Do Not Fear Me
June 05, 2019 17:42 - 37 minutes - 51.3 MBThis time, we take a look at poor Mina's super weird movie "date", in which Dracula bought her no snacks, almost ate her as a snack, and then decided to tame a wolf for her instead.

"The Eyes!"
May 22, 2019 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBThis week it's all about "the eyyyeeess!" and when ours are happy or pained. Lucy gets questionable medical treatment for bizarre symptoms, all three suitors hang out again, Van Helsing gets a name drop, and Wolf Watch 2K19 continues. We also pause to acknowledge that we aren't super well equipped to talk about the can of worms opened by some elements of the commentary, but feel they should be addressed in some way. Regarding that, we maybe didn’t do a perfect job of explaining our con...
Cinematograph
May 08, 2019 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MBIn this episode, Mary and Shannon discuss “Cinematograph,” which has almost nothing to do with a cinematograph.

Do Not See Me
April 24, 2019 04:00 - 37 minutes - 50.9 MBThere are several questionable elements in this scene-- the costumes, the character motives, the reason for the scene to exist at all... and Coppola didn't answer any of these queries, so, once again, it's up to Mary and Shannon to try and make sense of it all. *DISCLAIMER-- this scene is graphic and sexually violent, so if discussions of such content are difficult for you, you may want to skip this episode.

Many Strange Things
March 13, 2019 04:00 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBThis scene was full of so many Strange Things, that we had to devote two episodes to discussing it all. This episode brings you the Unholy Description, in which John Harker finally learns to be afraid, explores the castle, and the movie fully earns its R rating. This week, we bring you part of the discussion and The Count-- stay tuned for part two, where we discuss even more, and read our open letter.
Mr. Renfield and Dr. Seward
