There's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer tribute show at The Lowry - and it's the ultimate binge watch
It’s been 20 years since Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended - but the Buffyverse is still ever-expanding. Spawning a spin-off show, comics, tie-in novels and a reboot in development, plus countless fanfic accounts and rewatch podcasts, the series has well and truly staked its place in pop culture.
Murphy pokes fun at his source material with the fondness of a true fan, whether he’s recreating the “impenetrable force field of 90s special effects” trapping the Master , or sending up The Bronze’s business model . A recreation of the projector scene from standout episode Hush is another highlight, adapted to introduce Buffy’s bland boyfriend Riley and the Initiative storyline from season four.
But there’s plenty of fun nineties nostalgia to lift any lulls. The Mayor’s graduation speech is parodied to a soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann’s Everybody’s Free , while Anya untangles the complicated web of on-screen relationships in her own ‘Anyanka Explains It All’ skit. There’s a sprinkling of Friends references too - Murphy previously gave the smash hit sitcom the same treatment with his one-man show Friend .
