Before Sarah Michelle Gellar took on vamps in Sunnydale, there was "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992)! This campy cult classic gave us Kristy Swanson as the original Buffy, Donald Sutherland as her mysterious (not Giles) mentor, and Paul Reubens stealing scenes as a delightfully over-the-top vampire. But does it hold up?

In this episode of Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes take a bite out of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and break down what works, what doesn’t, and how it compares to the beloved TV series. Is it an underrated gem or just a fun relic of the early ‘90s?

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
