If We Had a Patreon: Movie Clubbing Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hello slayers! We’re back with *another* very special episode of the show. SAG is still on strike so we are movie-clubbing 1992’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui and written by Joss Whedon. We get into the megawatt stardom of Luke Perry, Kristy Swanson’s surprising singing voice and engaged body during “stunts,” and Hilary Swank as a popular girl. We also get into the delicio us cameos from recent topic, gossip columnist Liz Smith as well as Easter eggs about the high schools used for filming, the end credit song, and everything we could find out about Michele Abrams and Natasha Gregson-Wagner. Did you watch it? Tell us what you thought!
