Welcome to the unofficial podcast after show for AMC's Interview with the Vampire.  Join Joann, Marc, and Kristina as they react to the fifth episode "A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart". If you haven't watched this episode yet, beware, because here be spoilers.  The Vampire Insiders are giving you their hot trash hot takes, discussing how the series is diverging from (or remaining true to) the source material, who their stand out characters are, and what's going on in the character arcs for the four main characters.  They also include a couple of fun segments: Easter Egg (and fan theories and conspiracies) of the week and body count.  Count on Joann to be sassy and controversial, Kristina to look for the academic why of things, and Marc to be...well... a LOT.   Special thanks this week to our twitter followers who submitted topics that they wanted to hear us discuss.  Those subjects are peppered throughout and made this a lively conversation.  We are grateful that you come to listen to us each week and if you do enjoy us, please share us with a friend.

Follow VI on twitter @vampire_insider or Marc at @marceatspeach, Kristina @kristinagenx and Joann @justblockme_1; on Facebook at vampire insider and on reddit at VampireInsider.
