Buffy the Vampire Slayer turns 20 today, and it still remains one of the most important and influential shows ever created. When Buffy debuted March 10, 1997 on The WB, it helped the merely two-year old network solidify its audience. While, yes, The WB used Buffy to primarily target teens—along with other mainstays like Dawson’s Creek and Felicity—the show quickly showed what it was capable of,…
Want to feel old? Buffy the Vampire Slayer turns 20 this week. That’s right, Scoobies—Buffy hit The WB on March 10, 1997, serving up a bloody good blend of horror, comedy, and drama, garnished with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s biting (pun intended) display of wit and killer 90’s fashion (which almost feels straight out of yet…
What would happen if the Stranger Things and Buffy ‘verses were combined into one bizarro alternate universe of badness? I think Hawkins + Sunnydale would surely bring the 12th apocalypse and we’d need to beep Buffy ASAP. (Personally, I don’t think the former could handle the epic awesomeness of the latter, but hey, that’s just me.) Lucky for us, someone…
Fans of popular culture usually show off their fandom in many ways: tattoos, art, pets’ names, original songs, cakes, etc. And since this is the Internet, land of the weird and home of the macabre, I’m sure there are far scarier examples of that floating around.

If you’ve read this blog more than once (the commitment required – I know!), it’s no secret that I am part of Joss Whedon’s army. Specifically – Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite show of all time and, in my opinion, it’s one of the best television series – fantasy or otherwise – to…
It’s Friday and you know what that means: time to celebrate some Happening Shit – and there’s plenty to chat about this time ’round. Let’s hit it: Simon Pegg’s New End of the World Flick Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are a dream team of sorts; they’re geeky film fans who make movies…
In the middle of writing, directing and cranking out the third highest grossing movie of all time (The Avengers), Joss Whedon collaborated with some friends to make yet another movie, because clearly the man is not a fan of sleep or free time. The movie in question: Much Ado About Nothing, a modern-day version of…
This post is spoiler free. Sure, Dexter, Homeland, Game of Thrones and Mad Men are worthy competitors, but it’s time to face the facts: American Horror Story is the best show currently on TV. There. I said it. Horror may not be everybody’s bag, but Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story has been consistently delivering all…
Although everyone and their adoptive mother’s third cousin has already reviewed Marvel’s latest superhero soiree, I would still be so, so remiss if I didn’t comment on the super-mega-ultra blockbuster. I’m somewhat remiss by posting this nearly a week after the powerhouse raped and pillaged the box office and made it its bitch, but dammit,…
