Conversations With Dead People

“Mist...cemetery...Halloween. Should end well.”   Stephanie Graves is back with me to discuss two more episodes of the Happy Funtime Show, otherwise known as Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6. In episode 605, “Life Serial,” we get some genuine laughs as the show finds the humor in young adults struggling to find their way in the grown up world. There’s ANOTHER damn numbered shirt; Jonathan has a magic bone; and the second most important character in the entire series (after Spike) finally shows up: CLEM! And then, in 606, “All the Way,” Tara’s not much into timber; Giles cleans his glasses; and Dawn goes parking.   Next: it’s gonna be an all-singing, all-dancing podcast extravaganza as we finally get to the Big Show...episode 607, “Once More, With Feeling.” (Note: I will not actually be singing or dancing.)   THE BREAKDOWN Run Time: 01:21:20 00:00:55 - Intro / Guest 00:04:06 - Main Topic 01:17:00 - Outro / Next   THE LIBRARY Joss Whedon vs. the Horror Tradition: The Production of Genre in Buffy a
