Was this the 80's? Was this hazing accurate? Is Australia this terrible to it's LGBTQ+ Community? We're confused!

Vamps (2012) sure did try to be Clueless but it sure didn't have Jane Austen to bolster it up. No stakes for ep 73 of the pod. No garlic either. Lame. Things We Learned: KC doesn't see sub-genre apparently. She has a condition. Un-Sub-Genre-Itis Was it a good adaptation? Or just a copy-cat who copies? Tell us in the discord cause we're STILL fighti…

Fright Night (1985) has the sexiest Humperdink we've ever seen. Things We Learned: SMC and Kacey think Taylor loves Now and Laters (she does), but what they meant was Hi-chews. Hi-chews are like… the Lacroix of Starbursts. Also, Now and Laters are called this because they’re made of a soft taffy on the outside with a harder center that’s not hard c…

El Conde (2023) is the first vampire film we've liked IN AN ETERNITY OF TIME even though that nun was terrible at her job, we'll have a teacup of blood with Margret Thatcher any ol' night of the week.

Nightbreed (1990) is not or is or isn't or but is it a vampire film? You be the judge. All we know is that he stuck those blood covered fingers aaaaaall the way down his throat. Things We Learned: The ultimate in body horror is dropping a sloppy pastry on the ground Cop Rock! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098772/ "There's a vampire boyfriend out th…

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) was a tumor on a tumor on a tumor of some very decent bones from a deep cut chapter of Dracula AND SOMEONE IS FURIOUS ABOUT IT. (Hint: it's not KC) Things We Learned: Demeter was the Goddess of Harvest and Dracula is the harvester of stupid movies that could have been good. Dracula is an excellent example of an…

Blacula (1972) was educational for film history and fashion for sure, but not great for the exploitation of black culture. NOTE TO LISTENERS: We bailed out of Ganja & Hess (1973) and then watched Blacula instead. We talk about both at the same time! You are patient and sweet and we thank you for your understanding in this confusing matter. Things W…

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) is about titties and the twisting of them. Truly, the masterpiece of our time.

SM will come to Burning Man if you get her an airstream trailer (donation link in the notes below!) So many KC & SM feets are fea…

We watched what Kacey believes to be THE BEST Nicholas Cage film ever made. And if Renfield (2023) wasn't the best, she's never going to watch Leaving Las Vegas anyway so the point is moot. SIGH.
