadn’t previously considered. I love everything about it!

Love the boys! Love Buffy! -Lindsay M.

Not just doing it for the sha-sha-sha-shoutout!

Joe and Vance, I have to say this is my favorite Buffy podcast. I’ve tried listening to others but they seemed to bore me. I love that you guys BOTH haven’t watched the show before, I think that’s key because I really enjoy listening to your predictions and questions - how are you guys right most of the time?! For anyone unsure if this is just another Buffy podcast or something better - give it a listen you won’t be disappointed. Join the Discord as well, there’s a lot of funny and also serious discussions on there, and we can’t forget Joe’s Fashion Corner. They also have a Patreon watching Angel and it’s reasonably priced for anyone looking to listen to both at the same time! I’m so glad I found this podcast I listen to it everyday and I will be sad when it’s over but I’ll definitely be listening to your next projects!

Listening to these guys experience BTVS for the first time has been awesome! The predictions crack me up! And sometimes they are spot on. This is hands down the best Buffy podcast!!

Habitual rewatcher here and it has been an absolute delight listening to Joe & Vance discover the awesomeness that is BTVS. Hearing a new perspective makes a comfort show bright and shiny again. Shoutout to my sister who is always annoyingly right when it comes to my entertainment choices!

i found this podcast through reddit & it has become my favorite buffy podcast! i enjoy listening weekly & jumping back and forth between my personal favorite episodes to see your guys’ thoughts on them. (oh, the title is a joke if you couldn’t tell) i enjoy lurking in the discord (@/asketchygrandma) and look forward to your next series!! thank you for making this podcast!!

It’s so fun reliving the first-watch surprises in Buffy and Angel!

S1 was a bit flat (but so is buffyS1) but listening to these guys fall in love with the show is so satisfying!!!!! Love it!

Buffy is a my On Human Bondage (s.4 e.1), whether it’s a full blown rewatch, an episode here or there, or falling asleep to the show. Listening to the Boys share their predictions, opinions, and summaries is an amusing experience. My favorite parts are when Joe completely mis-summarizes a scene and Vance jumps in to clarify. It makes me laugh. I also laugh at their inability to remember it’s *Hostile* 17. Predictions are eerily accurate. I like Joe and Vance and am so close to signing up for the Patreon. I need to hear what they have to say about Angel! Cheers, guys!

As a Boomer who loves Buffy I have to say These guys Rock!! I’ve been a Buffy fan since it’s first airing and these guys always put a smile on my face 🤩🤩 Just finished listening to the 1st 3 season reviews Looking forward to the next 4 . cheers!

What makes this podcast stand out from all of the other Buffy podcasts is that neither of these guys has ever watched Buffy before. So instead of listening to the same old stories we’ve all heard before, we get to listen to two people who are watching Buffy for the first time. The boys are hilarious and insightful. I love their predictions and I look forward to listening to new episodes of this podcast each week.

I loved the moment these two admitted they liked the show. Even though it's ridiculous at times

If you love Buffy and love comedy and reviews you gotta listen to the boys.

Their chemistry is awesome, and I love how they slowly fall in love with the show I’ve loved since high school. Give them some time to learn the rules of the lore and you’ll love it! - Cortney

I’ve gotta start with the fact that I’ve been watching this since episode 3….and am just now writing a review. Sorry! But I am so addicted!! I need background noise to concentrate on tasks, so I use your podcast to help me stay productive. I’ve relistened to the whole series so far at least 3 times. I didn’t appreciate your comment on episode 2 of Darla being a stupid name that nobody uses anymore Lol My name is Darla 😁 You guys are awesome and I’m enjoying the heck out of your podcast!!

I heard about BWB late last year, and binged 5+ seasons in about a month. I listen to what some may consider an unhealthy number of Buffy podcasts, and this one is in my top two! The boys consistently make me laugh out loud in my car (or at my desk at work,) and they also occasionally make points about the show that I have never thought of before. A must for any Buffy die-hard

I love the experience of slowly hearing someone fall in love with a show I’ve loved for decades! That and hearing brand new perspectives that I assumed wasn’t possible to do after having watched the show dozens of times before.

This is such a fun podcast. I listen at work and it makes my day so much better.

I can’t wait for yall to see how the series wraps up!! Hearing all of your questions about unanswered plot holes…..you guys are going to be so 👏🏻fulfilled 👏🏻.

Buffy is my favorite show and always had been. I love this podcast so much, just found out about it a few weeks ago and I’m already to their season 5 episodes. Thank you so much for giving this show a chance and for making me laugh!

…just finished ep 39 Homecoming and you said if we lasted this far to review. Having seen the show before, and also listening to The Rewatcher, I am really enjoying listening to the both of you watch for the first time.. most of my work day is listening and commenting back on the things you get wrong (sooo fun) and the guesses as to how that world works!! Next ep is Band Candy and I cannot WAIT to hear your reactions!!

I don’t know these lads, but I’m so glad I found them. These dudes say some of the things my partner and I said last year when we watched the show for the first time, the early mention of flatlining to get more slayers comes to mind 😂 I love Buffy, I love this show. You guys are awesome, so excited to hear your takes on some of the wild stuff to come!

I have watched BTVS more times than I can count. I watched it when it first came out, as a teenager, I’ve watched it a bunch as a young adult and even now in my mid 30s, I still watch it. It’s one of those shows I can put on whenever I want to zone out, so I’m very familiar with it and have a lot of emotions tied to it… which also makes me incredibly biased! I have a very liberal suspension of disbelief when it comes to Buffy. I stumbled on this podcast and I have really enjoyed listening to not only first time watchers, but adult men commenting on all the silly things that I choose to ignore. It’s kind of like I’ve found a new way to watch Buffy, to realize (and acknowledge) some of just the crazy plot armor tactics and logistical improbabilities; it’s cool to hear a brand new perspective. Also, as someone who knows what’s going to happen, I’m so excited for the Boys and when they discover an answer to their question, prediction or theory! Id definitely suggest this podcast to anyone who loves Buffy. Also, with their Discord discussion, it’s really cool to interact with other fans, and you can definitely tell the Boys LIKE THE SHOW!! :)

This is the podcast I recommend to all my Buffy friends. Rewatching with the boys is the closest thing I’ve experienced to watching the show again for the first time. Also, the community that’s grown from the pod is the best Buddy community around right now. Everyone is super friendly and respectful. Keep on rocking, boys!
