Buffy matters - if anything, the series solidified the serial TV musical episode. But it also did so much for TV with its experimental storytelling and ahead-of-its-time genre-bending. Dr. Sabrina Boyer and I discuss these things, personal connections to Buffy, and a little bit about Buffy Studies.
