Sonja and Claytox look back on the greatest series ever created (ok, there might be a small debate there), but you can hear from them in the podcast.

 

 

Here is what Sarah Michelle Geller had to say on the anniversary:

20 years ago today, I had the greatest privilege to bring Buffy to your tv screens for the first time. It was a long and challenging road to get there. First the movie, then a passed over pilot presentation, and eventually a 20 years ago today, I had the greatest privilege to bring Buffy to your tv screens for the first time. It was a long and challenging road to get there. First the movie, then a passed over pilot presentation, and eventually a mid season time slot on a little known network. That first season, we liked to think of ourselves as the little show that could. While we knew the potential, I don’t think any of us saw the lasting impact our show would have. As an actor, you wish for that one role where you can leave your mark and forever be remembered, with Buffy I got so much more. She’s a feminist challenge to gender hierarchy. Buffy may have been the Chosen One, but I was the lucky one. Thank you to Gail Berman for always believing there was a show in that movie. Thank you to Joss Whedon, for trusting me to give life to one of the greatest female characters ever created. Thank you to David, for always being my Angel. Thank you to James for understanding that while Buffy and Spike may have been love/hate, I have nothing but love for you. Alyson, as any woman knows, you are nothing without the love and support of great female friends, so thank you for being that. Michelle, you will always hold a key to my heart. Thank you to all the incredible actors for seven seasons of amazing performances. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the incredible crew that worked tirelessly (and also really tired) to bring this show to life. And lastly, but most importantly thank you to all of you, the fans. We made this show for you, and your unwavering support has kept this show going long past our seven years. You are everything. And always remember…”if the apocalypse comes, beep me” #buffyslays20

‘Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open’ – Albus Dumbledore,Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire  by J.K Rowling

Sonja Hammer is in the studio for this special podcast with Haydn Klemm one of the organisers of the Melbourne Queer Comic Club :’An inclusive and friendly group for LGBT people and allies who love comics. Come along to our monthly meetings to talk comics and meet new friends!’ 

Haydn helps us catch up on the last meet up where ‘Love is Love’ the : ” response to the tragic summer shooting, ( June 2016),at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL, IDW PUBLISHING collaborated with writers, artists and creators from across the world to build LOVE IS LOVE, an anthology of stories celebrating love in all its forms. With support from DC ENTERTAINMENT and some of the greatest talents in entertainment, the anthology presents tales of no more than 1 to 2 pages each, spread across a 144-page oversized love-letter to the LGBTQ community honoring the victims, survivors and families of the tragedy. All materials have been donated, with all proceeds from sales of the comic going to EQUALITY FLORIDA, a 501(c)4 organization dedicated to securing justice and equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.”

The project is curated by writer Marc Andreyko (BATWOMAN, WONDER WOMAN ’77) with collaborators from all walks of life.

‘Andreyko described the book further, saying “It’s called “Love is Love” — the tagline I’m using, that I stole from someone else on the Internet, is, “It doesn’t matter who you love, just love somebody.” Some of the stories are very powerful and very specific to Orlando, a couple people who lost friends and family have done pieces for the book; people that live in Orlando have done pieces for the book. Some people have done pieces that aren’t Orlando-specific, but they’re about love; there are one and two-page stories, there are pin-ups, there are illustrated poems. DC is letting us use their characters in the book.” from an article found here 

List of creative contributors here  

This Months meet up is on Monday Feb 27th at Hares & Hyenas in Melbourne:

Our book this month is Vision vol 1: Little Worse Than a Man (2015, w: Tom King a: Gabriel Hernandez Walta, #1–6).

Vision, a synthetic man and member of the Avengers, decides to build himself a synthetic nuclear family. Like all nuclear families, it’s intense, creepy and not a great idea. King’s writing makes the title part Blue Velvet, with a splash of Watchmen.

This title was a brave direction at a time when the character hit the mainstream thanks to the Marvel Avengers 2 film.
We will follow this book with volume 2 in March.
Entry by donation.

Below: Hayn Klemm from the Melbourne Queer Comic Club 

We dedicate this podcast to the families and loved ones who lost someone due to the Orlando tragedy.

and Sonja chooses Horror Comedy franchise Scary Movie’s Brenda Meeks played by Regina Hall, a strong African American woman and a hilarious talent who made the Scary Movies worthy of a watch -slaying it everytime!

‘Fans of Stranger Things have had fun picking through all of the Netflix hit’s retro references, from the copious E.T. homages to that John Carpenter-esque synth score. But the best nod to the past isn’t the hairstyles, the marathon Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, or even the soundtrack full of New Order and Echo & The Bunnymen songs. No, the real stroke of nostalgic genius is the casting of Winona Ryder as distraught single mom Joyce Byers. From the moment the actress appears, the pulse of every 1980s kid starts to quicken.’ rest of the Rolling Stone article here

MORE Winona here : ‘Doe-eyed and dark-haired, Ryder appeared, for young people who identified outside the mainstream, to be a kindred spirit. She entered pop consciousness in late ’80s as a cult-movie ingénue of sorts, first as the goth pixie Lydia Deetz in Tim Burton‘s absurdist Beetlejuice (1988), and then as Veronica, a too-smart recruit to the mean-girls clique, in the dark revenge comedy Heathers (1989). Soon after, she established her indie cred in Jim Jarmusch‘s Night on Earth (1991) and embodied the Gen X zeitgeist in Ben Stiller’s Reality Bites (1994), in effect, becoming an icon of quirky angst, and in the process, revealing herself to be one of the most precociously talented actresses of her generation.’
