81: Angel S2E2 “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been”

“Yep. It's not that vampires don't photograph, it's just that they don't photograph well.”

Penny, Becky and Kara enjoy a trip to 1952 to experience some grade A paranoia in an overtly political episode with a film noir flashback. The conversation ranges from HUAC to iMac laptops and tangents include transparent Y2K tech, inflatable furniture, retro fashion trends, shame, Community, Film Noir tropes, femmes fatale, earworms, New Kids on the Block, Trapper Keepers, What We Do in the Shadows, and friendship.

Next time we’ll tackle BTVS Season 5, Episode 2, “Real Me.”

Keep Slaying!
