We’re all a little obsessed with “Buffy.” The demon-hunting, vampire-slaying heroine captured our attention in the late 90s — along with the man behind the series, Joss Whedon. His Whedonverse of hits includes everything from “Angel,” “Firefly” and “Dollhouse” to the DC and Marvel universes. But in recent years, the person we thought of as a feminist icon in Hollywood has been accused of toxic and inappropriate behavior.
Recently, he addressed the various allegations in a Vulture article, and he admitted many things that we can’t unread. Now that we know what we know, should we look at the Whedonverse differently?
Then, we remember Andre Leon Talley, the cape-wearing fashion icon who taught us about style.
You’ll hear from:
Caroline Framke, chief TV critic for Variety.
Robin Givhan, senior critic at large for the Washington Post.
