Today Flo and Carra discuss endings and beginnings, and how one podcast begets another podcast such that a youthful podcast will rise from the grave of an other podcast and so on. Thank you for everything you beautiful audience!  

Goodbye Buffy Recreation!

We're thankful for the joys of Leslie's-beast-goddess-power painting after being dragged by the glove of Myhnegon through Buffy's "Revelations" this week.  We learn a lot about centaur biology and so will you.  Check out our visual aids (and the ones from the past two episodes as I've been remiss lately) at http://buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and send us emails at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  

41: Faith + Lil'Sebastien = Centaur

It's Episode 40 and this week is filled with sweaty tai chi, desserts, forbidden love and hungry snake demons.  Our visual aids are at http://buffyrecreation.blogspot.com. 

The Sweeter Things In Life

People are dressed up this week and ready to...kill with spatulas and/or get married.  We discuss BVS S3E 5 "Homecoming" and Parks&Recreation S3E9 "Fancy Party" and touch on happiness and responsibility, things that make us gag, scary rabbits and shame.  Check out our visual aids!  Leave us reviews!  Email us! 

39: Fancy Parties, Things in the Mouth

This week Flo and Carra discuss BVS S3E4 "The Beauty and the Beast," P&R S3E8 "Camping," and our first email ever!  It's a very exciting week, filled with biology inquiries into all sorts of creatures, research into competitive fingernail growth, speculation about human exceptionalism,  rage about violence against women, and also some poetry.  And Alf.  And fashion.  Check out our visual aids at http://buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and if Joe can find us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com, so can you!  Send us your comments and questions!  

38: The Call of the Wild, the Email of Joe

Wow. Try to walk away from #BuffytheVampireSlayer S3E3 "Faith Hope and Trick" and #ParksandRecreation S3E7 "Harvest Festival" without acknowledging that these episodes are beautiful reflections of one another.  Faith is Lil' Sebastien.  Donna is a Watcher.  Ken is a Watcher.  Ben and Buffy know better.  We discuss private and public spaces.  I am scared of hotels now.  We discuss 5 x 5, pastry cakes, and more crossovers than ever every before.  "It's like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and our lives are the same damn show."  So many mirrors without dependable reflections because we are all vampires at...heart? Check out our visual aids at buffyrecreation.blogspot.com.  They explain everything. Email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  

Episode 37: Faith/ Lil' Sebastien

This week Flo and Carra discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S3E2 "Dead Man's Party" and Parks & Recreation S3E6 "Indianapolis."  I mean...kind of.  Also bathtub meals, zombie poetry (please discuss fellow Kelly Larsons), lead-based makeup, spray tans and Barbie hair growth.  Please check out our visual aids at http://buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  Please write us with suggestions. We will do anything you suggest except stop.  Almost anything. 

E36: We'll do Anything Except Stop!

By "it," #BuffytheVampireSlayer and #Parks&Recreation mean late capitalism, one's own past and shame and grief, and the fact that these shows are mirror images of one another except that one of the shows is a vampire so can't see the reflection.  Got it?  This week, Flo and Carra discuss #BVS S3E1 "Anne" and #P&R S3e5 "Media Blitz."  We had a nice time together, there is excitement, riddles are solved, paper bag pants are decoded, Marx is quoted, and nipples are exulted. It's a fine time for all. Please check out our visual aids at http://buffyrecreation.blogspot.com, email and tweet at us and rate us and so on. 

Episode 35 : It's Time To Deal With It

This week Flo and Carra discuss BVS S2E22 "Becoming Part 2" and Parks&Rec S3E4 "Ron and Tammy Part 2."  So many twos. So many cops.  So much heartbreak.  So many metaphorical portals to hell. So many sexy fabrics.  So many memories of sit-n-spin. So many punches.  So much more need to interrogate simplistic practices of feminism.  So many swirling vortexes "of mouth."  Please check out our visual aids at www.buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  We will send you a sweater made out of cat fur if you email us!  Find us on Twitter at @buffyrecreation.  We value your suggestions. 

Buffyrecreationep34

This week Flo and Carra discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer s2E31 "Becoming Part 1" and Parks & Recreation S3E3 "Time Capsule."  Thus unfolds "a beautifully told saga about vampires, werewolves and romance."  We are punchy, there's lots of apocalyptic and porkalyptic talk, all our heroes in Pawnee and Sunnydale ponder how the past informs the present, Flo calls the Twilight movie franchise "such a gift," and we learn a lot about the orb of thesala.   Please rate and review us kindly on iTunes, please check out our visual aids at www.buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.

Buffy Recreation: Fish Flus

This week on Buffy Recreation Flo and Carra discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2e19 "I Only Have Eyes For you" and Parks & Recreation s3e1 "Go Big or Go Home."  We discuss forgiveness, rage, tears, scary night mirrors, chokers and capitalism but, honestly, I spend a lot of time talking about the plethora of celebrities in this episode of Buffy.  You can check out our visual aids at buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and tweet at us at @buffyrecreation.  Send us an email about snakes and wasps or anything else you want to talk about at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  Take care of yourself today.

Episode 30 : Child (Joy) Death

This week Flo and Carra discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E17 "Passion" and Parks & Recreation S2E23 "Master Plan" this week despite Flo's burning eyes and aching joints.  We spend a lot of time trying to do math, say goodbye to Jenny and hello to Chris and Ben, barely get through this episode and we thank you for your patience.  Spoiler alert: next Monday we are healthy and rested and raring to go!  

Episode 29 : Fever Dreams 2

Flo's flu gets worse as we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E16 "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and Parks & Recreation S2E22 "Telethon."  Things get weird. We discuss death by milk, misogyny, nipples, old age and potions and then attempt to make a phone call to Pawnee.  Please send any helpful constructive comments to buffyrecreation@gmail.com, tweet at us at @buffyrecreation and check out our visual aids at buffyrecreation.blogspot.com

Buffy Recreation Episode 28 :

Join Flo and Carra as we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E15 "Phases" and Parks and Recreation S2E21 "94 Meetings."  This week in the bloodsoaked hellscapes of Sunnydale and Pawnee we discuss  bunnies, toddler werewolves, Harry Potter lore, Western funeral practices vs. vampires,  and then we get really angry because, you know, misogyny.  Please check out our visual aids at buffyrecreation.blogspot.com and email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  On Twitter at @buffyrecreation. We delight in your comments! 

Buffy Recreation: Blood soaked Nightmarish Hellscapes

"Is everything so grief-laden that the world is weeping?" Flo asks  as we watch the beautifully conversant Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E14 "Innocence" and Parks and Recreation S2E20 "Summer Catalog."  This week the tears of the Slayer seep through Pawnee's portals,  Leslie directly quotes the Buffyverse, we figure out that Andy and April are Buffy and Angel in reverse, Flo and I practice saying "library" correctly, and we feel grateful that a day of broken hearts and dismembered limbs can end with a hearty breakfast and a talk with a friend.

Buffy Recreation Episode 25

"One person's bezoar is another person's possum," says Flo. As we discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2E12 "Bad Eggs" and Parks and Recreation s2 E18 "The Possum," we learn about the responsibilities, burdens, and joys of caring for another. Also we struggle with new formats. And there are tentacles.  And eggs in your bed. Please tweet at us at @buffyrecreation and email us at buffyrecreation@gmail.com.  

Buffy Recreation Episode 24:  Bezoar/ Possum

What does a 1950s-era misogynist robot have in common with the IOW award for Woman of the Year? So so much. Listen to find out!  Plus it's a week of firsts! Flo finds the first "neckerchief done right" in the Buffyverse and we think of a situation Leslie Knope can't handle (hint: compliant-making-drug laced pastries).  Flo and Carra discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer S2 11 "Ted" and Parks and Recreation S2E17 "Woman of the Year."  Topics covered include misogyny, motherhood, floppy discs, John Ritter, and paper Seegers.  Please kindly rate and review us on iTunes.
