Sunday, July 31 show hosted by the 30 Years Later podcast, with hosts Ricky Camilleri (AOL Build) and Chris Chafin (Vox, Rolling Stone).

“All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die.”

Buffy! The movie that launched the show that launched the career of Joss Whedon, a man in his 50s with a legacy so influential and fraught that you might think he’s a former president, and not a guy who’s good at writing believable monster-fighting teenagers.

Following the Sunday screening, stick around for a live episode of the 30 Years podcast, which has hosted authors, filmmakers, critics, and film professionals from The New York Times, Sundance, IndieWire — and got David Rees to watch Point Break for the first time.

We’ll be celebrating the film and trying to understand how Whedon’s arc from outsider to insider to culturally monolithic force to a backlash exposing the hostility and shallowness that was there all along tells us so much about nerd culture and comic book films.
