Buffering the Vampire Slayer | A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Podcast

Two Xanders, no waiting! Our favorite day-glo demon Toth is in town to kill the Slayer but, whoops!, his neon beam misses Buffy and instead splits Xander into two. While Anya contemplates the many things she can do in this kind of glorious double-boyfriend threesome, the scooby gang work on putting Xander back together again. Oh, and by the way? Spike made a Buffy mannequin! Whatever! It's Season 5 Episode 3: The Replacement!LOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNETJenny Owen Youngs: @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.com/bufferingKristin Russo: @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.com, everyoneisgay.com, mykidisgay.comBuffering the Vampire Slayer: @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramSPECIAL GUESTSFashion Watch Queen Kate Leth: @kateleth; http://kateleth.comHOT HOT TIPSNEXT LIVE SHOW is in San Francisco on 12/6!
