Angel — The Vampire Boyfriend Era Begins

This week on Must Be Tuesday: A Buffy Podcast, we’re diving into “Angel” — the moment Buffy Summers officially enters her vampire-boyfriend era. Between stolen glances, crypt-side confessions, and one very dramatic shirtless reveal, this episode delivers the full 90s supernatural romance starter pack.

We get into how the show finally pulls the curtain back on Angel’s curse (yes, that one), why Darla is out here being chaotic and iconic, and how the Buffy/Angel dynamic becomes the emotional backbone of the early series. Plus, we talk stakes (literal and relationship) and that final scene that still punches 25+ years later.

Grab your wooden stakes and emotional support crossbow — this one’s a classic!

Slay along with us every Tuesday!
