Bonus Episode - HellmouthCon 2026 Recap!

Sean and Melanie are back from HellmouthCon, and they have a lot to report from their trip to Torrance High School (the real-life Sunnydale High!!) In this special recap episode, they talk about the travel adventure to California, seeing iconic Buffy filming locations in person, exploring the school campus, meeting fellow Buffy fans and podcasters, and connecting with cast members including Amber Benson, Claire Kramer, Larry Bagby, and James C. Leary. They also break down their Jenny Calendar and Giles cosplay, the amazing fan-made props and costumes they spotted, the immersive Sunnydale surprises around campus, and the very real challenge of keeping Melanie spoiler-free at a Buffy convention. Plus: Vietnamese coffee, In-N-Out Burger, accidental brunch-crashing, a missing clock tower, Buffy location hunting around Los Angeles, and the joy of being surrounded by people who love this show just as much as they do. It was a once-in-a-lifetime Sunnydale field trip and we’re taking you with us.
