My first experience with Buffy was through the film, starring Kristy Swanson. I was entertained; I was inspired. I think people can say what they want about the film, but the reality is, it laid the foundation for the show. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was among one of the first reboots of that decade. When the […]
The Walking Dead has somehow simultaneously become both water cooler talk and cult classic. It’s in a strange middle ground, as it has a powerful group of dedicated fans that are neither small, nor quiet.
