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…

We’ve all seen Drew Goddard’s insanely original and genre-transforming The Cabin in the Woods, right!? (If not, what are you waiting for? Quit your job and stream it NOW!) How would you like to walk through a real-life Cabin and meet the Hell Lord, the redneck torture family, the Merman, and more, live in the…
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…
