Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog review

Posted on by

I was re-watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog today when I suddenly realized that I had never reviewed it. Conceived and filmed during the 2007-2008 Writer’s strike by Joss Whedon, his two brother’s (Zach and Jed) and Jed’s wife Maurissa Tancharoen, the show came out during the summer of 2008 to rave reviews and a fresh eye towards online video.
