Insane Troll Logic: A Buffyverse Podcast

Episode 203: Reptile Boy/Halloween

Insane Troll Logic covers two more Buffy episodes from season two: Reptile Boy and Halloween. Nathaniel and Maggie comment on how Reptile Boy is fun and has good character building moments (while being very problematic), and how Halloween is really neat but kinda uneven thematically. They also discuss "filler episodes," underutilized characters and talk about Giles a lot. As they love to do.

Episode 202: School Hard/Inca Mummy Girl

This week on Insane Troll Logic, Maggie and Nathaniel struggle with keeping their thoughts on Spike and Drusilla contained to their current incarnations and not several seasons worth of characterization, and also there's the uncomfortable racism of Inca Mummy Girl. But mostly Spike and Dru.

Episode 201: When She Was Bad/Some Assembly Required

This week, Maggie and Nathaniel begin their arduous trek through season 2 of Buffy with When She Was Bad and Some Assembly Required. Nathaniel tries to battle off a plague and focus on the intensity of Buffy's emotional rampage against her friends and neighbors, while Maggie talks PTSD and the radicalization of young men. Also, the couplings of many major characters are talked about.

Episode 106: Out of Sight, Out of Mind/Prophecy Girl

Maggie and Nathaniel wrap up season one of Buffy with a pair of "bangers" (Maggie's words). Maggie enthuses about "Out of Mind" guest star Clea Duvall and  compares Prophecy Girl with The Movie, while Nathaniel talks earned consequences and how Prophecy Girl is a sequel to "Never Kill A Boy," and other weird conversations occur. As usual.

Episode 105: Puppet Show/Nightmares

Insane Troll Logic talks basic fears with a new episode discussing two late-season entries into the first season of Buffy! Nathaniel talks theater, and inappropriate violence, while Maggie talks incel dummies, vamp makeup and they both like Giles a lot! Come discuss primal fear with Insane Troll Logic!

Episode 104: Angel/I Robot,You Jane

This week, We cover two more Buffy episodes: first, they discuss the romance and kink of "Angel," and then the awkward and silly of "I Robot, You Jane." So come get Jacked In with Insane Troll Logic and enjoy moments such as Maggie discussing power dynamics and the proliferation of technology while Nathaniel wonders just where, exactly, Jenny Calendar hangs that earring. 

Episode 103: Never Kill A Boy On The First Date/The Pack

This week, we deal with Owen-y issues like red flag behavior from guys and hyena spirits. Nathaniel makes bad jokes, Maggie has issues with Owen, and they both get (appropriately) disgusted by The Pack.  Comic adaptations, musical choices, and favorite seasons are also talked about, but not as much. 
 
*Content Warning* The Pack features elements of sexual assault, and it is discussed on this episode

Episode 102: Witch/Teacher's Pet

We settle a little into a rhythm and have a good time talking episodes three and four of Buffy. Nathaniel suggests Witch could be a good feel-bad A24 movie, Maggie hates Xander, Nathaniel hates Xander...but they both love Dr.Gregory. 

Episode 101: Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest

In our second first episode, we tackle the two-part pilot episode. We're talking awkward beginnings (both us and the show), Nathaniel gets a little too excited about Angel, and Maggie thinks Luke stinks.

Episode 001: Introductions and The Movie

In our first ever episode, we introduce ourselves, talk about why we wanted to do a Buffy podcast, apologize for our awkward beginnings (probably too much) and discuss the Buffy movie, which isn't entirely canon but is not not canon. We're a work in progress, indefinitely!
