On the April 25, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer Bill Bria to gather around the virtual water cooler to talk about what they’ve been watching lately. In the Water Cooler:What we’ve been Watching:Bill saw Hereditary in IMAX, the first two Maze Runner movies, and Cool as Ice.Ben caught up with The First Omen and Immaculate, watched all of Conan O’Brien Must Go, and saw Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. Listener e-mail: Lorenzo from Sarasota, FL, wrote in about our recent episode where we talked about our favorite vampire films. Lorenzo says “both of my favorite live-action vampire movies were mentioned, but my number 1 favorite vampire movie is actually an animated movie, and I wanted to give it a shout out: The Batman vs. Dracula.” He calls it “underseen and underrated,” and explains that though it’s set in the continuity of an animated series called The Batman that debuted in 2004, “the film is a standalone story that can easily also be enjoyed even without the context of the show.” He says it’s “atmospheric and creepy,” it stars Peter Stormare as the voice of Dracula, and it even gives us Vampire Joker, with Tom Kenny’s Penguin basically filling the Renfield role and delivering comedy gold throughout.”

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Interviews: Writer Arash Amel and Actor Babs Olusanmokun

On the April 19, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor BJ Colangelo to talk about Abigail and present an interview with Radio Silence, the film’s directors. Opening Banter: I want to read some quick feedback from our vampire episode yesterday. Eddie from Los Angeles wrote in saying “Thanks for another fun episode. Most of my favorite vampire movies at least got a shout out, but I do recommend 2012’s Byzantium, directed by Neil Jordan, who also directed Interview with a Vampire, and stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. It’s a more realistic take while still having style, and it covers some themes you won’t likely find in other vampire tales. I’ve always thought this was underrated and underseen, so check it out. And of course, where was Vampire’s Kiss?
