Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 1 Episode 2, “After the Phantoms of Your Former Self.” We join Louis post-vampire transformation as he adjusts to his new immortal life. Discussions include the mindful handling of race-bending Louis, the resulting intersectionality of Louis and Lestat’s relationship, and more, and Bobbi shares the catharsis of seeing a Black vampire depicted on-screen in this way. The girls share their hot takes in “Start Your Take” and collectively lose their minds over how much Lestat would love the 1944 film “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “The Trolley Song.”
