About Us

Return to the Hellmouth is a podcast that began on March 10, 2017, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Welcome to the Hellmouth.

Emcee, Andie, David, Jan and Logan will review an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel. They will go over the character arcs, how that episode fits into the grand scheme of things and just how well the episode holds up twenty years on.

New episodes go up every Tuesday.
