First stop, the streamers! Netflix? Hulu? Amazon Prime? The usual suspects. Sadly, the movie isn't always available on these services. Sometimes it pops up, then vanishes like a vampire in sunlight.

But hear me out. The Buffy movie is... charmingly bad. It's like a time capsule of early 90s fashion and questionable special effects. It's so bad, it's good!

"It has everything: Pee-Wee Herman, Donald Sutherland being wonderfully bizarre, and a totally different take on Buffy."

Plus, it's fun to see the origins of the Buffyverse. Even if those origins are a little... rough around the edges. It's interesting to see how the characters and story evolved into what we know and love in the TV series.
