Content Warning: Discussion of torture and violence against women in many forms, including sexual violence, stalking, dometic and intimate partner violence and rape culture.
“I don't know about you, but I had a nice day. You know, except for the bulk of it where I was nearly tortured to death.”
Slay Squad is doubling down on the quest for redemption this week and covering two episodes at once. Penny and Sam dig into these dark stories of violence with as much good cheer as possible, enjoying the chemistry between Spike and Angel. Cordy and Doyle and a guest star visit from Oz. The conversation meanders through queer coding, torture tropes and depictions of torture in popular media, Jack Bauer and 24, Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, the allure of power, ring sizes, vigilante names, Team Cap, the bear vs man debate, Gisele Pelicot, Daniel Sloss, Unbelievable on Netflix (go watch it and show it to the men in your life), and how Doyle needs Queer Eye.
The Slay Squad shares some personal thoughts on current events in the US.
Next time, we’ll be covering BTVS, Season 4, Episode 4, “Fear Itself.”
Keep Slaying!
