🗡️ “There are worse things out tonight than vampires.”

We’re rolling through August’s infamous “Dumping Ground” Month with a cult-defining banger you can truly sink your teeth into. This week, Henrique and David hit Los Angeles for a late-90s juggernaut that revitalized the superhero genre and made vampires cool again: BLADE (1998).

A half-vampire, half-mortal warrior becomes the protector of humanity, carving through the undead with style, swagger, and a katana to match.

Directed by Stephen Norrington and starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Kris Kristofferson.

🎧 In this episode we cover:

• Is there another film with a more memorable opening?
• The wild logistics of a blood rave—how would that even work?
• Is Wesley Snipes the only actor who could’ve pulled this off?
• Just how much techno can one movie hold?
• Is Whistler secretly the coolest character?

🔥 PLUS:

• The wild variety of 90s vampire movies
• The state of superhero films after Batman & Robin
• Is Liam Neeson a worthy successor to Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun?
• Was 20 years too long—or just right—for a Freaky Friday sequel?
• A teaser for next week’s pick: a rulebook David’s been breaking while prepping 👀
