Voccine No 40 - Buffy Special! (part 1)
Sunday, September 7th, 2008The Voccine Buffy special is finally here! Christina Jeurling and Tomas Seo take you on an almost three hour Buffy extravaganza, jam-packed with interviews, banter and discussions about Buffy and the series place in the pop culture world.
Who is creator Joss Whedon? What was the Buffy writers room like? How has Buffy influenced other series such as Gossip Girl and Veronica Mars? And why is Buffy just plain fun? These are just some of the discussions in this first installment of the Voccine Buffy Special.
In part 1 we are honored to interview writer, director, producer Steven DeKnight and English Professor Michael Adams
Steven DeKnight knows just about everything there is to know about the Joss Whedon writing room. Not only was Mr DeKnight a writer on Buffy, he also wrote for Angel and directed several episodes of the series. He is now a consulting producer on Whedons new series Dollhouse, premiering in January 2009.
Professor Michael Adams of Indiana University is a historian of the English language, a lexicographer and an author of many books and scholarly papers. One of his area of study has been jargon and slang and he has authored the book about Buffy-speak called Slayer Slang: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon.
In a Voccine first we are doing this entire special in english. Enjoy!
