Eric Trommater and Erin Brown are joined by Nicole de Meneses, who is currently making her own vampire film, and Jennifer Trujillo, who runs the Gilbert Baker Film Festival.

At issue is Carl Theodore Dreyer's "Vampyr," a strange choice from the director of "The Passion of Joan of Arc," "Ordet" and "Day of Wrath." Opinions varied on the film but it was a fun discussion with a lot of respectful disagreement. Oh, and Taylor Swift somehow gets a mention.
