Remember the days before streaming services when you would come home from high school and it was

only a few hours until that TV show that everyone was watching was going to come on.

Your friends were on their way over for the watch party and the smell of popcorn filled the room.

Well, in 1999, that show was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In the new podcast from Wondery, the re-watcher Buffy the Vampire Slayer,

we're taking it back to 1999. So get out your knee high boots and pace that poster of angel on the

wall. It's time to enter the Buffyverse. Join morbid co-hosts, Ash and Elena as they slay their way

through Buffy's drama, action and romance, episode by episode. That's right, we're taking you back

to where it all started in 1997. Welcome to the Hillmouth. You're about to hear a preview of the

re-watcher Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Listen to the re-watcher on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you're listening right now. You can also listen early on Amazon Music or Early and

All except for one girl who stands alone in a corner. She has blonde hair with perky bangs.

She's watching a couple at the bar. We're more specifically a guy. He's striking in that 90s

hipster way, you know, and he's clearly interested in the redhead he's talking to.

The girl in the corner watches him closely as the couple slides off their stools and head out the door.

She counts to 10, then she follows behind. Outside the moon is full and the air is crisp.
