Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

Will and Noah revisit the film version of the much more popular eventual TV show spinoff of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which stands out in stark contrast from its sharply-written, empowering small screen cousin.
While plenty of stuff from the early '90s (and even a decade or more later) doesn't hold up terribly well in 2021, nearly every aspect of this one stands out.
Regrettably, I could not find the song from the soundtrack allegedly sung by Kristy Swanson (referenced at 38:20).
So grab your stakes and get your DiCaprio pointing GIFs ready for the Ben Affleck scene as we send this remnant of pop culture back to the graveyard, hopefully for good.
