EPISODE 1: THE CENTRE OF EVIL (S01E01 “Welcome to the Hellmouth”)
“It’s my first day. I was afraid that I was gonna be behind on all my classes, that I wouldn’t make any friends, that I would have last month’s hair. I didn’t think there’d be vampires on campus.”
In our pilot episode we introduce you to Brian and Joel, the Buffy Boys! and your hosts for this queer literary meander through the seminal feminist fantasy TV series - ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’. The Boys lay out how they both got involved with Buffy and dive in with Season 1, Episode 1: “Welcome to the Hellmouth”.
Key Buffy Bits from this episode include:
Getting the Bechdel Test out of the way
Women, and why they’re amazing
Coding things as queer in the retrospective
Techno-paganism
Is Willow more of a lesbian or a witch?
“James Spader needs to call me”
