November 17, 2023 20:00 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MB

Welcome to our '90s Vamps series! This October, we'll be discussing some of the most interesting vampire films of the 1990s. This week, we talked about Abel Ferrara's 1995 vampire film The Addiction.

October 20, 2023 20:00 - 51 minutes - 35.1 MB

Welcome to our '90s Vamps series! This October, we'll be discussing some of the most interesting vampire films of the 1990s. This week we cover Guillermo del Toro's first film, Cronos (1992/1993)!

Episode 87: From Dusk Till Dawn ('90s Vamps #1)

October 13, 2023 04:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MB

Welcome to our '90s Vamps series! This October, we'll be discussing some of the most interesting vampire films of the 1990s. We kick off the theme with From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's vampire crime western that spawned off a franchise. Bri and Leah had never seen it before, and we were... not of the majority opinion. If you love this movie, maybe this episode isn't for you! If you'd like to catch up on our coverage of other 1990s vampire flicks, check o...

Episode 86: Let Me In

October 07, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB

This week, Leah and Bri dive into Let Me In (2010, dir. Matt Reeves), the American remake of Let the Right One In. While this film is pretty well regarded as far as English-language remakes go, we both find it lacking. If you haven't listened to our episode on the original, make sure to check that one out, too! It's much more positive. As always, this episode is marked explicit for a handful of f-bombs. Support the Show. Sound effects credits: “Creaking door.wav” by visualasylum of Fre...

Episode 85: Last Voyage of the Demeter

September 22, 2023 12:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MB

This week Leah and Bri cover a relatively new release, The Last Voyage of the Demeter (dir. André Øvredal, 2023). Taking inspiration from a single passage in the Bram Stoker classic Dracula, this film spins an embellished tale of the last doomed voyage of the cargo ship the titular vampire took over on his way to England.  Find out what we thought of this latest 'surprise' Dracula fall content, spoiler: we disagree!   Support the Show.

July 14, 2023 06:00 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MB

This week, Bri and Leah disagree about the merits of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003, dir. Stephen Norrington).

July 02, 2023 00:00 - 41 minutes - 28.6 MB

This week, Leah and Bri chat about another Irish vampire film: Boys from County Hell (dir. Chris Baugh, 2020). We enjoyed this folk-horror spin on the usual vampire lore! We're out here stumping for Shudder (our favorite streaming service) yet again. As usual, this episode is marked explicit for some swearing.  Support the Show.

May 26, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB

For our momentous 75th episode, Bri and Leah finally decided to cover Only Lovers Left Alive (2013/14, dir. Jim Jarmusch). This film is a personal favorite of both hosts and a major entry in the 21st-century vampire film canon. We previously discussed this film briefly in our Hot Vampires Valentine's Day special (episode 21), if you want a little more Only Lovers chat! Support the Show.

Episode 74: Underworld: Blood Wars

May 05, 2023 07:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MB

That's right, it's time to wrap up our Underworld coverage with an episode on the fifth (and so far final) installment in the franchise. Underworld: Blood Wars (2017, dir. Anna Foerster) doesn't end the series with a bang, but we still liked it better than Awakening. Stay until the end for Bri and Leah's official Underworld rankings. As usual, this episode is marked explicit for a handful of f-bombs and a description of a s*x act.  Support the Show. Sound effects credits: “Creaking door...

Episode 73: Renfield

April 21, 2023 04:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MB

This week, Bri and Leah chat about a new release! We're talking about Renfield (2023, dir. Chris McKay). If you want to listen to the review but haven't seen the film yet, you can listen to the first part of this episode! In a change of pace for us, we stay spoiler-free until 17:52. (We also verbally note in the episode when we get to the spoiler section.) As always, the episode is marked explicit for some f-bombs (as in, we rank Nic Cage's Dracula on the scale of "Draculas Who F***").  Sup...

April 14, 2023 04:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

Join Bri and Leah as they attempt to explain the Canadian cult curio that is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001, dir. Lee Demarbre).

Episode 71: The Transfiguration

April 09, 2023 00:00 - 59 minutes - 41.2 MB

This week, Bri and Leah discuss The Transfiguration (2017, dir. Michael O'Shea). We talk about how this film positions itself in the lineage of "realistic" vampire movies like Martin and Let the Right One In.  **CORRECTION: The Transfiguration did get a limited theatrical release in the U.S. after its North American festival debut at SXSW in 2017.** Support the Show.

Episode 70: So Vam

March 31, 2023 23:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB

This week, Leah and Bri take a look at the Australian, microbudget, queer, transgender vampire film So Vam (2022, dir. Alice Maio Mackay).  We did look into the research on Bram Stoker's sexuality, and here's a good primer on why it's more than likely that Stoker was a closeted gay man: https://www.salon.com/2022/08/30/dracula-queer-horror-bram-stoker/  (This isn't the most academic of articles, but it's well-sourced, dishy, and not behind a paywall!)  Support the Show.

Episode 69: Blade II

March 18, 2023 04:00 - 55 minutes - 38.5 MB

This week, it's Guillermo del Toro time! We're talking about Blade II (2002). This episode is marked explicit for some swearing and, uh, blood cocaine.  CORRECTION: Leah incorrectly states that the three films GDT made before Blade II were not in English. Del Toro's second film was, in fact, in English; he made Mimic (1997) for Miramax's Dimension Films. Del Toro has publicly talked about how much he hated the experience of making this film, so maybe Leah just erased it from her memory in s...

Episode 68: Ravenous & Bones and All (Cannibals with Vampire Vibes)

March 12, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

This week, Bri and Leah do something a little different: we're talking about cannibals! But these cannibals could definitely pass as vampires if they wanted to. We're looking at Ravenous (1999, dir. Antonia Bird) and Bones and All (2022, dir. Luca Guadagnino). While these films might seem like a weird double feature... hear us out! The articles Leah promises at the end of the episode: David Ehrlich for Rolling Stone on why Ravenous is the greatest cannibal Western ever made: https://www.ro...

March 03, 2023 08:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MB

This week, Bri and Leah chat about the recent Irish horror-comedy Let the Wrong One In (2022, dir. Conor McMahon). Surprising no one, we reveal that our favorite man on Buffy is Giles. This episode is marked explicit for some f-bombs, as usual. Support the Show.

Episode 66: BloodRayne

February 25, 2023 05:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MB

This week, Bri and Leah discuss the absolute worst vampire film of the 21st century: Uwe Boll's BloodRayne (2005). It's... something. We hated it, profoundly.

Leah and Bri have periodically released the parts of this series over the last year; this is the final installment! Each part thematically groups pre- and post-2000 Dracula films.

This week, Bri and Leah chat about the Netflix original action-comedy Day Shift (2022, dir. J. J. Perry). The main theme of this episode? How much we hate Dave Franco.

This week, Bri and Leah chat about a recent indie gem: My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To (dir. Jonathan Cuartas, 2021). We dug this grim, disturbing, low-key spin on the vampire film. As usual, this episode is marked explicit for a handful of f-bombs. Show Notes: If you're curious (or if you think you recognized any spots and wanted to confirm, like Leah did), The Salt Lake Tribune ran an interview last year with writer/director Jonathan Cuartas where he talked about all of the l...
