Podcasting through iconic 90s TV

Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure Show Art

A critically acclaimed podcast rewatch adventure, featured in The New York Times, Paste Magazine, Esquire, Time, and BBC America

Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure began in 2016 with Buffering the Vampire Slayer: an episodic rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hosted by Jenny Owen Youngs (professional musician & recreational Whedonverse aficionado) and Kristin Russo (professional writer & former goth teen) — and now continues through some of the most iconic genre shows rooted in the 90s and 00s.

Buffering’s work has been met with critical praise from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Time, and Paste Magazine! Not bad for two girls with a love of 90s nostalgia and patriarchy-smashing.

our newest rewatch adventure:

The Ex-Files

Welcome to The eX-Files, an episodic rewatch podcast in which Jenny Owen Youngs & Kristin Russo dig into every episode of The X-Files, spoiler free, one at a time.

Jenny grew up watching The X-Files when it aired, but Kristin has only ever seen the pilot episode. (Her review: "hot.")

The podcast’s title — The eX-Files spelled with an “e” — is a credit to our relationship: in addition to being longtime business partners, we are also ex-wives.  *cue spooky music*

  • Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo, now podcasting partners and ex-wives, recap every episode of The X-Files one at a time, spoiler free.
