    Welcome to our '90s Vamps series! This October, we'll be discussing some of the most interesting vampire films of the 1990s.

  • Episode 88: Cronos ('90s Vamps #2)
    Oct 20 2023

    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)! Bri and Leah are known members of the GDT cult, so I think you can guess how this one turned out.

    If you'd like to hear us discuss GDT some more, check out our Blade II episode here:

  • Episode 87: From Dusk Till Dawn ('90s Vamps #1)
    Oct 13 2023

    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!

  • Episode 86: Let Me In
    Oct 7 2023

    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.

    Sep 22 2023

    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!

    Sep 18 2023

    Join Leah and Bri this summer as we recap the new episodes of season 5 of What We Do in the Shadows! We are so excited to cover this season episode-by-episode as it airs. This a double feature because the penultimate and final episodes of the season aired together. We are covering 5.9, "A Weekend at Morrigan Manor," and 5.10, "Exit Interview" (both aired August 31, 2023). The Guide gets her revenge; then Guillermo and Nandor finally face off after the truth is revealed. We have MANY feelings about the finale, don't you worry.
