This week on Chib Chat our guest, the irreplaceable Gina Kaur Toor, leads us to take a big old step back into the Beforeworld, to 1997, with our discussion of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head, Nicholas Brendon and David Boreanaz).

We think about the restrictions of nineties feminism, gay vampires, scary faces à la Lost Boys style, and the 'chosen one' trope. Our conversation also wanders into the vast stretches of Gina's historical and cultural knowledge, whilst we question the intentions of male feminists in the vein of the show's creator, Joss Wheadon. Is he truly the clichéd white guy who wears a 'This is What a Feminist Looks Like' tshirt simply to attract women, or is his creation a valid attempt at developing complex female characters will inspire young viewers?
