Happy Halloween, fellow slayers! We are celebrating the day AND ending our sPoOkY musical season with a bang...or a fang in this case. Join Alex, Daisha, and the Scooby Gang as they all embark on the TV show musical episode that started it all: “Once More, with Feeling,” from Joss Whedon’s cult series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"! Alex and Daisha gush over the show and its the concept, as well as break down the episode, and share our thoughts about the music and how it was executed. Now sit back, relax, and binge on expensive candy you pretended to buy for the trick-or-treaters and enjoy the show! It'll give you something to sing about!
