 Hey Weirdos, remember the days before we had streaming when you were watching cable television? You'd come home from high school or college or heck, even elementary school for some of us. It was only a few hours until that TV show that everybody was watching was going to come on. Remember that show? You know what I'm talking about? No, not Super Friends. No, not Sesame Street. I'm talking about something weird darkness genre. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1999 There is a new podcast from Wondery. It's called The Re-Watcher, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And they're taking it back to 1999. It's time to enter the Buffyverse. You can join Morbid co-host Ash and Elena as they slay their way through Buffy's drama, action and romance episode by episode. They're taking it back where it all started in 1997. Welcome to the Hell Mouth. You're going to hear a quick preview now of The Re-Watcher, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And well, if you're like the rest of the weirdos out there, you loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you're going to want to follow this with every episode. You can listen to Re-Watcher on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening right now. In fact, you can also listen early on Amazon Music or you can listen early and commercial free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app. And I've placed a link in the show description for you to do just that. OK, a quick preview now of The Re-Watcher, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ash, boy, do I have a story for you. Oh, play it on me, girl. I'm ready. OK, so it's midnight on March 10th, 1997, a typical Saturday night and a small town in central California. Mostly people are home in bed, but inside a dark club on the north edge of town, there's a party going on. High school kids drinking and dancing. You know the scene. It's like, I like the way you're working. No dignity. I got to back it up. It's exactly like that. 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 or more specifically a guy. He's striking in that nineties 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 ten and she follows behind. Outside the moon is full and the air is crisp. She sees them enter the cemetery. It's an old graveyard, you know, like big crypts inspired stone graves with faded letters dating back like 200 years. She squints into the darkness and that's when she sees them 50 feet away inside an overgrown crypt. What are you talking about? The boy has his arms around the redhead. His mouth pressed down on her neck. She sees a look of terror in the redhead's eyes. She reaches into her jacket, her hand closing around a hard wooden object, then she heads towards the guy. And then she's on him. Not tonight, mother. She jams the wooden object straight into his heart and the guy dissolves into a pile of white dust. That's really like not where I thought we were going with this. Welcome to the Hellmouth, weirdos. This isn't real life. This is Buffy the Vampire Slayer and we're watching the whole thing.
