Ep. 101 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

What do you get when you mix vampires with mall culture and then throw in Paul Rueben? You get the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Originally a box office bomb and critically panned, Buffy the movie found its home through video rentals and became one of the biggest cult classics of the 90s. 5 years later, the film's screenwriter Joss Whedon adapted the film into a TV series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, and Nicholas Brendon. The show became an immediate success and is considered to be one of the best TV shows of its time. Along with the pilot, we discuss the original film, our history with the film and how the two compare to each other. We also decided to have a belated celebration going into the hundreds and had a little cocktail while recording. Enjoy!
