1.05: The Zit

Kristin Russo and Joanna Robinson rewatch all 19 glorious episode of My So-Called Life, one at a time, spoiler free. In celebration of the show's 30th Anniversary we have added The Boiler Room to our Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure family with special introductions ft. Jenny Owen Youngs!

This episode originally aired on September 26, 2019.

Angela's life feels just about as clogged as her pores and meanwhile *both* of Sharon's boobs made the infamous Top Sophomore Girls list. Rayanne excitedly touts her listing as "most slut potential" (which gives us a lot of feelings), Rickie explains to Brian why he wears eyeliner, and Patty is sewing floral dresses for the mother-daughter fashion show while dabbing cream on her eye wrinkles. We have arrived at one of THE BEST episodes of the entire series, folks, so please journey alongside us and Kafka — it's S1E5: The Zit!
