'Van Helsing' Exclusive Interview: Brad and Cort Talk to Andrea Ware and Vampires by Pure Fandom

Welcome back, Martians! Brad and Cort are back to dive into this weeks episode now that everyone has left room 5 things have taken a turn for the worst. Jules and Margot realize they’re still in the No-End House but have different ideas on what they need to do next. J.D. didn’t actually have that big of a crush on Jules it seems, well not enough to worry much about her.  Maybe if he had things might have worked out a little better for him. Of course, with the house leaching, the memories of its victims escape appears to be a hard thing to accomplish. Although it isn't impossible. Is room six just The Matrix? What is up with those orchards? We also discuss how those who don't escape they room end up becoming part of it. Don't worry though, we made sure to talk about the cannibalism.

Besties Jules and Margot enter No-End House and get much more than the cheesy haunted house they were expecting. The Horrors that await inside are strangely more personal and darker as they venture from one room to the next.

In the S2 finale, Clootie’s awake but he's not at full strength. Widow Mercedes pulls a double cross and decides she can do bad all by herself. She and quite a few spend the rest of the episode trying to get their grubby paws on sweet little baby Earp. Badass Mama herself manages to still kick much behind even mid-labor. Rosita pulls her own double cross and it's a very emotional and revealing episode all around.

This week, Syfy's "creepypasta" series returns with a second installment of creepy goodness. Channel Zero: No-End House is set to premiere on Wednesday, Sept 20th. Just so there's no confusion, this will be a completely different tale from last year's installment, Channel Zero: Candle Cove. 

Listen in as Brad and Cort briefly discuss the nature of "creepypasta" tales and the upcoming installment from Syfy. This six-hour installment was inspired by Brian Russell's "creepypasta" tale and tells the story of Margot Sleator (Amy Forsyth) and her bestie, Jules (Aisha Dee). The pair visits the No-End House, a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms and experiences. The true horror comes for Margot when she returns home to find things not quite the same. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort briefly preview the series

If it feels like the end, that's because it is. As our season finale comes to a close, and with no news of renewal, it looks to be a series finale as well. But if you thought that would mean all of our questions would be answered, you're probably pretty upset right about now. That's not to say we didn't get some closure, but we also got left with a lot more questions.

We definitely didn't get the happy ending we were hoping for when it came to Arthur and Grace. There was a slightly less miserable ending for Arthur, but it was still pretty bleak. Chris and Aki was another couple that certainly didn't get the ending we were hoping for. Certainly not the expected ending either. But with Blood Drive, we should have learned by now to expect the unexpected. Slink's ending was definitely fitting, even if it's not the one us fans wanted because we just want more episodes!

One thing is for sure, there is still a possibility this show could be renewed. People thought dead could still be alive. There are still many places the show can go. So join Brad and Sarah as they not only break down that explosive finale, but discuss possible futures as well. We would love to hear your theories on the matter as well so leave us a comment or two!

Blood Drive season finale airs Wednesday, September 6th on SyFy at 10/9c. Check out more podcasts from Brad and Cort Talk.

With the season and possibly series finale looming before us, will all of our burning questions be answered? Or will we all be left behind to become drones and clones for Heart Enterprises? Arthur has achieved full Primo status, but it seems that status goes hand in hand with another type of status. Being a douche. If you were worried about Chris, don't feel bad, there was a moment or two there where we were convinced Arthur had just killed his best friend as well.

As for Arthur and Grace, they may have had a huge battle and almost maimed each other, but lovers will fight. In the end Arthur was able to turn back around and they got back to taking Heart down. But if you thought Slink was going to let them leave without him, you clearly haven't been watching the same show as we have! He's got one last team up left in him! So enter the Blood Garage, where we only have your best interests at Heart. (See what we did there?)

Listen to our recap and drop a comment letting us know your thoughts and feelings on episode 1x12 "Faces of Blood Drive". Feel free to leave us your final theories as well! Brad feeds on them like a blood engine feeds on people. Sarah mostly just gets confused, but she is great for moral support!

The end is near! Or is it here? Technically we have a few more episodes left (thank goodness) but the race did come to an end. Kind of. We think? All talk of racing went out the window as a battle dome ending decided our racers fates. We had a shocking reappearance as we said goodbye to a few favorites. Spoiler alert! We're looking at you Domi and Cliff. I say spoiler alert, but I hope you have already watched the episode. If not, you should get out of here and come back after you watch it! Or be a rebel and continue reading and listening!

It came down to Grace and Arthur in the end, so who ultimately walked away Primo? Join Brad and Sarah as we discuss this game changing, game ending episode of Blood Drive! Don't worry, there was more than enough blood to keep you satisfied, you bleeders! For an added bonus, there was also a bit of Smax Candy added in. So step into the thunder dome, I mean Blood Garage, and we'll tell you everything you need to know!

Listen to our recap and drop a comment to let us know if you thought episode 1x11 "Rise of the Primo" was mind boggling like we did! Leave us any theories you have as well! Brad loves to analyze them as Sarah tries to throw logic where it doesn't belong!

Oh, Wynnona where art thou? That was the question on our lips after last week's episode left us with a disappeared Wynonna Earp and Doc stuck in that well. For the most part, this episode was all about Team BBD and what that looks like without a Wynonna Earp in their lives. What is Waverly like if she never had her big sister Wynonna, and she's been all alone after the deaths of her father and Willa? Clearly, that spark between WayHaught can't be dimmed even under the glamour hanging over Purgatory.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this season's penultimate episode. Doc climbs out of that well and wanders into a world that's definitely not the way he left it. Wynonna and baby Earp are nowhere to be found. The widows are closer than ever to freeing their hubby. Waverly is getting married and not to her girl crush. Dolls and Jeremy are running things over at BBD with Rosita. It's a world gone crazy and revenants are running amok with an heir to rein them in. Were you as excited as we were to see Bobo finally make his return? He's the king after all. Hit play and then drop your thoughts in the comments. One more episode after tonight. Eek!!

We get a little glimpse into the normal this week as Arthur makes his way to Cronenburgh. Well, as normal as things can get on Blood Drive! In this episode normal meant noxious, hallucination inducing gas. The type of gas that helps you look past the imperfections of all those around you. To be specific, the horror inducing disfigurement as a result of the scar. Will Arthur and Grace ever get a real taste of what normal could be?

Join Brad and Sarah as we break down all the illusions on this week's episode of Blood Drive! We've got weddings, last meals, and difficult math. But we can't forget Slink saving the day! If that's not enough to have you shaking your head in wonder, we also have a major team up! Slink, Arthur, and Grace are riding off into the sunset together for one last ride. They're also not the only ones. Chris and Aki decide it's time to meet back up with Arthur as they get a sweet ride themselves. Although, theirs seems to have a few more road bumps.

Need more details? Don't worry, we've got them! Listen to our recap and then drop a comment to let us know if you thought episode 1x10 "Scar Tissue" was as great as we did!
