🚨 BOOK COVER REVEAL 🚨⁣
⁣
Our book is real! It has a cover!!! ⁣
⁣
You can PRE-ORDER it right now at bufferingcast.com/book!! ⁣
⁣
We are so excited we could CRY?!⁣
⁣
It may be said that we have never before worked together on a labor of love as fiercely and diligently as we have worked on writing our upcoming book: Slayers, Every One of Us.⁣
⁣
Today, we are sharing the shiny new cover with the world. The cover was designed by the team at St. Martin’s with beautiful illustrations contributed by friend of the pod Devan Power — and we adore it so very, very much.⁣
⁣
What’s more, you can now PRE-ORDER your copy! As many of you already know, pre-orders are one of the most important pieces of a book’s success!!! So, if you are interested and able, we would be so very grateful if you’d pre-order your copy in advance of the book’s March 2025 release.⁣

SLAYERS, EVERY ONE OF US⁣
⁣
A memoir reflecting on heartbreak, perseverance, and life lessons learned Buffy the Vampire Slayer, from the hosts of the hit podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer.⁣

Kristin and Jenny’s marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny’s favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of “Scoobies,” unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.⁣
⁣
Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two q***r women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other’s lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy (and Buffering!) content for true fans, this is ultimately a memoir of q***r love and chosen family. It’s a heartwarming story for anyone who’s experienced lost love, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.⁣

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!⁣

ICYMI: Last week, in our coverage of The “Red Museum,” there was one — and only one — important thing to discuss.

08/06/2024

TONIGHT at 8pm Eastern, join us live as we host our first-ever virtual Buffy Prom!

We (aka Jenny & Kristin) will be hanging out together, telling prom stories, revealing a fun thing that we can’t tell you about until tomorrow, playing Spice Girl trivia, and so much more — all interspersed with our favorite footage from this year’s Buffy Prom in Brooklyn, NY.

Dress up or dress down (Jenny has no less than three costume changes planned), pour your cocktails/mocktails, and join us!

🪩 If you miss the livestream, you can watch on demand through June 29th!

Wow wow wow dear friends, join us TONIGHT for the final groupwatch of FLOPPY, HOPPY SPRING!! At 8pm Eastern we’ll be taking in a double feature of “Doublemeat Palace” and “Selfless!”

As Buffy always says, Double Feat Is Double Sweet.” Tune in to learn the Doublemeat Medley’s secret ingredient, hear the Anya song that didn’t make it into OMWF, and cuddle up to the Scandinavian bunnies of yore.

Hit that link in bio to hop and also flop with us!

We covered The “One Breath” this week and we had a LOT of feelings about the return of Dana Scully and the strength of Mulder’s beliefs 😭🤍

The X-Files have been reopened by Daddy Skinner!! Today’s episode covers S2E6 “Ascension,” in which Mulder dangles from the Skyland Mountain Tram, the Cigarette Smoking man smokes, Krycek excels at murder and delivering coffee, and Duane Barry escapes another abduction by trading in Dana Scully. No offense to Duane (and may he rest in a dentist-free peace), but we’d admittedly *also* trade up for Dana any day 👽

Join us tomorrow at 8pm Eastern for a double feature live watch of “Triangle” and “Tabula Rasa” — we can debate the question, “Are we more upset with Olaf or Giles???”

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy’s **classic** Season 3, Episode 19 “Enemies,” we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with very special, extremely beloved guest (and alleged velvet choker owner) Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we were delighted to learn that our conversation about “Enemies” marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies. 🪙🪙

Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead 💕
