Aug 11, 2022

Andddd that's a wrap for season 2! Join the crew as we discuss the second season of Angel, answer your questions, and predict the future of Angel and his friends!

Aug 3, 2022

Welcome to the final (we are almost 100% sure) episode of season 2! Can the gang find a portal home while also keeping their heads intact? Not that losing your head is a definite death sentence. Karaokeith proved that one. But we want to get out of here and if we need to incite a violent revolution to do that, well.... that's the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks for listening!

Remember to get in your season 2 wrap up questions!

Jul 27, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 21 of Angel! We have left LA behind for the blue skies and entrenched prejudices of another world! But, hell, Cordi is living it up as a freshly minted princess and Angel can see himself in a mirror. So, goods and bads. More bads than goods though by the end of it, as we say goodbye to a beloved member of our circle. Thanks for listening! Remember to send season 2 wrap-up questions to: popculturerolecall@gmail.com

Jul 20, 2022

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 20 of Angel! Alright, everyone get in the portal! After Cordi was unceremoniously zapped into another dimension last week, the rest of the team (plus KaraoKeith) zap themselves in right after her. But when KaraoKeith says "they hate humans through that portal", that isn't going to cause any major issues, right? Thanks for listening!

Jul 7, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 19, folks! A portal opens up at Karaokeith's house of song, letting some nasty business in from the world's beyond. Can his charisma carry him through the chaos? Luckily, where there is paranormal trouble, you have a friend in Angel Investigations. Thanks for listening!

Jun 30, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 18 of Angel! Bro Esquire is back in the limelight this week with an acoustic guitar, a song in his heart, and a transplanted hand that's certifiably evil. Cordi is still struggling with the effects of horrifying visions after she sees a dude gouge his own eyes out. Which, I would argue, is totally valid. Thanks for listening!

Jun 23, 2022

Well hey there, Harmony! Welcome to season 2 episode 17 of Angel. Great to see you again after all this time. How is being a vampire? Thank goodness you decided to be a hero and definitely won't betray us or anything. That would be really mean and Cordi has been through enough, right?.....right??? Uh oh. Thanks for listening!

Jun 16, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 16, the one where Angel has an epiphany and hopes that solves everything. It doesn't... Spoilers. But, it's a start and helping to save Cordi from a group of parasitic demons doesn't hurt either. We are on the road to forgiveness! Thanks for listening!

Jun 9, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 15! Angel...oh, Angel. What are we going to do with you? Hopefully your elevator ride with a "dead" man helps open your eyes to the way of the world because we want our friend back. Wes could probably use another friend or two, he might have lost a lover. Just, knock before you come into our office and grumpily steal a book next time, huh? Thanks for listening!

Jun 2, 2022

It's season 2 episode 14 this week and damn, is it hard to write a funny description for this one. Ready to talk more about over policing? No? How about reductive racial stereotypes meant to minimize critical civil rights violations? No? Well, too bad. We do tell some jokes though. Thanks for listening!

May 26, 2022

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 13! Friend and fiancé of the show Holly joins us to give voice and name to Karaokieth this week so you know it's going to be a hoot. Angel and Karaokieth are driving around talking about their feelings and talking about the end of time. Both important topics. Meanwhile, Cordi, Wes, and Gunn get their first real gig as the new and improved Angel Investigations team (Angel in name only). Thanks for listening!

May 19, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 12! Gunn, Wes, and Cordi take a bold step forward as friends and business associates. Time to rip up those old Angel Investigations business cards, lease a new office, and start saving LA from the powers of evil. No broody vampire necessary. Meanwhile, a broody vampire is slowly chipping away at the credibility of Wolfram & Hart one charity mugging at a time. Is he doing something "good-good" or just "good-ish"? We'll talk about it. Thanks for listening!

May 12, 2022

It's season 2 episode 11 already! The workers are drinking together in solidarity after the whole team was fired last week. Maybe a song or two will help mend those wounds. Meanwhile, Angel continues chasing his obsession....monologues (and the Dru+Darla duo)! Thanks for listening!

May 5, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 10, folks! So.....anyone hiring? Any acting/vision needs? Anyone in the market for a rogue demon hunter? No? Dang. Well, maybe once Angel calms down and figures out how to solve the Darla+Drusilla issue our employment will sort itself out. Thanks for listening!

Apr 28, 2022

It's season 2 episode 9 this week and some old friends finally find time to catch up! Not in a healthy and fun way, but they do technically catch up. Darla, Angel, and Dru... Only one quippy vamp away from a full roster. Thanks for listening!

Apr 21, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 8 of Angel! Who knew a simple garment could cause so much chaos? Angel and Gunn go undercover in an attempt to thwart a museum crime, but the mystical, blood soaked relic sends out some pretty harsh vibes. Can Wesley and Cordelia get to Angel in time? Fingers crossed. Thanks for listening!

Apr 14, 2022

It's season 2 episode 7 this week and hold on tight because we are flashing back and forth from past to present! We are taken through the rise and fall of Angel's vampiric "friend group". Turns out, Angel won't eat a baby to protect those relationships. Darla sure brought up a bunch of spicy drama. Thanks for listening!

Apr 7, 2022

Once upon a time, in season 2 episode 6 of Angel, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce impersonated his vampire boss and made some questionable moral choices regarding a fair maiden. Please, come one and all, gather round to hear our tale! It is one of humor, violence, and some other stuff! Thanks for listening!

Mar 31, 2022

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 5 of Angel. Darla is back! Little twist though, she's human. Angel can smell his old sire a mile away, which she knows, and she uses that information to toy with her boy (her words). Are her games too complicated for the rest of Angel Investigations? Will we believe Angel is on the trail of his old partner in crime before we wrongfully assume he is slipping into a sleepy version of Angelus? Thanks for listening!

Mar 23, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 4 of Angel! Bethany, a woman on the run, meets up with the gang after squishing a few bastards with a dumpster. She does that with her mind, which is a great way to squish bastards via dumpster. But, can we connect with her enough to help keep her safe? Does she even need our help? Hopefully Angel can crack the case before a non-bastard ends up squished. Thanks for listening!

Mar 17, 2022

Welcome to season 2 episode 3 of Angel! It's a Cordelia and Gunn episode this time around, and y'all... It's not great. There is a demon, there is a fight scene, there is a funny pink helmet. But there is also some pretty racist stuff. Here's hoping the show does better moving forward. Thanks for listening!

Mar 10, 2022

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 2 of Angel! Time for some of that JUICY backstory. A glimpse into Angel's complicated past. A whodunit spanning social classes, decades, and demonic possessions. After the dust settles, it's clear that Angel wasn't always a brooding hero. But he is a land owner, so, that's something. Thanks for listening!

Mar 3, 2022

Why hello and welcome to season 2 of Angel! It's an episode full of contrast. Angel sings Barry Manilow at a demon bar, but, he also murders an innocent. Luckily, he is a soldier and takes up his victim's righteous cause. Hopefully his horse doesn't embarrass him in front of the mysterious tribunal. Thanks for listening!
