What happens when a teenage valley girl is chosen to save the world from vampires? Apparently, she gets cramps, killer reflexes, fabulous clothes, and absolutely zero parental supervision. Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham revisit the gloriously bizarre 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and discover that it may be even more entertaining now than it was back then.
They talk Kristy Swanson's iconic Buffy, Luke Perry's peak-Dylan energy, Donald Sutherland's extremely questionable trench-coat introduction, David Arquette's surprisingly creepy vampire, and the unforgettable Paul Reubens death scene. Along the way, they unpack the movie's very 90s approach to teenagers, adult situations, fashion, boundaries, and the complete absence of concerned parents.
Then the conversation takes a detour into Practical Magic 2, Sandra Bullock's comeback, and the kind of female-powered movie Natalie wishes Hollywood would make. It's nostalgic, ridiculous, surprisingly thoughtful, and exactly the kind of pop-culture therapy Put Your Books Down was made for. Grab your favorite 90s memories and come laugh with Natalie and Angela.
