April 19th, 2019I did it. I watched every episode currently of the Netflix Original The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and I've come out the other side with quite a few thoughts, theories and revelations. One such is how much it reminds me of growing up in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer era.
If you haven't seen at least the trailer for the first season on...

October 6th, 2017When I was growing up, I, unsurprisingly, loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy had quick quips, lovable characters, ham-fisted romance and all the action you could want. So, it's no surprise that I introduced it to my teenager once I thought she'd get into it. Now, well, she's more of a fan than I could ever be! My teenager, Bella, gave...
