Episode 87 - The Crithering (Listening to Fear)
from The Sunnydale Diaries - A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast · host Sean and Melanie
This week on The Sunnydale Diaries, Sean and Melanie are talking Listening to Fear...that title is still confusing. Between questionable science (“protein alkaloid” sure, Riley), a nightmare fuel space demon, and one of the most emotional Joyce episodes yet, this episode contains a weird mix of chaos and real-life depth. We get into how fear shows up in our own lives, from imposter syndrome to doing scary things on purpose, and whether fear is actually helpful or just really annoying. Also: Buffy Summers deserves a break. That’s it. That’s the takeaway.
