Be Excellent To Each Other

Some kind of live stage show

If you look on the "Discussions" tab it doesn't look like it's going very well.

The not-bad-at-all podcast "Pop Culture Role Call" has the hosts talking about an episode of Buffy each week, but each of them has a 'character' from the show and they only watch scenes that their character was in. Only one of them has seen Buffy before (the 'Xander' character. They all hate Xander, as is proper).

Anyway, this week they finally get to The Body, which I've been waiting for pretty much since it started.
I am having great schadenfreude joy hearing how devastated they all are and agreeing when they say how clever an episode it is with the switch from dolly cameras to handhelds and the lack of any background audio.

"And it's so sad and then Anya says... Anya says, ah damnit, I wasn't going to cry," says a podcaster.
"Ho ho! You're so unhappy!" rejoyces Grim...'s brain, which - now that he's come to write this down - is a little odd, but anyway.
"Anya makes this speech, and it's amazing and it blows the room away," says the podcaster.
"Ha ha! Yes, it was amazing, and very moving," thinks Grim...'s brain.
"So anyway I wrote it down, and here it is," said the podcaster.
"Oh no," says Grim...'s brain, making its stupid useless meatbag look around at the crowded train, and firing another jolt of hell up his spine FOR FUCKING LULZ.
"I don't understand how this all happens."
"Oh no!"
"How we go through this. I mean I knew her, and the she's... there's just a body."
"Turn it off!"
"And I don't understand why she can't just get back in it and not be dead anymore."
"TURN IT OFF!"
"It's stupid! It's mortal and stupid. And Xander's crying and not talking, and I was having fruit..."
"TOO LATE, DICK-FINGERS!"

I came to post the fact that I have just started watching Buffy (having only watched bits and bobs in the past).

I have just watched the first two episodes in fact.

I was going to say that it remains exceedingly funny. It's aged much better than I expected.

I was going to say that it feels super low budget, especially the action sequences or anything involving acrobats.

But then I see someone got in there first, 9 years ago.

That said, Cordelia is not hot. She actually looks a bit like a vampire.

In other news, when did I get so old? They look like children in this, yet when I first watched it, I always thought it laughable that these actors might be considered teenagers. David Borneazizaz especially looks like a slip of a boy.

Anyway, I wish my daughter was a bit older as I'd love to watch this with her for the first time, as I know she'd already find it hilarious, but would find the monsters scary.

No, Cordelia is hot. HTH.

You know what always stands out to me in the first episode? Two 'teenage' girls thinking James Spader is hot.

Not on my watch.

Don't forget that at that time James Spader was Daniel Jackson from Stargate.

We'll, you're right. All the girls in my school went crazy for Stargate.
