Join us as we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 3, episode 13, “The Zeppo” and episode 14 “Bad Girls.”

Superfans: Selina and Karen
Newbies: Kristen and Mitch

Fun Facts:

Karen is a traveling fool who slept with the windows open in NYC and caught some city gunk, but she also saw X-Men: Apocalypse and loved it. Mitch gives a glowing recommendation for AirB&B. Kristen bought Batman stamps and is super excited about them. Selina once had a dog named Zippo, which is almost Zeppo, so it's topical.

We have a bit of a discussion about this whole Zeppo business to Mitch who was super confused.

-Buffy wants to walk on the Faith side of things for a bit.
-This episode was all about Buffy trying to feel free rather than be weighed down by guilt and worry.
