Watcher's Diary #22: If You Want To Hear Drusilla Say "Moo"

In the middle of a rambling, delightful Watcher's Diary, host Kristen reveals that a listener named Carl sent her clips from Kids in the Hall — a sketch where the title card reads "He's Hip. He's Cool. He's 45." This is the exact same joke Jenny made in a song about Kristen's aging eyesight and enlarged phone font. "Nothing ever really changes," Kristen marvels. "There's nothing new under the sun."

This episode of Buffering the Vampire Slayer is a free-form Watcher's Diary, meaning the hosts Kristen and Jenny have no set agenda beyond answering listener emails, sharing pet sounds, and letting the conversation wander wherever it wants. The throughline is loose but consistent: the episode is a celebration of fandom, deep-cut references, and the joy of being a person who cares intensely about niche cultural artifacts.

The Survivor Monologue and Its Limits

The most substantial segment comes when Jenny, under a new time limit imposed by Kristen, delivers a passionate update on Survivor 50. The poll results are in: 44% of listeners voted that Jenny should be allowed to talk about Survivor "as long as Jenny wants," but Kristen decrees a five-minute cap, with the option to try for two. Jenny goes for it and clocks in at 5:23.
