Scream Queens: Sarah Michelle Gellar (with Jackie Johnson)
It’s the final episode of Scream Queens Month, and Dara and Troy are joined by Jackie Johnson (Natch Beaut) to talk about the original late-‘90s scream queen — Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The trio dives into SMG’s Cruel Intentions era, her Emmy-winning soap days, the Susan Lucci feud, ‘90s L.A. nostalgia, and why this cover still slays (hehe).
