## Resource

Welcome to Once More, With Spoilers, where Kristin Russo & Jenny Owen Youngs revisit every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one at a time — for the SECOND time! — this time discussing each episode with spoilers! Somehow the biggest surprise on the pod today has nothing to do with Buffy turning 17 and everything to do with Grimace — the beloved (party throwing?) (Gemini?!?!) purple BEST FRIEND of Ronald McDonald. In Sunnydale, Jenny is revealed as Janna, Cordelia is revealed from behind a pool table, Angel's boobs are revealed at both his bedtime and Buffy's bedtime, and Drusilla HATES THE FLOWERS, FIX THEM!!!! Our original coverage of "Surprise" — with no spoilers! — aired on April 19, 2017 and you can find it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/buffering-the-vampire-slayer-a-buffy-the/id1150241800?i=1000384542878 Get up to 30% off OneSkin with the code BUFFERING at https://www.oneskin.co/BUFFERING #oneskinpod OUR BOOK!
