Season 20, Episode 4
It's the one that started it all. Kind of. What was once canon, but quickly dismissed as not related to the hit TV show of the same name, Kristy Swanson kicked vampire ass in the early 90s as the original Buffy. So early, it felt like the 80s. It's Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
How much did I like the TV show? I named our first dog after it.
But I wouldn't have been interested in the show, if it wasn't for the movie. Maybe I would. This film was also one of the first films to introduce me to the idea that actors play different roles. This was the first time seeing Paul Reubens playing a character not Pee-Wee Herman, on his comeback from some legal troubles. (Look it up) Luke Perry actually playing someone not as suave and James Dean-esq as Dylan McKay from Beverly Hills, 90210.
