Join us as we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4, episode 9, "Something Blue," and Angel season 1, episode 9, “Hero."

Superfans: Selina and Natalie
Newbies: Kristen and Brittany

Fun Facts:
Kristen gets to spend some time bonding with her brother who is in town, while Natalie enjoys the lingering joy of watching James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter on Supernatural. Brittany had a hard time watching Angel because she is afraid of the demon faces (trypophobia... it's real). Selina requested to be on this week because of all things ANGEL!
