This week on New Release … count Derrick and coo-coo Drew explore the tragic origins of an OG vampire. Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by The Godfather himself, is a gothic romance spanning oceans of time. Costumes, hair, blood, boobs … Coppola dials everything up to the absolute max in this beautiful movie—except for maybe Keanu’s energy. Dude is chill AF considering the circumstances. Regardless, every frame is a visual feast and Gary Oldman never met line of dialogue he wouldn’t make sweet love to. Listen as we do our best to navigate this unwieldy beast of orgiastic cinema. When the seas are choppy, we push harder. When the dirt is evil, we desecrate it. You too can join Van Helsing and his band of merry horses by searching ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple. That’s where you subscribe.
