Season 4 of Angel is in the bag! Come join the hosts and discuss character arcs, missed opportunities, predictions, and more. Thank you to all the lovely listeners out there who sent in questions. We will catch you in a week with season 5 episode 1!

Jun 29, 2023

Welcome to the season 4 finale! After ending world peace (I swear it's not how it sounds), the crew is treated to a little surprise for their efforts. They get executive level jobs at Wolfram & Hart! (Ok, really, I swear it's not how it sounds). What does this nefarious corporation have in store for us though. I guess we will need to wait until season 5 for that one...assuming season 5 exists. Thanks for listening!

Jun 22, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 21! After his trip across the multiverse to kick butt and take names (literally and figuratively), our hero is ready to take Jasmine down a notch. Unfortunately, Connor stands between Angel and the power that was. Will it be patricide or infanticide? Thanks for listening!

Jun 15, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 20, folks! This week, the gang is on the run from Jasmine's brainwashed population. We end up underground with a motley crew of survivors and a spooky spider demon with a penchant for blood magic. Luckily, said demon also knows a VERY important secret. Thanks for listening and remember to submit wrap-up questions!

Jun 8, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 19! Jasmine, our immaculate lord and leader, is spreading her influence like a virus....a serene virus. If only Fred could keep her blasphemous nose out of our burgeoning eutopia, the world may finally find peace. Maybe someone should do something about her? Thanks for listening!

Jun 1, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 18! This week, Stas is thrust into a completely new POV, but, is it really? We don't know the answer but we do know that Jasmine was born just a few minutes ago and already looks a lot like Gina Torres. No wrinkley baby skin or anything. Luckily, we all LOVE our new god...leader....person. We love her and nothing will ever change that. Thanks for listening!

May 25, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 17! This week, we get the dirty deets about Cordi's heel turn. If exposition isn't enough to wet your appetite, we also have an impossible birth via virgin sacrifice. Now, kneel before the baby! Thanks for listening.

May 20, 2023

Join us for the biggest SECRET EPISODE of Pop Culture Role Call! This is the behind the scenes of the roller coaster ride that is Cordelia’s evil Season 4 arc. Join Stasia as she tries to piece together the who/what/why of her character during the episodes of S04E13 - S04E15 of our podcast. Thanks for listening.

May 18, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 16, folks! So, turns out Stas has been keeping a BIG old secret from the gang and some of you helped her lie. Shame on you, but also, great work. Cordi is this season's villain. Not the "she made some unethical choices" kind of villain, but a true and honest big bad. Let's see how this shakes out. Thanks for listening!

May 10, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 15! After banging our heads against the proverbial wall for a few weeks, Fred finally has the wonderful idea to call in an expert. Enter Willow! She is fresh off her villain arc, coursing with new found power, and ready to catch up with old friends. We're in good hands! Thanks for listening.

May 3, 2023

Welcome to season 4 episode 14 of Angel! After Angelus took down Jimmithy (aka the flunkie; aka the beast), the true big bad decided to have some words with the vampire menace. Just words though, since he is talking to him telepathically. But, Angelus isn't anyone's flunkie replacement so that doesn't go well. Meanwhile, Wes is trying to get Faith to fight dirty, to fight like Angelus. Thanks for listening!

Apr 27, 2023

Hello and welcome to Angel season 4 episode 13! In the metaphorical and literal darkest hour, the show runners decided to toss one more spanner in the works. Enter Faith! But...wait, what is this? Something is different. Faith is usually an unwelcome force of nature. But I DO love the way she shames Connor at every turn. Huh. Let's see where this goes. Thanks for listening!

Apr 20, 2023

Hello and welcome to season 4 episode 12 of Angel, folks! This week we find the secret, black magic, sketchy way to get Angel's soul back in his body. But.....did we? Angel is kinda looking thirsty and conniving. Thanks for listening!

Apr 13, 2023

Hello and welcome to season 4 episode 11 of Angel! Angelus is back and talking all kinds of crap to everyone involved. Tempers flare as everyone's dirty little secrets are broadcasted over security camera. But luckily, no matter how much of a bastard Angelus is, we can always just put his soul back and...BOOM! Right? Definitely. Thanks for listening!

Apr 5, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 10! Angelus is back and cackling like any good villain would. Is he also laughing because of all the good dirty jokes that come out of their "moment of true happiness" situation? That's why I'm laughing, but who knows. Maybe listen and find out? Thanks!

Mar 30, 2023

Welcome to season 4 episode 9 of Angel! The apocalypse is here and people are dying, lots of people. But Gwen (Ms. Electric Hands) is back and playing second string hero for the fractured crew. Is that enough to save the sun from the inky black? Thanks for listening!

Mar 22, 2023

Welcome back to Angel! It's season 4 episode 8 this week and the gang is all together again. I wish I could say that reunion was a happy one, or that bridges were being built....but that just isn't how it's going down right now. What is going down? A bunch of lawyers over at Wolfram. They have a wolf in the hen house and a lot of bodies on the floor. Thanks for listening!

Mar 9, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 7!..... It's the last one :). Ok, maybe not the actual last one. But boy howdy was it almost. We are not into these Cordi/Connor kissing crimes. Bad. Not good. Let's see if we can get Stas to sit back down at the table next week. Thanks for listening!

Mar 2, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 6! Huge shout out to the B-squad Emily, Meghan, Mark, and Ruben! That's right, it's another one of those: "we lost our memories so other hosts were called to action" things. Hosts and dogos alike. Keith has a slick spell in his back pocket that might just get Cordi her memory back. Does it work? Thanks for listening!

Feb 23, 2023

Welcome to Angel season 4 episode 5! Y'all....this season is making some BOLD choices. And, by "bold" I mean kisses I don't want to hear about. Fred has a big moment as a respected academic. Followed swiftly by a big moment as an agent of revenge. But revenge never quite manifests the way you intend. Thanks for listening!

Feb 16, 2023

Welcome to season 4 episode 4 of Angel! Cordi is back...sort of...in a way. While she is back in body she can't seem to remember the Cordi we all know and love. Can the gang deal with ANOTHER major curve ball? How about the hosts? Stas isn't even the one watching for Cordi. Ariel is stepping into those fabulous shoes. Nothing is normal and we just gotta be ok with that! Thanks for listening.

Feb 9, 2023

Remember: What happens in Angel season 4 episode 3 stays in Angel season 4 episode 3! The gang (minus Mr. Price) goes to Vegas this week and reunites with our old buddy Keith. All is right with the world once again. After a mystical game of chance steals Angel's fate the goddess Cordelia decides that this is the moment, no more sitting back and waiting to be saved. Angel hits a jackpot, wins his destiny and Cordelia...well, we aren't quite sure what exactly happens with Cordelia. Thanks for listening!

Feb 5, 2023

Join us for the second ever SECRET EPISODE of Pop Culture Role Call! Once again it's Collin and Wesley's (and Lilah's) secrets that have been revealed, this time in S04E02 of our podcast. Same as last time, this episode was recording before Collin's co-hosts figured him out. Thanks for listening!

Feb 2, 2023

Welcome to season 4 episode 2 of Angel! The goddess Cordelia spoils a secret because....she can do whatever the hell she wants. So shut up. But while she floats around in heaven, or wherever she is, Angel meets a cat burglar with magic hands and kissy lips. Too bad she "kills" Gunn. Thanks for listening!

Jan 26, 2023

Welcome to the first episode of Angel season 4, folks! Wes dredges Angel off the bottom of the ocean with the "help" of your friendly neighborhood throat slitter. Meanwhile, Gunn and Fred are holding things down as best they can. But, money is tight and Angel's progeny is up to no good. Thanks for listening!
