5.22 Not Fade Away

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 04:00:00 -0000

Now this? This is what we're talking about. This? This is the good stuff. And DADDY? He is officially home. (No, not Joss. Eww.) So join your "intriguingly unstable" hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) one last time as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode (and series finale) "Not Fade Away," a banger of a series finale and the perfect example of how you stick the damn landing.

5.21 Power Play

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 11:47:08 -0000

On a FRESH Angel on Top... For seasons, we've all heard tales of Drogyn, the Keeper of the Deeper Well. He's basically all that anyone ever talks about on this show. And this week—in the second to last episode of Angel ever—Drogyn RETURNS. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Power Play," an episode that really gets just how important Drogyn is to all of us... and how important Nina Ash is to Angel the vampire. Also: titular power plays.

5.20 The Girl In Question

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 13:24:22 -0000

Drumroll, please! Because the gang is back together, Scoobies. No, we're not talking about Angel Investigations. They're all still complete strangers to each other. We're talking Team Angel on Top, as Producer Kristin is back on the mic, and it's for more than just a single Korner. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "The Girl in Question," another DeKnight and Goddard messaround. Oh boy. Only two episodes of Angel left after this.

5.19 Time Bomb

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 14:12:33 -0000

Bad news, Scoobies: Khaki Connor is NOT in this episode of Angel. Instead, we're left with a few beta males and a ticking time bomb (hey, that's the title!). But don't worry: We still find a way to talk about our favorite boy. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Time Bomb," ANOTHER non-Groundhog Day Whedonverse time loop episode.

5.18 Origin

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 11:51:21 -0000

Memories are a tricky thing, Scoobies. For example, you all might remember Connor Angel as being anything but a beloved character for your friends here at Angel on Top character. But that can't be true. We've always been fans of Connor Angel. Big fans. ALWAYS. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Origin," featuring the return of their favorite character (and his beloved bob and sneer), Connor.

5.17 Underneath

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:32:48 -0000

Scoobies (or should we say "Angel's Avengers?"), what exactly is the difference between a cellar and a basement? Because while we might not quite figure it out during this week's podcast episode, we do know one thing: Whatever the official terminology, that's definitely a sex dungeon. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Underneath," a very Supernatural episode of a season of television that continues to gaslight said hosts.

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 11:38:07 -0000

Give me a head with shells / Long, beautiful shells. Translation: Unfortunately, Scoobies, we must continue to say goodbye to Winifred "Fred" Burkle. But fortunately, we get to say hello to one hell of an Amy Acker performance. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Shells," the end of Fred's story and official beginning of Illyria's.

5.15 A Hole In The World

Wed, 31 May 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Today is a difficult day, Scoobies: for real this time. So let's just get right down to it. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) and special guest Taylor Brogan (writer, AMC's Lucky Hank) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "A Hole in the World," an episode you've probably all been dreading for one reason or another.

Wed, 17 May 2023 12:08:56 -0000

Today is a difficult day, Scoobies, as we must accept the new normal: Angel the vampire has puppet cancer. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) and special guest Joe Henderson (co-showrunner of a little show known as Lucifer) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Smile Time," an episode about self-esteem, signals, and of course, puppet cancer.

5.13 Why We Fight

Wed, 03 May 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Oh yes: It's a D-Day episode for your V-Day episode. (This statement only really makes sense if you know when this Angel episode aired. And if you listen to this podcast episode. Then this joke absolutely kills. You'll get it.) And if you are a fan of the ensemble of this particular series... this is NOT the episode for you. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Why We Fight." And fear not, Scoobies. Because with this, we are finally over the frustrating hump known as the first half of Angel Season 5. We'll really miss the sonar though.

Scoobies, wipe your tears away. Now is not the time to cry. We have work to do. (Okay, maybe you can do a little crying. It's only natural. But there's still work to be done.) There's really no reason to beat around the bush: You all know what episode we're doing. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "You're Welcome," the 100th episode of the series (and of this podcast).

5.10 Soul Purpose

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 14:38:54 -0000

Once upon a time, there was a critically-acclaimed episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer titled "Restless." (Season 4, Episode 22, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in case any of you Scoobies forgot.) And now, there is... also an episode of Angel. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Soul Purpose," an episode that's one-part bad dreams and little suckers, one-part KRISTIN'S CHAMPION in action, and one-part a vehicle for Christian Kane thirst.

NOTE: While we stated in "Destiny" that Christian Kane had returned to the series as Lindsey McDonald with the classic end credits "SPECIAL GUEST STAR" bit, we clarify some things about that (things we didn't even realize we needed to clarify) in this episode.

Oh, the difficulties of being an undead gal in the big city. Harmony Kendall knows all of them quite well.

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Harm's Way," an episode all about little old Harmony.

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 13:21:02 -0000

Ah, remember a simpler time, Scoobies? A time when men were men and Angelus and Spike (AK William Bloody) could truly be themselves (GAY). Well, you will remember it. That's what this episode is all about, kids. (See, "kids" sounds a lot cooler when *we* say it.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Destiny," an episode that corporealizes a certain Blondie BOO!, finally kicks things into gear, and really makes ya think about that whole "champion" thing.

Scoobies, we've heard of being a father of a daughter, but being a father of a SON? Now we've heard everything! Which is why we needed to have a real-life father of a son, writer Bill Hanstock, on as guest to help us unpack all the episode. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Lineage," an episode that leaves us with so many more questions than we started with... and ninja cyborgs!

5.06 The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 13:00:00 -0000

Scoobies, it looks like we've got ourselves a wrestling episode. Cue LaToya adjusting her glasses to prepare to give you fair listeners... an education. And while it may be a new year for all of us, back in the world of 2003 The WB—god, we have to go back—we're celebrating Día de los Muertos and the beginning of November sweeps. (Yes, this episode of Angel kicked off its November sweeps episodes. We discuss this in the podcast.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco," an episode that really opens up questions about Gunn's new legal mind, as well as what our Angel Investigations friends even remember from Seasons 3 and 4. Also, never forget: Professional wrestling is REAL.

5.05 Life of the Party

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 13:00:00 -0000

When you're a vampire with a soul, you learn to live with the idea of people wanting you dead. ... Work long enough and the line to kill you gets pretty long." That's right, Scoobies—Angel the vampire DOES have a lot in common with burned spy Michael Westen. (Not to be confused with actor Michael Weston, real-life son of our dearly departed Linwood Murrow.) But this episode is not so much about the titular vampire; it's about Lorne! (Cue "Viva Lorne Vegas.") Since starting work at Wolfram & Hart, Lorne's been under a lot of stress, folks. Yes, most of that stress was left on the cutting room floor, but now, there's a whole episode about it. So crack open a can of blue blood boy and join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Life of the Party," an episode in which Angel finally remembers to be a good friend (and how to do his hair), everyone is reminded what a bop Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way Is," and office party hijinks ensue.

Who says spooky season is behind us, Scoobies? Definitely not this episode of Angel, that's for sure. Yes, once again, Angel the series is going deep down—but not to the bottom of the ocean and not with the vampire with a soul you'd expect. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Hell Bound," an episode in which the Spike we know is finally back and the Angel we're kind of down on says some wack stuff because he's grumpy. And spoiler alert: Hell is coming for us all!

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Unleashed," an episode that introduces a "Tina" named Nina, continues the established pattern of characters seeing something but refusing to say something, and proves that you can apparently just say anything now and it has to be taken as canonical fact.

Scoobies, he's here. Spike ("AK William Bloody") is here. And now Angel the series is not just a legal drama—it's a buddy cop comedy! You know, two genres Angel the series has always needed to be. That means petty Angel and jealous (?) Spike all night long.So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson (high on pain pills) and Morgan Lutich (high on life) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Just Rewards," the episode that taught up all the word "corporeal" and gave us a solid head count of who on Team Angel is a dead person.

Scoobies, a new era has arrived. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is dead. Long live Buffy the Vampire Slayer! And with its ending, so endeth the Buffering the Vampire Slayer/Angel on Top FEUD. But the show must go on, as there is still one more season of Angel left. Which means Angel on Top just has to provide a corker of a return episode. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 premiere "Conviction," a re-pilot of sorts.

4.22 Home

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 12:24:32 -0000

Alright, Scoobies. We have officially reached the end of the road. Not just for Angel Season 4 but for a couple of other big Angel the series features. But let's not cry because it's over; let's smile because it happened. (Except for the thing that is all Joss Whedon pettiness. We can riot in the streets for that part.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson* and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 4 finale "Home," after watching it the way it was truly intended to be watched: via a TV-Rip of the original WB airing, commercials and all.

*LaToya also would like the record reflect that she realized Bananarama only covered "Venus" literally the second after the words came out of her mouth, but she didn't correct herself because she wanted to keep the typical perfect flow of the episode going.

4.21 Peace Out

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Scoobies, we've all heard of full of grace but full of HATE? Wild. (Yes, this is a bit that mostly works if you've already listened to the episode, but just go with us.) Jasmine is back and bigger than ever, and while you would think that Connor would absolutely love that, it seems the boy has finally heard the tinkle tinkle. And he reacts to that fact in the totally normal way he reacts to everything. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Peace Out," complete with philosophical discussions and disagreements about whether or not the show did what it set out to do in terms of the big picture.

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:11:37 -0000

As the Conheads have risen, Team Angel has fallen... all the way down to the dang sewers. Scoobies, do you hear the tinkle tinkle? Because it is back and more beautiful than ever. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Sacrifice," Ben Edlund's first Angel episode and one that stretches the believability of that whole "only folks in LA know about Jasmine" thing. But hey, it brings back all the hits, baby (the aforementioned tinkle tinkle, skittering, Angel's love of eating rats)!

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "The Magic Bullet," an episode that continues to give them everything they want, including sexpionage and even more character actors.

Scoobies, have you heard the good news? Our friends are finally back in a good place, all thanks to Jasmine (aka Gina Torres). After a long, long fourth season, finally, Angel the series gives us everything we've been asking for. And not a tinkle tinkle in earshot. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Shiny Happy People," an episode that introduces the concepts of being faced with a Big Good AND long-haired Sam Witwer.

4.17 Inside Out

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 11:40:50 -0000

The time has come, Scoobies: SHE'S HERE. But more on that whole thing next episode. For this particular episode, we're talking the tinkle tinkle of "Cordelia's" evil piano music as the series FINALLY explains what the heck has been going on with our girl. (Short version: Joss fuckery. Long version: Free will possibly doesn't exist? We'll get into it) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Inside Out," a tale of two mommies, one DADDY (LaToya!), incels who fuck, and again, the tinkle tinkle.

Scoobies, this one is truly for the Gunn Squad! Bang motherfricken Bang. If you're part of the Squad and want to see our boy get some much-needed love, then at least half of this is the episode of Angel for you. And if you like bad renditions of Michelle Branch's music and somewhat poignant discussions of Blackness on The WB (post-its era as "a Black network," of course), then this is also the podcast episode for you. Two things! So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Players," an episode where everyone's favorite f-word—Gwen Raiden—returns, no one is on high enough alert, and, once again, Cordelia having once been "Ken Marino bug pregnant" is integral to the topic at hand. And as always: If you see something, SAY SOMETHING.

4.15 Orpheus

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 12:03:00 -0000

Scoobies, it's funny how these things go. In any other instance, realizing that there's an episode of Angel where Cordelia Chase descends a staircase and delivers dramatic news could truly be one of the greatest things ever. But in this case, it is merely the culmination of Connor Angel not realizing that if you see something, you should say something. (Really, he doesn't seem to realize much of anything at all.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week—alongside eternal nemesis "Little" Jenny Owen Youngs—as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Orpheus," an episode that brings us Willow, Willow mourning the loss of her dead fish, and Willow hitting on Fred. There's also something with Angel and his shadow self...? But like we said: Willow is here!

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 13:19:04 -0000

Scoobies, good news: Faith is still here! And Angelus wears reading glasses! And... Gunn! Bad news? Cordelia and Connor's thing is still... a thing. (Now with more blankets, for some bizarre reason. Yes, that's the bizarre part of all of this.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Release," an episode that possibly ruins the word "daddy," makes them question Wesley (once again), and, naturally, inspires lots of intelligent discussion about Faith the Vampire Slayer.

Let's get right down to it, Scoobies: SHE'S HERE. ("Sharp Dressed Man" intensifies, we all lower our sunglasses to get a better look, etc.) Because Faith the Vampire Slayer is back, baby! Like we always say: We've never said a bad word about Angel Season 4 and are having the time of our lives here on Angel on Top. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more)—as well as their sort of guest Kristin Russo (AKA nemesis)—this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Salvage," an episode finally brings Faith Lehane back into the fold, allows LaToya to make more William Shakespeare references, and has us all wondering once again, "Hey, what's up with Cordy?"

Wed, 11 May 2022 11:10:32 -0000

Scoobies, do you like wordplay? No matter your answer, this week's Angel episode title might be a tad bit confusing to you. You see, it's "Calvary," not "Cavalry"... but if you didn't realize that, don't worry: They want you to be confused! Who is "they?" Possibly one of the episode's three writers but also most likely Joss Whedon, a man who—for some reason—keeps coming up in this episode discussion.So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Calvary," an episode that really highlights Angelus' pro wrestling heel work, Lilah's greatness, and... actually... might... be... a... good... Connor... episode? Also, what's the deal with Cordy?

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 15:01:00 -0000

Scoobies, do you know what happens to a nerd when they have no leverage? The same thing that happens to everything else: Angelus, baby! That's right, after Angel Investigations' genius plan to put Angel's soul into a jar and pump Angelus for information, HE'S HERE. And he'd love that this description just brought up "pumping." So join your cultured hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Soulless," an episode where Angelus returns as the most brilliant battle rapper that has ever existed... and we once again take the "love triangle" (the bastardized "Othello" one, not the bastardized "Oedipus Rex" one) to task.

Crack open a nice, warm bottle of dream milk, Scoobies—we're going into Angel's subconscious, baby. Much like us, Angel misses all of his friends—though he STILL doesn't know Fred and Gunn are an item—and he's got the dream Indiana Jones adventure to prove it. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Awakening," an episode where everything makes up and the points don't matter... but in a good way!

Scoobies, our favorite freak (sorry to use that word) is back! That's right, Gwen Raiden is back, baby, and she is here... to join our friends in failing at stopping the Beast from blacking out the sun. Whoops. From freak to failure, baby girl. (It could be worse though. She could hook up with Connor because he's jUsT LiKe hIs DaD.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss Angel Season 4's "Long Day's Journey," an episode that starts off the rails and continues to stay off said rails.

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Beast vs. the (Lil') Panabaker, how Wes could go from the hottest anyone's ever been to Public Enemy #1, Angel's (correct) stance on zombies, and the aftermath of *that* scene.

4.07 Apocalypse, Nowish

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 13:45:55 -0000

Scoobies, a wise man with cool hair once sang, "The sky's gonna open / People gonna pray and crawl / It's gonna rain down fire / It's gonna burn us all." And you know what? The gang over at Angel Investigations really should've listened to him! I hear he has cool hair these days! Maybe if they had listened to him, they would have seen Season 4's "Apocalypse Nowish" coming. Because we all wish we could have seen it coming. (Cordy did though, as she kept on saying "it's coming" in this episode.) Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss how one bad apple (the Cordelia and Connor stuff) can spoil the whole bunch (an otherwise decent episode), potentially quitting the podcast, and how they're still definitely having so much more fun than those gals over at Buffering the Vampire Slayer.

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 13:07:50 -0000

Scoobies, do you remember "Band Candy?" Do you remember "Tabula Rasa?" You know, both episodes of television that were once discussed on that other podcast, Buffering the Vampire Slayer. Well then Angel Season 4's "Spin the Bottle" may seem pretty, pretty familiar to you. (Unless you also have amnesia. Can't help you there then.) All the fun of those episodes... only less so... and with 100% more sneering Connor. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week -- alongside special guest nemesis Jenny Owen Youngs -- as they discuss present day Joss Whedon, Angel Investigations vs. teenage Angel Investigations, Connor Angel's age (and sneering), and, you guessed it, the feud.

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 13:28:17 -0000

Scoobies, by now you probably know this: If there's one thing that us lovely ladies here at Angel on Top understand, it's physics. So you just know that none of the talk of supersymmetry (the titular concept) in this Season 4 episode (again, "Supersymmetry") went over our heads. Sorry, Gunn and Angel -- you have to get up pretty early to get one over on us. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss portal summoning logistics, trauma, the chatty rooms, and... sigh... the, let's say, progression of the C&C Ugh Factory story.

Huh. Forgive us, Scoobies. We had something we wanted to say here, but for some reason... we just... can't seem to remember? If that sounds like an accurate portrayal of amnesia to you, then surely you know that this week, Angel on Top continues its spoiler-free dissection of all things exclusively Angel the series with Season 4, Episode 4, "Slouching Toward Bethlehem." Cordelia is finally back from a higher plane, she now has amnesia, and the gang at Angel Investigations apparently learned absolutely nothing from the events of Season 3's "Fredless." But you know what else? Wes and Lilah are in *hushed tones* a relationship. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss inconvenient amnesia, sexy relationships, and the grimiest little pimp of all, Connor. Oh, how we talk about Connor.

We asked for it, Scoobies, and finally, it is here: Viva Lorne Vegas! ("Officially" known as Angel Season 4, Episode 3, "The House Always Wins." But we all know what it really is.) FINALLY, what's left of the team at Angel Investigations takes Gunn's brilliant advice and heads to Vegas... and would you look at that? Strange things are afoot at the Tropicana. And not just slander from the television series Angel. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) as they discuss Vegas (baby), Lornette Fred... and (once again) those two little freaks known as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and Lilah Morgan.

Hey, Scoobies, quick question: Do *you* know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? Well, we don't want to spoil it if you don't know, but we will say, there is an episode of Angel that just might have the answer to said question. That's right, Angel on Top continues its spoiler-free dissection of all things exclusively Angel the series with Season 4, Episode 2, "Ground State," the most X-Men episode of the entire series thus far. (You never know: Anna Paquin *could* show up down the line.) So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) as they discuss a little "freak" known as Gwen Raiden... and those two little freaks known as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and Lilah Morgan.

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more), alongside special guest-slash-nemesis Kristin Russo, as they begin (deep) down the road of a new season of both Angel the series and Angel on Top.

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) as they continue to talk good and/or bad parenting, Holtz and Justine's whole deal, what exactly Angel (and The WB) was trying to do with Vincent Kartheiser, and poor, sad Groosalugg.

Now, we're not sure if you've heard, but there is always a price to using dark magics.

And join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) as they navigate all things translucent demon slugs, Wolfram & Hart non sequiturs, and Wesley's upsetting attractiveness level.

Scoobies, a question: Is "Double or Nothing" a fun episode of Angel or is it quite a sad episode of Angel?

Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis, and so much more) as they attempt to answer this very difficult question. They also celebrate the return of Cordelia (and Groo!), try, yet again, to figure out certain geographical choices in Angel's version of Los Angeles, and get some insight into the making of "Double or Nothing" from episode writer David H. Goodman. That's all fun, right?

Scoobies, a wise woman once said: "Forgiveness... is more than saying sorry. Forgiveness... means accepting people's flaws." And that is a lesson that the "Dark Avenger" himself must learn in a little episode called "Forgiving." Now, does Angel actually learn that lesson? Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K.

Look, Scoobies... We promised you that things would never get bad on Angel and that we'd always be happy here on Angel on Top, and... Well, hey—we're still doing better than our nemeses over at Buffering the Vampire Slayer right now, right? Right. So just "Sleep Tight," because we'll get through this particular emotional hurdle together. (Do you like how I used the episode title in context like that?) Sure, Angel might not get over losing his son to Holtz and a Hell dimension, and Wesley might not get over having his throat slit, but... Hey, Fred and Gunn were really cute in this episode, right? Again: Right. So join your hosts (a couple of goofs) LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K.

3.13 Waiting in the Wings

Wed, 05 May 2021 12:04:00 -0000

Scoobies, the wait is finally over, and it is time for "Waiting in the Wings." That's right, the gang at Angel Investigations is stepping (and tripping) out — and The WB circa 2002 is absolutely buzzing about it. As are your hosts, LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis, and so much more), who just can't get enough of "Giselle." (Psst. That's the ballet they see in this episode of Angel.)

3.12 Provider

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 11:05:00 -0000

Scoobies, we have been waiting all season, and finally, it is here: Angel Investigations has a paid case. Multiple paid cases, even!' Which is really good news right now, because Daddy Angel has mouths to feed. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis, and so much more) as they discuss "Provider" (AKA "Provider: Daddies All Around"), an episode that begs the question: Has anyone ever actually seen the feature film Money Monster? Because we think it'd look a little like this...

3.11 Birthday

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:45:00 -0000

'Allo, Scoobies! This is a special episode of Angel, innit? (Okay, that was for all the Tammy fans.) That's right, we have finally approached "Birthday" in our viewing schedule. Wait, whose birthday? Cordelia Chase's, of course! So, baby — stay awhile. Especially since this episode is one of your Angel on Top hosts' favorite episodes of Angel. Join said hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis, and so much more) as they discuss "Birthday," an alt-world episode that is also technically a mallpisode.

3.10 Dad

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 11:49:00 -0000

Fatherhood is quite the adventure, isn't it, Scoobies? It definitely is when you're new father Angel — and that's even before the car chase to the abandoned mine in the desert. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss the appropriately-titled episode "Dad," a story about that old saying that it takes a village to raise a child (and keep it from being dissected or turned into baby soup). Or it at least takes a few rogue demon hunters and a vampire with a soul. LaToya and Morgan also do some pretty terrible Holtz impressions in this podcast episode, if that's what you're into.

3.09 Lullaby

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:00:00 -0000

Oh, Scoobies. It is time for one heck of an emotional rollercoaster, both for unexpectedly expecting vampire parents Angel and Darla and your newly-minted podcast parents LaToya and Morgan. But you know what? To quote the Shawn Mullins song "Lullaby": "Everything's gonna be alright." As long as you don't question Sahjhan's motives at all, that is. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss "Lullaby," a story about revenge (and how irrational it can be), redemption (and how it can't change things... even if it tries), and really, just how great of an actress Julie Benz is (duh).

3.08 Quickening

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 12:46:00 -0000

It may be February, but allow us to transport you back to November 2001 for some network sweeps shenanigans in the form of a vampire pregnancy. Darla is about to give birth to a baby that may or may not "skitter" out of her, Holtz is armed with knowledge of the moon landing (but very little about Angel's current deal), and the creeps employed by Wolfram & Hart have never been creepier. Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they discuss "Quickening," a story about the literal horrors of birth *and* various baby-dissecting factions.

3.07 Offspring

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 13:06:00 -0000

Good news: Darla's back! Bad news: Angel doesn't quite take that (or the fact that she's super pregnant) like the enlightened "manpire" he claims to be. To be perfectly honest, Angel's behavior is pretty disappointing... but fortunately, this episode is not! Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad, AKA Theodore K. Mullins and Frank Scabopolis) as they unpack "Offspring," a story about kyrumption, moira, and the Buffyverse's less-than-flattering views on sex.

3.06 Billy

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 12:57:00 -0000

Hey, Scoobies. Remember that young man Angel broke out of his own personal Hell dimension in order to save Cordelia's life back in "That Vision Thing?" Well, uh... he's back now. And as it turns out, there was a very good reason he was in his own personal Hell dimension. (Sorry again for Angel's behavior, Skip.) Join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA the Cordelia and Fred of the Bufferingverse, AKA Bones and Also Bones, AKA the Gunn Squad) as they unpack "Billy," a story about primordial misogyny in men -- whatever that means.

3.05 Fredless

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 13:24:00 -0000

The crack detectives over at Angel Investigations still have yet to be paid for a case this season, but you know what they have done, Scoobies? No, Cordy hasn't had a vision yet. No, Gunn hasn't made amends with Lorne. No, Wesley hasn't found an Angel impression that isn't all forehead. And no, despite what we went through last episode -- horny body swap shenanigans -- Angel hasn't stopped being super charming to Fred. But now, they have finally met Fred's parents! That's right, Fred has parents, y'all. And now, they are no longer "Fredless." Join LaToya Ferguson as she and guest host Brittany Ashley (maybe you've heard of her) sing offkey in between talking all things Fred and "Fredless."

3.04 Carpe Noctem

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 17:16:00 -0000

Four episodes into this season of Angel, and Angel Investigations still hasn't done a paid case. (So maybe get off your high horse about that whole saving people for money thing, characters over on the B-word show.) But you know what they have done? Well, besides tackling race relations, they have also given us another body swap episode to add to the canon, with "Carpe Noctem." Behold what is arguably the horniest episode of Angel, to the point where even the official WB promos for it included dick jokes for the episode's subtitle. (Seriously.) Join LaToya Ferguson as she and guest host Morgan Lutich unpack all the horniness of this episode -- whether they like it or not -- as well as the glaring logistics of the fact that no one immediately said, "Hey, Angel's been body swapped!" This is a strange one, Scoobies.

3.03 That Old Gang Of Mine

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 13:31:00 -0000

So... Remember how Gunn decided to simply ignore all of his problems at home during the Pylea arc at the end of Angel Season 2? Well, those problems have popped right back up, and well, Gunn continues to handle them poorly. Really poorly. Almost as if there was a lack of interest in even telling the story of Gunn's problems at all. That's right: It's "That Old Gang of Mine" time, and as it turns out, Angel the series has *not* gotten better at tackling human race relations. Join LaToya Ferguson as she and guest host Mack MacDade get to the bottom of why this episode doesn't work, how it actually could have worked, and Angel's (mmm, Angel) casual leather pants. (Look, it's not all about heavy issues. Sometimes it's just about Angel in leather pants.)

3.02 That Vision Thing

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 11:41:00 -0000

Don't know if you've heard, but Cordelia's visions from TPTB are *literally* killing her. So keeping that in mind, "That Vision Thing" finds a way to make that whole dilemma even worse -- and it's all Kal Penn's fault! (Though it is nice when Fred compares Cordelia to a dog and when Angel... compares Cordelia to a car. Look, you've gotta take the small victories sometimes.) Join LaToya Ferguson as she continues to embark on this journey as Angel on Top's new-and-nervous host, this week with the help of guest host Connor Goldsmith, possibly the only person who can challenge LaToya in terms of Angel nerd cred.

0.01 Race in the Buffy and Angelverse

Wed, 08 Jul 2020 04:00:00 -0000

The absolutely brilliant LaToya Ferguson, Alanna Bennett, and Ira Madison III host today's conversation on race within the Buffy and Angelverse! This is the first in a larger series that will be produced and hosted by BIPOC Buffy fans here on the Buffering the Vampire Slayer and WOW — what a way to begin. These three TV geniuses bring their encyclopedic knowledge of both series to the table with questions like: What would have happened if Leonard Roberts played Riley? Why in the hell was Drusilla able to kill Kendra — an immensely powerful Slayer — with one filed f*cking fingernail? How would it have impacted the arc of the universes if Bianca Lawson had been cast as Cordelia? This. Episode. Fucking. Rules.

Today’s conversation was curated, produced, and edited by LaToya Ferguson. You can follow LaToya at @lafergs on Twitter and you should also *immediately* tune into her podcast about The Vampire Diaries (YEAH THAT’S RIGHT) called The AMPire Diaries over at theampirediariespod.com

Alanna Bennett is a culture writer and screenwriter who you can follow over at @AlannaBennett on Twitter and Instagram! Currently Alanna is writing for The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico

Ira Madison III would love if you’d just please leave him alone (he’s busy!), but if you INSIST he can be found at @ira on Twitter, @irathethird on Instagram; he also was a writer on Netflix’s Daybreak and is currently writing on Netflix’s forthcoming Q-Force

Massive thanks to Mackenzie MacDade and Alba Daza who are working with us as consultants and facilitators!

Mackenzie MacDade is a 31 year old, queer woman of color, teaching artist, feminist, part time poet and general rabble rouser. She got her start in feminism from a book of feminist nursery rhymes, and her start in pop culture analysis from 9 years of homeschooling (translation: 9 years of TV and movie watching). A firm believer in queering the collective consciousness, she strives to inspire people to redesign their idea of normal and step out their comfort zone. She takes inspiration from Gertrude Stein, Buffy, Angela Davis, Faith and bell hooks. Someone once described her as “The love child of Angela Davis and Ru-Paul” and she thinks that just about sums it up.

Alba Daza is a 27-year-old emerging Latinx writer/director/podcaster based in Montreal, Canada. At 13 years old she discovered (through Buffy) that she wanted to be a screenwriter and hasn’t let go of that dream since. Her stories focus on telling and celebrating the stories of marginalized voices, giving them space to breathe and thrive. Through her work, she plans to decolonize pop culture and Slay white supremacy, just like Buffy taught her.
