Our next episode is here! Listen in as we cover Tod Browning's 1935 film Mark Of The Vampire. This was a fun one! From probably sapphic to maybe suicidal vamps, tragic fires, and the history of film preservation, we talk about it all!

TW: Brief discussion of themes of suicide and incest

Join us this week as we talk about Frank R. Strayer's 1933 pre-code horror film, The Vampire Bat!

We'll discuss the film's production history as an attempt to capitalize on the monster movie trend sweeping Hollywood, its wonderfully dated tonal dissonance, and if the film is, gasp, even a true vampire film!?

TW: Discussions of ableism, unethical medical practices and experimentation, and racism.

Hello and welcome back from our holiday break! We're kicking the year off by jumping almost ninety years into the future with a special host's pick episode: Julia Ducournau's Titane!

Released in 2021, Titane is Ducournau's second feature length film. The film was a critical success, receiving the Palm d'Or at Cannes. Ducournau is the second woman to win the award.

From its difficult-to-define genre, outrageous sex scenes, and complex gender politics, Titane makes for an unforgettable watch. Join us for a fascinating conversation about a fascinating and controversial film.

TW: Discussion of SA and inc*st.

Join us for this week's episode on Carl Dreyer's 1932 film Vampyr. Our first non-Dracula film! We cover the various titles, cuts, and critical receptions the movie has received over the decades. And we even debate the merits of drowning in water versus flour.

Join us as we take a bite out of George Melford's 1931 Dracula. Filmed concurrently to the Tod Browning and Karl Freund version, this Spanish-language production, while not successful upon release, has been critically reappraised as just as good, if not superior to the original.

In the episode we will cover the film's unique production history, its technologically ambitious elements, and what works better in this adaptation.

TW: Discussion of SA

Good evening! This week we will be covering Tod Browning and Karl Freund's 1931 horror classic Dracula.

TW: Discussion of SA at 1:29:02
