What's This Bitch Talking About? Earshot

new ep is up, y'all.

What's This Bitch Talking About? PerCast

I don't know if it's a thing to call podcast episodes about personal shit PerCasts, but I did it, and here it is.

What's This Bitch Talking About? Enemies

This episode is a good example of why, ultimately, Buffy is not a feminist show. Buffy as a character is never shown to be cultivating female friendships, except with Willow. Willow is largely a "yes" friend that doesn't challenge Buffy's choices or provide any kind of "competition" for her. Any woman that presents as an equal to Buffy is rejected. Further, any woman that isn't seen as an equal (that isn't Willow) is largely ignored by Buffy (Tara, Anya, Cordelia, etc) and often met with bald disdain from her. Faith was never let into the Scooby Gang fully, ultimately because Buffy first didn't accept her. She saw her as a rival and never let her in. She won't even have a real conversation with Faith, ever. She will ONLY talk business, and always reluctantly. In retrospect, perhaps Dawn was the show's answer to this inherent sexism built into Buffy's character. Dawn was placed into the show's arc to be a "rival" to Buffy that she can't reject. She is forced to deal with her sexism to learn to love and protect her sister. It would have been really great to see Faith and Buffy truly rekindling a friendship when she returned in season 7, but we don't get that. We get like two conversations between the two of them wherein Faith keeps her distance and they show a reluctant respect for one another. Buffy is a character that largely interacts with men...white men. It's my favorite show, too. It makes me sad.

What's This Bitch Talking About? Consequences

Ok, here we go. Time to talk about all the ways in which we, as a society, fail Faith Lehane.

What's This Bitch Talking About? The Zeppo

Time to contemplate an entire episode from Xander's POV. Is he delusional? Is he a hero? Did Faith make him a "man"? All these questions and more will be answered in my super-insightful podcast. ;)

What's This Bitch Talking About? Helpless

Most sexist episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? But maybe that was the point?

What's This Bitch Talking About? Gingerbread

This episode, I do a little watch-along with you. I've decided the best way to react to "Gingerbread" is to create complicated point systems to determine things like Joyce's "badness level". Yes, I am an excellent podcaster.

What's This Bitch Talking About? Lovers Walk

Lovers Walk. Drusilla has walked away from Spike. Willow walks away from Xander. Cordelia walks away from Xander. Oz walks away from Willow. Buffy walks away from Angel. Some of these creatures will reconcile, however ill-advised.

 

What's This Bitch Talking About? Revelations

Buffy has been keeping a BIG secret. Now everyone knows and they are real mad at her.

What's This Bitch Talking About? Anne

We're FINALLY back to talk about season 3 after a looooooooong ass summer. In this episode of the podcast, I address the Joss-is-an-asshole situation, so it is quite lengthy.

Thanks for listening, my mixtresses, mixters, and mixteries!

What's This Bitch Talking About? The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions

The Matrix movies have a LOT to unpack. My mom and I couldn't do it in a couple of podcast episodes.

I have a theory about Sati. I used to think she was "The One". But the "path of the One ends" when Neo returns to the Source in the second movie. So perhaps Sati plays an even bigger role than some dumb old messiah could. I. Want. To. See. The. Sati. Trilogy! Now! Love her.

Here's the podcast:
