from Vampire Videos · host Film Stories

[BONUS] As a mid-season treat, we're covering Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first season from 1997, which concerns a teenage schoolgirl called Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who's also 'The Slayer' who must fight against the forces of darkness... And helping us explore this cult favourite TV show are two Buffy super-fans: film critic Kat Hughes & film writer and podcaster Lindsay Drysdale... 🎯 The Agenda ~ [ 00:00:22 ] Primer with Dan & Hugh Before things get underway, we take a moment to talk about our personal histories with the popular series. When did we first discover BTVS? Were we fans at first sight? Did we come to it in later life? And how are we going to tackle covering all seven seasons? ~ [ 00:28:30 ] "Welcome to the Hellmouth" & "The Harvest" with Kat Hughes In the two-part series premiere, Buffy arrives in Sunnydale seeking a normal life after being expelled from her Los Angeles high school for burning down the gym (which was, naturally, full of vampires). ~ [ 01:50:21 ] "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" with Lindsay Drysdale Buffy attempts to balance her responsibilities as the Slayer with her desire for a "normal" teenage life, where she can date the hot new boy in class. 🎙️ The Lineup Hosts: ⁠ Hugh McStay⁠ & Dan Owen⁠⁠ Guests: Kat Hughes & Lindsay Drysdale Editor: Hugh McStay⁠⁠ "You're standing at the mouth of hell.
