This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re facing our fears with Season 1, Episode 10 — “Nightmares.” What starts as a run-of-the-mill Sunnydale day quickly spirals into full-on subconscious horror as everyone’s worst fears start coming true. Homework, clowns, spiders, and deeply buried trauma? Absolutely not.

We break down Buffy’s terrifying confrontation with her own doubts, fear of public humiliation (relatable), and how this episode quietly deepens the emotional stakes of Season 1 while still delivering peak monster-of-the-week weirdness. Plus: why this episode hits harder than it has any right to this early in the series.

Grab your crucifix, face your inner demons, and maybe avoid the basement — it’s Buffy at its darkest, strangest, and most psychologically revealing yet.

Slay along with us every Tuesday!Watch Episode 11: “Out of Mind, Out of Sight” before next week — and until next Tuesday… if the apocalypse comes, beep us!

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re taking the stage with Season 1, Episode 9 — “The Puppet Show.” Sunnydale High hosts a talent show (already a red flag), Principal Snyder makes his unforgettable debut, and somehow a ventriloquist dummy becomes suspect number one in a string of very real murders. Peak early-Buffy chaos.

We break down Buffy’s suspicion of Sid the puppet, Giles’ descent into talent-show-director hell, and why this episode works so well as a classic Season 1 monster-of-the-week entry.

Grab your spotlight, your wooden stake, and try not to heckle the performers — it’s Buffy at its creepiest, goofiest, and most surprisingly sincere.

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re jacking into Season 1’s most chaotic tech adventure — “I, Robot… You, Jane.” From cursed chatrooms to early days internet drama (peak 90s energy!), this episode gives us Buffy’s first true “the internet is evil” storyline… and honestly? Moloch is serving big Reddit-mod-gone-wrong vibes.

We break down Willow’s ill-fated digital romance, Jenny Calendar’s unforgettable entrance into the Scooby dynamic, and why this episode is secretly a huge turning point for Giles’ relationships with both tech and Ms. Calendar herself. Plus, we talk monster-of-the-week structure, early-series character building, and what absolutely does not hold up in 2025.

Grab your stake, your modem, and maybe don’t talk to strangers online — it's Buffy Season 1 at its most wonderfully weird.
