On this episode we talk about the 90s indie film Habit. Directed by indie legend Larry Fessenden, Habit tells the story of Sam, a 30-ish alcoholic living in New York grieving after the loss of his father. Sam falls into a seductive relationship with Anna, a mysterious woman who may be a vampire. As his obsession with Anna continues, and his alcoholism, grief, and loneliness get worse, Sam’s reality blurs as he descends into sickness. A pivotal movie of low-budget, indie 90s filmmaking, Habit continues our Degenerate Vampire marathon.

Other topics include Fessenden’s connection to the indie scene and Scorsese, degenerate vampires in Near Dark, physical media and Vinegar Syndrome, the influence of 90s indie filmmaking, the quality of the Jurassic Park sequels, out-of-print Criterion collection, new artwork, and post-2000s Spielberg movies leading up to Disclosure Day.
