Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Tony from ACTA Movies here one two minutes late.
It would have been on time, but then I got
everything set up and I put the countdown. I realized

ever on time live stream. But yeah, we have a
great show planned today. We're talking vampires, and I know
when we talk vampires, you guys want one thing me
with Royce and Pessey, but this isn't Blade boys, but

were airing. Correct. I binge all of these. I've been.
Speaker 1: I binged all of these while also binging other shows
for the channel.
Speaker 2: You know, you know what.
Speaker 1: You know what it's like to watch an episode of
Riverdale on VHS and then switch to Vampire Less.
Speaker 3: I can't even fathom, but I did love. I loved
the texts we were sending back and forth. We're trying
to consume this universe.
Speaker 1: Yes, but before we get all into that, please because
a patron on Patreon or a channel member, I think
Monday I'll be putting an order in for my new PC.
Speaker 2: Patreon dot com slash.
Speaker 1: Ack Themovies Patreon dot com slash Ack the Movies.

shell out some money.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: It was a rough year, Lena, and things started going
good again, and the channel's rebounding, and I'm like, huh, sure,
hope nothing bad happens. Cut to my computer going this
computer is now too old for updates on the editing.
Speaker 2: Program you use and I went, you motherfucker. Oh my god,
damn it. Everything was good again.
Speaker 1: So yes, I'll be picking that up next week. So
Patreon dot com slash ACKed movies. We have so many
great things there, like a commentary track. Me and Lauren
did a commentary track for Obsession, which is now streaming
on peacock. Were you that movie, Lina, And now you
can watch the movie with me and Lauren talking during it.
That's the best way to watch the movie, they say.
Speaking of vampire commentary tracks, if you go back a
little bit, mean you have one for Nosferatu.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was our Winter Vampire Endeavor. Yes, yes, that.
Speaker 1: Was last year when I realized I only did Friday
the thirteenth, the mission possible commentary tracks like shit, I
got Variety last.

in town.
Speaker 2: It was perfect.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can get all that there. I will
be putting a video out this weekend. I got the
Mortal Kombat four K Collections spelled with the K box
set and I did a whole on boxing and I
go through that. It's pretty awesome. You can even gift
a Patreon membership, you know. In Anne Rice there's the
dark gift. This is the hack gift that didn't work.
That didn't work. I was going for something there, it
didn't work. I did that on the fly. Should have
should have workshop at a little bit.
Speaker 3: I was. I was in that corner no matter what. Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can give someone a membership if they can't
afford it because they make poor financial decisions.
Speaker 2: Uh. And you can sign up for free and you
get the free podcast feed, the free video feed. Anything
that's free here or on the podcast feed will be
free on Patreon.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good time over there. You can also
book me on cameo. I was booked for something weird recently.
Speaker 3: How weird?
Speaker 2: Nothing like crazy, Like it's weird.
Speaker 1: When they like get me to like congratulate someone on
like a wedding, and I'm like, why me.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they'll be like, could you give them some advice?
I'm like, why would I give wedding?
Speaker 3: Getu GHIs? You can get weirder with Tony. Come on.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing the two guys who were hiring me to
shit off each other on video games, I guess they
each other in real life.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I haven't been booked by them in a while. I
guess they entered their video game.
Speaker 3: War or Enemies to Lovers my favorite trope.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're now in a gay romance and they're
gaming together. Please buy some merch on the retroware store
and you can see me in Vernon Downs, New York
at the sci Fi Harp. I'll be there with movie
Dumpster and Cecil from Good Bad Flicks and guys. I tried,
I tried.
Speaker 2: I know it will be boys month, and I made
all the calls to security, and somehow Crystal got in.
I'm really sorry. Crystal will be there, but you can
just ignore her when you're there to meet me. Yeah,
just just pretend that she's not there. But it's gonna
be a great time. It's gonna be a great time.
And also.
Speaker 1: I talked to Payson Khan my birthday weekend. Payson Khan.
Apparently the Italian members have hacked the movies will be
able to get press passes. Sorry, Lena, you're out. Uh
dang it, Lena.
Speaker 2: The first thing I did was message Johannah because she
found out she's not Italian anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say you. The screenshot of my results right,
it's like zero Queen zero zero zero percent Italian.
Speaker 1: So yes, we will be walking a bunch of guidos
on this channel, will be walking around Payson Khan. I'm
gonna wear my traditional Italian garb, which of course is
the Rocky Force track Rocky four tracksuit, so that'll be
a good time.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: I still be giving them a list of names, so
hopefully they remember that we're supposed to be on a list.
Interview with the Vampire was a book that spawned a
whole series, Lena, it wasn't book, yes, and a few
years ago I read three of the books in preparation
for a review for Interview with the Vampire, which I
have on this channel, and a review for Queen of
the Damned, two very different movies in terms of quality,
and yet.
Speaker 4: Both beloved, both have huge fans. Yeah, so this will
be my second time talking about this universe, or at
least some stories in this universe.
Speaker 1: But since then I've only read The Body Thief of
the fourth book in the series. So I need I
need your help on this, Lena. Going through all of
these shows because in twenty twenty an Rice she got
I guess at some point she got the rights back
to all her stories and she was shopping this around
with her son and AMC.
Speaker 2: I guess got the rights to do all of these shows.
She fortunate, Yeah, give it for me.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, an Rice didn't live to see the outcome of
all of these, which was a bummer. As I said
in that video, I wasn't trying to cash in on
her death, much like Betty White, who I was trying
to cash in on her death and she totally screwed
me over. But yes, the first series is, of course
Anne Rice's interview with the Vampire.
Speaker 3: Before we get started. Okay, super chats, everybody, Oh.
Speaker 2: My god, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Yes, we don't acknowledge it.
Speaker 2: We're oh my god, Lena, I like an idiot.
Speaker 1: I have the live chat here, I'm seeing what all
the poor chat are saying.
Speaker 2: No, I don't want to see the poor chat.
Speaker 1: I'm clicking over to start, so only chatnel members and
people leaving super chats will be able to get to
ask us questions or make us say stuff within reason.
But he actually just remind me I gotta pull up
the twitch chat because I also count bits.
Speaker 3: On uh perfect on what.
Speaker 1: You we call it on Twitch. But then I always
forget to put it up here. Hold on, let me
he pop out.
Speaker 2: I I knew I forgot something.
Speaker 3: Now that's we got you, Tony, we got you. Can
I just say how honored I am to be the
last female before Boys Month.
Speaker 2: I wait for Boys Month. Oh my god, it's so exciting.
Speaker 3: Any of it.
Speaker 1: We got a we got a great line up for
Boys Month. It's amazing. The first episode is experimental. It's
gonna be beautiful. I won't say what the movie is,
but it's me and Joey C on the road where
we've reviewed a movie while on the road.
Speaker 2: It's great, it's great, sounds safe. It was very safe.
Actually okay, it's also not done.
Speaker 1: We we totally dropped the ball. But you'll hear about
it all in the episode. So please che a super
chat or a bit on Twitch. And I don't know
a rumble rant.
Speaker 2: There's like no one's watching on rubble anyway.
Speaker 1: Anne Rice's interview with the Vampire the series. Now, I
wasn't super hyped for this when it was coming out
because at that point I had finally read the book
and then rewatched the movie, and much like Anne Rice,
who says it at the beginning of your VHS, tape
when you turn it on, that movie is like a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: It totally nailed it.
Speaker 1: It's one of those that it did it so well
you don't need to do it again. But if you
are gonna do it again, have a little fun with it.
That's a I've learned to go into adaptations like that,
like Haunting of Hill House. Yes, yes, the sixties Haunting
nailed the book did it perfectly. There's no way you
can top it.
Speaker 2: They tried it.
Speaker 1: In the nineties with a cgi smoke ghost Monster going Ah,
didn't work out.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like that movie, but it didn't work.
Speaker 3: The cast like you would think. The cast was like
a home run.
Speaker 1: But yeah, But then the TV show came to like, hey,
what if we told the story in a different way
since the other.
Speaker 2: One did it so well.
Speaker 1: We still explore the themes and everything, and I thought
that was great. Same thing with the Hannibal series. I
avoid it watching the Hannibal series for so long because
the movies maybe not Hannibal so much, but the movies
are actually pretty good adaptations.
Speaker 2: And then I went in with that mindset.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna as long as it sticks
to some of the core things I will go into this.
And then in twenty twenty two, I believe this came out.
I put on the first episode and I saw the
vampires having sex and I went, nah, ah, you are.
Speaker 3: So you're really attached to this whole vampire is not
having sex thing.
Speaker 2: Because it's important to the stories.
Speaker 1: Why because that's one of the things that makes them unhuman.
They connect on such a weird, deeper level that we
don't quite understand through psychic energy and blood. But in
this it's like, yeah, they also pound each other. And
I was just like, oh, fuck off.
Speaker 2: And I never watched it afterwards until that.
Speaker 3: That was it for you. That was they crossed that
line and you were like, I'm out.
Speaker 1: There were some other issues and actually, let me let
me just recap season one.
Speaker 3: Let's do that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So season one we get to meet an old Dan
malloy interviewing Louis Now. He apparently had tried this in
the seventies, which is funny because that's when the original
book came out and Louis attacked him. He's unclear exactly
what happened, but he's dying. He has what's his issue?
He has an issue Parkins Parkinson's yes, and it's getting
pretty bad, so he kind of needs the money from Louie,
who now lives in Dubai with Rashid Rashi, who you
can see here, who is wearing gloves, and as soon
as you see him, you're like, that guy is a
secret vampire. And I'm like, this dude is definitely a
secret vampire. I don't know who he is, probably one
of the lame ones. I can't wait till Harmon shows
up on the show. That's what I said as I
was watching. So as I watch it, we go into
Louie's backstory. We get to see his crazy religious brother,
which I appreciate because that's one of the few things
that was left out of the other adaptation. But yeah,
so when they first said Louis was going to be
a black guy, I went, well, it's twenty twenty something,
of course, but I was like, wait, is he gonna
be a slave owner? I mean, they existed, but it's
not popular to talk about. And then I realized they
updated the timeline.
Speaker 2: They moved it post Civil War, and I was like, well, okay,
as long as they don't make him any other kind
of stereotype. So he's a pimp.
Speaker 1: He's a pimp, and I'm like, huh, I'm like, no
one in the writer's room. But wait, I think we
might be doing a different bad thing.
Speaker 2: But whatever.
Speaker 1: He's a pimp in New Orleans. He runs a brothel.
He has a lot of money. Some people like that,
other people don't. His brother ends up dying, he ends
up killing himself because he's just all crazy religious stuff.
And he runs into a vampire called the Stat late
by I forgot all their names.
Speaker 2: Do you ever read Sam Reid?
Speaker 1: Yes, so you have the Stat there and they strike
up a friendship. Next thing you know, he's all sad,
his life is crumbling.
Speaker 2: And the Stat makes him a vampire. They become a vampire.
Speaker 1: He gets ostracized from his family, and Louis gets all
sack because he doesn't like killing people. He's forced to
kill people. He's still holding on to his humanity, which
is like the classic story. And at some point Claudia
comes in, who they've aged up a little bit, uh
with some of the stories they were telling. Yes, I
get why they aged her up, but yeah, so they
do the whole like kind of my two dads thing
with Claudia they're family for a bit. She goes away
and meets another vampire who does stuff that physically they
would not be able to do in the book. But anyway, Umm,
she gets attacked. She comes home. Uh, you know Louis
and Lstat. They have some bumps in their relationship. At
one point, Louis Lastat flies them up in the air
and drops them like a crater u. They eventually reconcile,
have a big party, kill a bunch of people, and
then Claudia kills Lastat. Claudia and Louis kill the Stat
and they head off to find the New World. Oh
and spoiler, that little shrimpy guy ends up being armand
and Sea one. Season one ends at the the New
Orleans end of the book. Now, Lena, what did you
think of Season one of Interview with the Vampire?
Speaker 3: So when it first released, I actually waited a couple
weeks to watch it because I was so afraid that
they were going to ruin it. And I was very worried.
And I remember watching an interview with Sam Reid and
Jacob Anderson and they said, please remember that we are
fans too, like we don't want to mess up either.
So I finally sat down and watched it, and I
was I think, because the book turned fifty years old
this year, so I think you have to update it
and you have to make it more appealing to this audience. Now,
if you want to keep the books alive, you just
have to write so now, because of this new people
are going to go find the books. So I appreciate
what they're doing with it. I liked that it was
more culturally diverse. I think that that would be more
realistic for vampires, that it would be more culturally diverse.
You're saying about the sex. I like what they did
because the thing about uh Lestat is that he is
you know, he's toxic, you know he's bad news, but
you can't stay away from him because there's just something
about him, right, And I think that they portrayed that
very well, and so it was believable that they would
that he would keep coming back and keep coming back,
keep coming back. I was a little shocked by the
armand reveal. I clocked him as a vampire very early on. Yeah,
did not expect him to be armand yeah.
Speaker 2: He said what he said, this is the vampire mond
I went.
Speaker 3: I was like, what, so, I mean I was in
enough to see what they were going to do with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: The first few episodes are rough, and they are definitely
like they're talking so there's this thing about the vampire
convergence that might happen.
Speaker 3: The Great Vampire Conversion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like an apocalypse thing.
Speaker 1: But they talk about one of the signs is COVID
and I'm like, oh, yeah, right, twenty twenty two, probably
twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: No, no, I know, yeah, the.
Speaker 3: Writers and I was like, I forgot about all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the writers.
Speaker 1: Well this week it's hard to forget about it because
Fauci's on trial. But yeah, it was like the writers
were just like, oh my god, it's blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And it's funny like a season later, they don't have
to bring it up. I'm like, oh, wasn't that like
the old thing?
Speaker 1: My problem is the first few episodes, Leno, it's more
about how rough it was to be a black.
Speaker 2: Guy in the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he's like, and also, I'm a vampire,
but let me tell you it was hard to be
gay back then.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I already know all of this vampires.
Speaker 3: Right, So I like that they used the fact that
he was black and they were never going to give
him a chance, and then out on top of it,
he's gay and they were never going to let him in.
Even when he bought that nice club, even when he
had all the money, they still were talking behind his back.
So it gave him the rage that he needed to
light the place on fire. Right. I liked what they
did with that as far as like he was never
he was always on the outside, and I think that's
what made him so vulnerable to the stat And.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 1: It's just those early episodes just go really hard on it,
and I'm like, we're gonna get to the vampire stuff eventually.
Speaker 3: Right, right, yes, say the vampire stuff.
Speaker 1: Is used as like an analogy for things, right, Like,
you're just outright telling us, but I already know a
lot of media tells me. I'm aware. It just went
really hard. Claudia ends up saving the show when she
comes in. It finally like gets to where you want
it to go.
Speaker 3: I agree. I do think the beginning the first two
episodes are almost like reading the book to be able
to write the book report. It's like there is a
lot to take in. There's a lot that you have
to agree with. There's a lot. There's a lot where
you're just like, where is this going. I do like
that they keep throwing in like in interview with the Vampire,
they talked about the Mayfair, which is down the street,
and then you know, like the way that they keep
the universes crossing over. But I agree with you that
by the time the first season ended, I was like, Okay,
I'm in enough to see where it's gonna go this
second season, but I'm not like madly in love with
it yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: However, and again, everything you said about Louis could be good.
I just I couldn't get into his character this season. Yeah,
like Louis is supposed to be Winey, I get it.
I think even Anne Rice like stopped including him in books.
Speaker 3: So you've talked about this, Tony. I hate the whiny,
self hating vampire. I hate it. We have Louis, we
have Angel from Buffy, we have all of these. It
happens in the Vampire Diaries. Is like this whole self
hating like just walk into the sun. Ah.
Speaker 1: Well, it works with the books for Louie because the
second book is the Stachoing. That guy's a fucking cry baby.
That's a liar, and so I like that guy.
Speaker 3: This is what I mean. It's like, if you stick
it out, it does pay off eventually.
Speaker 1: And I think I think the problem is in a
TV like it worked in the movie.
Speaker 2: It was fine. I think in a TV show you
got like seven episodes of him being whiny. I'm like, okay,
can we can we cut through a different character at
some point? Like this is almost too much whiny for me?
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the people who loved it loved it,
and so I think, like with you, you probably only
stick it out for this. You know. I actually was
into it enough to keep I have the DVDs. I
was into it enough to keep watching. But I could
see where people bowed out. I get it. Yeah, I totally.
Speaker 2: Get it, but damn Alloy, I actually like, uh it is.
Speaker 3: Lucian is still freaking good in the show.
Speaker 2: And he's I learned.
Speaker 1: When we get to season three, I'm like, Wow, they're
actually giving him a lot to do.
Speaker 2: I know he's in the book, he's just kind of
then asked questions.
Speaker 1: He eventually becomes a vampire, So I'm like, why are
they building him up? I can't wait till this other
character shows up and then I find out that that character,
so that he's pretty much merged with another character.
Speaker 3: But we'll talk about this with Mayfair Witches too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: I am glad. If anybody is going to get a
beefier part. I think that he deserved it. I think
he's so good in this, and I think that it
scratches the itch that some of us had from the
ninety from the nineties movie of like let him turn him,
let him see what happened, Like you know what I mean,
Like you wanted that payoff and he doesn't get it
in the movie.
Speaker 2: Well, it's implied he's going to get it at the
very end. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I love what they did with this, and I
love and we'll get to it. But I love his
backstory with the vampires and why they brought him back,
and so I love how they they tied in fifty
years ago versus now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was wondering why they aged him up
so much, and then when I realized I realized who
he was replacing, it ended up making sense.
Speaker 2: I love, but we'll get to Yeah.
Speaker 1: But no, this season was fine enough. I actually once
I got through it. I'm like, Okay, that was good again.
Claudia is like the best part of it. She cast
I know, because they wanted to keep her young.
Speaker 2: I get well, but I think.
Speaker 3: She got Avatar right.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was I think in one of the avatars,
and then she got brought back for another avatar, and
I think.
Speaker 2: That's I have not watched it, and I get it.
Speaker 3: Like it's I get it. It's she probably even signed
a contract that says, yeah, we do another thing, you
are coming back.
Speaker 2: But she's really she's really really good in this.
Speaker 1: She's always writing to her diary. They recreate some of
the moments that you remember from the like her cutting
her hair off. I think she grows it all back.
But Lestat is definitely the standout. He is even at
moments where I wasn't really digging the show, he was
so good.
Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying, is like, I no offense
to Tom Cruise, no offense to Stuart Townsend, but I
don't think anyone ever truly captured the I know that
you're going to fuck up my life. I know you're
bad for me, but I can't stay away. And he
does it in such a way where you like, I
would keep falling, I would keep going back. Yeah, because
he's got that little bit of charm to him.
Speaker 1: And the Tom Cruise defense, he was only ever the
badless stat like now like this show, they kind of
humanize him a little bit in this, more so when
he gets his own when he takes over the show
right right, right right, But we never got to see
like the Tom Cruise lestat from his point of view
because they never made those these instead Queen of.
Speaker 2: The Damned like idiots. But no, I was. I ended
up liking this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ended up liking this more than I thought
I would.
Speaker 2: But those first few episodes are very rough, and.
Speaker 3: Again all the shows in this universe, yeah, the first episodes.
Speaker 1: And again the first episodes just being like, did you
know the South was a racist?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm aware. I'm aware. I've seen
a lot of other movies and stuff cover this.
Speaker 1: Can he gets the vampire again, It's fine if it's
like an analogy. If you're using the vampires, then it's
a little just like, well, I already know I've watched
documentaries and stuff.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it. But yeah, I guess
enough people liked it.
Speaker 1: They brought it back for season two, and in hindsight,
it was smart that they ended season one at the
end of New Orleans.
Speaker 2: I agree, which, by the way, I love that. What's
his face? Daniels is like, oh, yeah, you thought you
killed uh?
Speaker 1: By the way, Daniel's great because he'll just call everyone
on their bullshit and he knows they're lying. It's like, oh, yeah,
so you killed the staff, but you conveniently put him
in a box. Yeah, a garbage thing that you know
has rats that he could feed.
Speaker 3: On, and in a trunk that locks from the inside.
You can get to see that. Claudie is like, we
need to burn him, and Louis refuses to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Daniel's pretty good because he knows when they're
bullshitting and he wants the book to be accurate, and
he'll poke holes in their story. And as it goes on,
you realize Louis is not remembering everything.
Speaker 3: Right is another thing I loved about this What do
they call it the Odyssey of Remembering? Way?
Speaker 2: Well, I just call it unreliable narrator.
Speaker 3: But right, well, Dan, Louis even says, like I was
reading in your book that you talked about talking to
your daughter in her car seat, only to be reminded
that car seats wouldn't have been invented yet. So it's
like the way that our mind will will play tricks
with us, and the way that Louie's memories start to
get clearer and clearer and clearer throughout the show, and
he's recognizing what an unreliable narrator he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, one of the great things about
the shows that they're all assholes. Even Louis at some
point will be like, yeah, I'm just like a selfish
cry baby.
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody in this show is one hundred percent
villain or one hundred percent hero.
Speaker 2: It's just they're not in this show.
Speaker 1: And Nyfair wishes there's those group of young men that
are trying to kill those demonic women. They're the heroes.
I'm so sad when they died anyway, but we'll get that.
We can't skip ahead to the brave heroes. Season two,
he continues telling a story to Dan and now Dan
had by the way, there is a real Rashid. I
love that the new Indian guy comes, and I love
in season three he's still around and Louie's like wait, real,
Rashid's name is actually Rashied.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it's a good joke.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we learn what happens after they left New Orleans. Uh,
they were traveling. This is World War one. Uh so
they're traveling around World War one Europe looking for other vampires.
They know they're out there. List that didn't tell them
a lot. Actually rewinding a little bit. I thought it
was interesting they didn't do the stuff with Lestat's dad
because in the book, the old thing is Lasat's tricking Louis.
Speaker 2: He's like, I've been around for a while.
Speaker 1: Then you find out he's only been a vampire for
a few years, Like his dad is still alive and
he can't bring himself to kill his own dad.
Speaker 3: Unreliable narrators all around.
Speaker 1: But I realized they didn't do the dad stuff because
of what they revealed season three. They ended up making
the sad is actually way older than he is in
the Yeah, because.
Speaker 3: Remember in the book, the reason they were dining on
empty plates is because his dad was blind. Yeah, and
so they had to pretend like they were eating Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think in the movie they said it was
just a trick. The slaves and means and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're in Europe, they're looking for other vampires,
they can't find them. Then we get an actual scene
from the book that I wish was in the old
movie The I Always fuck It's Revenant right.
Speaker 3: In the woods yep.
Speaker 2: So basically, this is.
Speaker 1: What happens when a vampire just kind of loses their mind. Yeah,
and just doesn't have like a community or anything anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, and they were explaining to like the blood there
is bad because the people like aren't eating well and
they're like living in misery and like it's turned the
blood bad, and yeah, that's what happens.
Speaker 2: There is like a COVID of vampires there. Yeah, but
they're all kind of just losing it.
Speaker 1: But this is if you remember the original movie Tom
Cruise at the end, he's starting his transition into this
That's why vampires have to keep That's why Herman has
to keep getting younger people. Yeah, yeah, I'm up to
date on like what's going on, so they can blend
in with the world. And Lestat didn't do that, so
he started going crazy until he heard rock music anyway,
So yeah, they get to have the fight with the Revenue,
which was a good part in the book because they're like, well,
we've found one vampire. It was like a Tomby thing.
It kind of freaked us out. Uh, so our at
journey didn't go really well. And again they add in
this whole COVID of like other vampires.
Speaker 3: He's like the last one in Romania. And there's a
moment where she's like, yes, we'll go to the New
World and we'll we'll have a great time, and then
she throws herself on the fire. And it's the whole
thing that Anne Rice talks about of like not everybody's
cut out for immortality, Yeah, because you have to be
psychologically strong for these types of like downtimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It is weird they didn't search America more. I know
they only ever found one other vampire and they ended up.
Speaker 3: Being racist murder somebody, so maybe they were on the run.
Speaker 2: America is pretty big. It was early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: But I get Claudia is like, well I found one
vampire any rate me?
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, we forgot about Bruce because he does
come back. Yes, Bruce she meets when she runs away
and she goes to college and she meets up at
Bruce and he's very charming and nice. And then he
gets her alone and you know dates.
Speaker 1: And then and then she tries to leave again on
that train, but the stack comes in threat.
Speaker 3: That was such a great scene.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, which is.
Speaker 1: A totally real event that happened. That's why I love
saying I can't wait till about season three, like oh,
by the way, no, that should happen.
Speaker 2: You will eventually find out a lot of what we're
talking about or just characters, lye.
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll get to it. And when you talk
about the vampire the staff, but you want to talk
about payoff, like you stick it out and you pay attention,
there's a lot of payoff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he eventually makes it to France, where he
meets armand.
Speaker 3: Is a very vampires.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Theater of the Vampires. He runs the theater.
Speaker 1: He had a covid uh many many years ago, but
he got bored with them and the rules that he made,
but he was too much of a coward to get
rid of them, so he have lstat kill them basically.
But yeah, you find out that he dated Lstte many
many years ago, and Louie's just like Listt's that guy
never heard of that guy before sure didn't kill him,
and we see the flashback between Armand and the statuh
lstat coming in breaking up.
Speaker 2: The Covid eventually joined the Theater of the Vampires. Of course,
Louis gets it on with Armand.
Speaker 1: Course, Uh, what is it about being vampires in this
show that makes them all gay because it wasn't like
that in the book.
Speaker 2: Really well, again, they didn't have sex in the.
Speaker 3: Book, I know, but I think the idea of vampires
being sexually fluid has been around for a really really
long time because if it's just.
Speaker 2: Specifically in this show, they really lead into the gay thing,
like other than the Stad he does hook up with
like girls and stuff.
Speaker 3: Really, it's because we see so much of Louis, and
I think Louis is just gay, so we really only
see his relationships for all he.
Speaker 2: Is no way, Oh I'm sorry, hold on, Yeah, Louis
is gay. He's telling the story of the first time
he had sex with Listad and it's like he killed
a girl and they started flying and all that stuff,
and then it cuts in telling the story. He's like,
now you might be shocked to find out that I'm gay,
and I'm like that was the least shocking part of
what was.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 2: It should have been like, you guys can fly? How fast?
Speaker 1: How high do you wear a suit with the wind resistance?
And Louie's just like, yeah, then we were flying. Can
you believe I'm gay? And I'm like, I don't care
what else can The other.
Speaker 3: Thing is when it were we forgot to mention this
in the first season when Lestatt reveals that he can fly,
and Daniel's like, you lived with him for seventeen years
and he never mentioned that he could fly, Like, Lestat's
a very good liar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also does he remember the whole not so
much in this show, but his whole thing is just like, well, Louis,
you can leave me, but I just know more about
vampire stuff that I haven't told you, yeah yet ready,
So he doesn't really show off a lot of vampire
shit that he can do because he doesn't want people
to know what he can do.
Speaker 3: And we find out in the second season that he
didn't know that much until Armand taught him how to
freeze people. Telekinesis flying like he learned all that from Armand.
Speaker 1: Because Lestat told him, And there was a one point
and see where they sit him down, they force him
to tell everything, and his creator, Magnus, just made him
hung out for a few days and then said good
luck being a vampire and killed himself.
Speaker 3: But wait, before that, he brought him to a chamber
that was full of dead people that looked just like him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like Magnus had a weird infatuation with.
Speaker 3: The statue Bonds I guess, yeah, like twenty year old Bonds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, they joined the Theater of the Vampires.
Claudia has a show that she does. She eventually gets
tired of it. This is where they finally really start
to hammer in, Like she's pissed that she's stuck in
her age.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Antilizer, they like make her dress is like
a little girl every day all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, damn it. What's this vampire's name again?
Speaker 3: Santiago?
Speaker 2: Yes, Santiago. I love this actor, by the way.
Speaker 3: Very good.
Speaker 1: He's in a lot of stuff. Really underrated, an underrated show,
but even underrated performance the Exorcist TV show.
Speaker 2: Did you ever watch that?
Speaker 3: I did not?
Speaker 1: Okay, I've talked about it for a while. That's one
of the reasons I actually hate it. The last Exorcist
movie because it made that show not in continuity.
Speaker 2: The Exorcist TV show okay is a legit follow up
to The Exorcists and were The first season is self
contained enough that you could just stop watching it. There
the two priests, including him. He's one of the priests.
Speaker 1: They do have another adventure in season two, but season
one is so self contained.
Speaker 2: It's like kind of one and done.
Speaker 1: The Extras TV show is incredible, and he's one of
the priests in it, and he is great in it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: To the Extra TV show, it's it's just so well done.
Speaker 1: You actually get to see and go back and see,
like the manipulation of Captain Howdy on Reagan.
Speaker 3: It's it's really really okay.
Speaker 1: So I really like this actor and he's great as
Santiago in this. So they're basically the Theater of the
Vampires are kind of fed up with Louis and whatnot.
They don't really trust him. Uh So a bunch of
shenanigans happened.
Speaker 3: Claudia wrote everything in her diaries.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, oh that's the thing.
Speaker 1: In the future, they're going through Claudia's diaries and Daniel's
realizing that things are being cut out, and he's not
sure what's going on there. There's pictures that they're taking,
and for some reason, some other photographer's pictures are getting
in there, so they're realizing something's being fucked with the archive,
and even Louie's like, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 3: Ye in this picture behind his chair is all of
her diaries as evidence.
Speaker 1: Yes, because they're on trial for a couple of things.
But one Claudia eventually meets a nice redhead lady who
everyone hates because she's a Nazi sympathizer.
Speaker 2: But really there was just.
Speaker 1: A young Natz like German soldier who was scared and
she like hooked up with him during occupation and everyone
decided that was Nazi sympathizing. But basically she like gets
Louis to turn her because harmand has still never turned anyone.
That's like a weird thing. Mon has never turned another vampire. Yeah,
but yeah, so this lady's a vampire for like two days.
And then they get set on trial for the attempt
at murder ofless That and the journals because you're not supposed.
Speaker 3: To tell him the murder of his lover, the singer
what was her name?
Speaker 2: Oh god, I totally forgot her name. Yes, yes, yes,
so yeah.
Speaker 1: During the trial, they try to like figure out everyone's
fate and uh, it's real tense and Armand's beautiful arman
who loves Louis so much is using all his psychic
energy to make sure they spare Louis, and he does it. Unfortunately,
Claudia gets lit on fire in front of him.
Speaker 3: Claudia Metaline get burned in the sun. Louis is given
he's like locked in a coffin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they put him in a coffin, throw in warea
h but I think Armand breaks him out.
Speaker 3: Armand breaks him out, Yeah, and armand so uh. Sam
was the vampire that like wrote the play, and Santiago
did everything, and everything was scripted except for Claudia and Louis.
But anytime they tried to say anything, the other vampires
used their mind powers to like shut them up. Lestat
shows up, tells his whole version of the thing, and
then Claudia and Madeline die in the sun. Santiago lets
Louis out, and then Louis, as we know, famously burns
the theater down.
Speaker 2: Yes, he burns the down.
Speaker 1: Then he hunts downside he like blows people up as
you love this whole moment of him choosing Santiago throughout
the catacombs and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But yeah, and at this point they corner listad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in like a mausoleum somewhere or two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is where we get a little hint
of things to come. Last has like fire. He has
the fire gift. Is a fire gift, And they're like,
how do you do that? He's like, well, I got
the blood of Magnus. And then because we learned Armand
was changed by Marius, who I think was Magnus's fledgling.
Speaker 3: Well you know, soo he says, I have the blood
of Akasha.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: He goes, I have the blood of Magnus, and then
I think our Mond's like I kind of do too,
and then he went up.
Speaker 2: So he's like, I have the blood of a.
Speaker 1: Kasha and he just goes, who the fuck is that?
Speaker 2: I don't know who you're talking about?
Speaker 3: And so louis like, instead of murdering you, this is
your real death. And he kisses Armand and he says,
I love him. I'm leaving with him. I'll never speak
to you. Again. Don't call me, don't text me, don't
facebook me. I'm never this is never happening again. I book,
I'll hate you for the rest of time. And then
he walks away.
Speaker 1: Mike drop, that's a that's a great way to start
a relationship to spide an X. Just hooking up with
someone to spite an X, that's a great way a relationship.
Speaker 3: Wait wait till we reveal how Armand started the relationship.
Speaker 1: But yeah, in the future, Dan is becoming more suspicious
of Armand, and he's starting to have these flashbacks of
the night in New Orleans, I think where he.
Speaker 3: Was being so remember he met up with the Talamasca.
Speaker 2: I was gonna get to that go.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we get to see all these flashbacks that
Armand had something to do with Louis attacking him the
night they first try to do it, and then he
needs Raglan James, who, if they do the story, is
the body thief, the guy who can go into other
people's bodies, but he works for the Talamascas. This is
where the Talamasca comes in and they give him a
bunch of information and stuff. They're like, hey, this will
really fuck up everything here. Ask him about Hey, here's
some pictures of you from the seventies and everything.
Speaker 3: Well, and while they're having that final interview, they're like
instant messaging each other. Yeah, so he pretends he's typing
Louie's notes, but he's actually messaging with the Telemasca and
they're like, well, ask him about this and ask him
about this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But then he exposes pretty much everything we learned
that Armand was in.
Speaker 2: On the trial. He helped plan and stage everything.
Speaker 3: They had the script with his notes in the corner.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: He was behind everything yep.
Speaker 1: And then the other guy who organized it got out.
He ends up being like a DJ or something he
can pact. But Louis learns that Armand is basically responsible
for Claudia dying and they.
Speaker 3: Was actually Lestat that saved Louis, Not yes, lest.
Speaker 1: That was the what Louis like. Ar Mom was just
kind of using Louis and everything. But Lastad is the
one who saved him. Uh yeah, and they get into
a huge fight him and.
Speaker 3: Because Armand lived on that lie for seventy seven years.
Speaker 1: Also, I did like the flashback of the seventies where
he so, yeah, they do the what we do the shadows.
Speaker 2: They drank drug blood and now it's a wizard. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we learned when Louis attacked Dan in the seventies
and drank all his blood because he was like I
he like armand came in flipping out, and Armand can
be in the sunlight because he's older, so he like
comes in during the day. He like saves Louis from
killing himself. Yeah, but he's just like, well, what are
you doing?
Speaker 2: Louis just like I just hate you and I'm bored
of you and you're never being a stat They have
to psychically call to Listat to calm him down and everything.
But yeah, Louis just.
Speaker 1: Like armand you better not touch Danloy or I will
kill you, you dumb asshole. And then Damloy publishes the
book Interview with the Vampire Here. Yes, and we learned
that Armand out of anger, has turned well or maybe
has turned him into a vampire.
Speaker 2: So now he's a vampire author.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Louis stormed out and left armand pissed off
and a human in the loft and like.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And then so now the whole world knows about vampires
or they will uh. And then we get a little
reconciliation between Lestatt and Louis in New Orleans. Uh, Lestat
has some new fledgling who's just an asshole, who will
then team who will then meet up with a weird
spirit thing and a different show. But he's planning his
musical comeback because the Stat of course, is a musician,
and he thinks it will take fifty years. He's watching
YouTube videos and he has a fake keyboard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a plank of wood with like, yeah,
the bars. But this scene should win all the awards.
I mean, this scene was incredible. And he even says,
like he calls out the date. He's like, on so
and so date in nineteen seventy seven, did you try
and kill yourself? So, like he was connected even at
that moment when he was calling out to Lstat, and
like he knew that Louis was so despondent that he
was thinking about killing himself.
Speaker 1: And the actually the whole season when he thinks Lestat
might be dead, he's like secretly seeing the Stat like
a like a hallucination.
Speaker 2: He's like still talking to them and everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful scene.
Speaker 2: Beautiful scene.
Speaker 1: And also at the end, the vampires are psychically talking
about how pissed they are about the book, and they're
like blah blah blah blah blah. And then yeah, then
Louis just like I'll fucking fight all of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in his apartment, He's like, come and get me,
Come get me.
Speaker 1: And I wish there was one vampire, like, aren't you
the guy who cries a lot? He's like a shut up, No,
that's a that's a different guy.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's a big announcement at San
Diego Comic Con that it will now be called The
Vampire lastat and so everybody knew what was going to
come next.
Speaker 1: Yes, but we're gonna take a break there because we
got to talk about a different show.
Speaker 3: That came out, because now we shift over.
Speaker 1: Yes, now we have Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, a book
I did not read, starring Oh wait, by the way,
by the way, do you think AMC plus has enough
fucking witch shows? They have a Discovery of Witches, the
Mayfair Witches Sanctuary, a Witch's Tail, and now he got
another Bobba Yaga show called Yaga the witch Hunt, which
I watched the trailer. They mentioned the Chicken House. They
don't show the Chicken House. You gotta show the Chicken House.
Speaker 3: You and I somehow always talk about Bobbyaga. I don't
know how this comes up every time we're together, but there.
Speaker 2: You go, the Bobby Yaga. You need.
Speaker 1: Look that twenty nineteen hell Boy movie was garbage, but
the Bobby Yaga was in it and she had a
chicken house, So.
Speaker 2: Points for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always get annoyed in the John Wick movies when
they refer to him as the Bobby Yaga.
Speaker 2: I'm like, he doesn't have a chicken house. This doesn't
make sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they do this new show starring Alexandra de
Dario Witch Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she doesn't look like a witch in these pictures.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: For years everyone made fun of Texas Chainsaw three D.
Have you ever seen that one, Lena?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, oh yes, that's.
Speaker 1: The one that's supposed to be a direct sequel to
the first one. But they also wanted it in modern times.
So the baby in the beginning ends up being her,
And that was like twenty thirteen, and people were joking,
They're like, she should be like thirty eight at this point.
This age doesn't make sense. This is clearly a twenty
something year old. Cut to when they start making this show.
She's in her late thirties.
Speaker 2: She looks exactly the fucking scene now, and I'm like, shit,
I guess we owe that movie's apology. And Lena, this
might shock you.
Speaker 1: She's now an elderly woman in her forties and she
still looks good.
Speaker 2: Can you believe that?
Speaker 3: Did you say elderly woman?
Speaker 2: What? No, you're hearing things. Uh? Hold on, how do
you do the vampire? How do you do the vampire
thing to change?
Speaker 3: You can't do it. No one's giving you that gift.
Speaker 2: How old is she she's forty? Is she? Yes?
Speaker 3: Wow, she looks phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy for someone in their twilight years. Anyway,
I told you there'd being find a bunch of jokes tonight.
Speaker 1: The story here, it's about a girl named Rowan who
has an adopted mom who then dies, and she's having
this problem where she's uh breaking everyone's brain.
Speaker 2: They were literally in the first episode there are three
scenes where she accidentally just gives people brain aneurysms. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's like this world renowned surgeon, but she can
cause people to have like uh, embali or yeah, like aneurysms.
Speaker 2: Can you recovered from that? Does she permanently kill those
guys by the.
Speaker 3: Way, Oh yeah, probably in the brain?
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so she's like, I don't understand why I'm blowing
up people's brains. That's not a thing that I should
be able to do. We learned that her mother, her
real mother, is a godless soulas Witch from Hell, played
by Special Agent Whale Song from The X Files. Okay,
Annabeth Gish remember see an I just think of her
in the X Files and I'm like, God, I hate it.
Speaker 2: Rays. Did you ever watch X Files?
Speaker 3: Yes? I actually remember her from Missed Pizza, which was Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's also that too, And obviously we all know her
from Steel starring Shaquille O'Neal. That's probably her most famous.
Speaker 3: Also Vampire Crossover. She was in Midnight.
Speaker 2: Mass right, right, But yeah, I always think of her
as Agent Rays in X Files.
Speaker 1: The new X File shows were bad, but the one
thing that was funny is that they knew no one
liked this character, so they made her a bad guy.
Speaker 2: Between the hiatus, she somehow became a bad guy. Like
great fucker.
Speaker 1: Anyway, She's a demon witch from Hell and from this
family that gets their power from a spirit.
Speaker 2: Guy called Lasher.
Speaker 1: So Rowan finds out that she's part of this family,
and as soon as she meets her mom, her mom
gets decapitated. Yeah, so she goes to the funeral. She
meets all the Mayfairs, and she finds out that she's
like gonna inherit all of the shit her mom was
supposed to inherit it, but she had crazy brain for
thirty something years. So she meets her family, including her
uncle Portland played by Harry Hamlin from Clash of the Titan.
Speaker 3: He was so good in this show, by the way,
Harry Hamlin.
Speaker 1: He is so good yeah that the show ends up
spoiler spoiler he's actually Rowan's dad. The show reveals that
he's a rapist, but the character's so good that they
have to walk it back the next season, be like
he was manipulated and influenced by someone else. It's like,
oh shit, the most likable character we made a racist rapist.
Speaker 2: We gotta go back, we gotta change this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh but yeah by Harry Hamlin from Clash of the Titans.
And there's a really funny joke at the end of
the season, say, we learn more about Lasher, who saved
one of their ancestors who is accused of being a
wish wish witch, and he has given their family powers
and then he like seduces them.
Speaker 2: Can you explain what the fuck's going on? In confused?
Speaker 3: Take it back a little bit. So what it is is,
way back in Scotland three hundred years ago, a young
woman who was like homeopathic, you know, she was just
a village woman who healed people, is accused of being
a witch. And while she is about to be burned,
she calls out to Lasher because she was taught by
the other girls, if you're ever in trouble, is what
you need to do. So she calls out, she calls
forth Lasher. He catches to her, and Lasher's presence with
this girl takes her born powers and makes them extreme powers.
And the way it works is every generation of Mayfair
has a chosen female descendant that Lasher will connect with
and connect with and connect with until the thirteenth Witch
and the thirteenth Witch. The thirteenth Witch is foretold to
be the greatest witch in the entire line. And so
what happens is when Deirdre becomes pregnant. She is the
chosen one of her generation and the aunts know everybody
in the family knows about Lasher. They know about the
chosen girl everything. So Deirdre's aunt like basically drugs her
and puts her in a medically induced coma for thirty years,
takes the baby, makes one of the distant cousins adopt
the baby and go to California and says, the deal
is is you never let her come back here. You
never tell her about her family. She's trying to break
the chain because Rowan is the thirteenth Witch. But as
things always work out, she ends up coming to New
Orleans finding her family and now because Deirdra dies, now
Lasher is attached to Rowan.
Speaker 2: Yes, And during all of this.
Speaker 1: She meets a guy named Cyprian who has a magical
power where he can touch things and see what happened
in the past. And also he works for the Talamasca.
And I bet you have a fun fact because I
had to read up on this character because I went,
Cyprian's a dumb name.
Speaker 2: Where do they get this from?
Speaker 3: I'm so hit. I'm very unhappy with this decision, and
I think They did it because they wanted to ram
the Talamasca show into the universe somehow. Yeah. In the
book Rowan Rescue, he's a man who's drowning named Michael,
and because he's like near death and brought back, he
now comes back with the power to touch something and
like see everything. They fall in love and throughout the
book as she's trying to figure everything out, he is
with her through the whole thing. And so they just
basically erased Michael completely, shoved in Cyprian and then shoved
in the Tallamasca that way because in the book it
is her story, the backstory of the Mayfair, and then
we also get to read the Tellamasca's files on the witches.
But instead of doing that, they remade Matthew into Cyprian
and then just like shoved Cyprian and the Talamasca into
this story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to see her, Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, he's combined Michael Curry what you said, And
he's also combined with the character called Aaron Lightner, a
love English scholar and high rank it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, from the Tallamasca.
Speaker 3: Okay, Karon is like with the Telemascar and he shows
up at Ellie which is the adoptive mother who was
Deirdre's cousin, chose at Ellie's funeral and then shows up
again at Deirdre's funeral, and that's why Rowan's like, who
is this older British guy and how is he connected
to the family. So yeah, and so not to ruin anything,
but Michael is the one that gets Rowan pregnant at
the end of the book so that she can give
birth to Lasher.
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, again they merge the characters. I mean,
I get it. You said it's a really long book.
I understand merging characters. Yeah, sometimes you have to do that.
You have to just put two.
Speaker 3: Characters, get it. I understand why they did what they did.
But for me, Michael was such a good character that
I was sad to see him lost. Yeah, but as
we talked about, I'm an author, I get it. If
you want to adapt books for screen, sometimes you just
have to make these decisions. Nothing wrong with I think
he's a great actor, and I loved what they did
with the character. I just was like, it just it
took me a while to grieve the loss of that
character and then get into this.
Speaker 2: So they're.
Speaker 1: Romance, which is actually just like a fling. It's just
really this.
Speaker 3: Is my problem too, is like I think it to
go back to the vampire list at and interview with
the vampire. I think Jacob and Sam have such good chemistry,
so to then transition to this where I felt like
their chemistry just wasn't there. It was just kind of
lackluster by comparison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're right works with the Tallamasca, so this
is where they really started.
Speaker 2: Hammering that stuff in.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so she's constantly dealing with all the witches.
We find out there's a group of brave heroes who
want to get.
Speaker 2: Rid of the witches.
Speaker 1: And I thought I thought it was weird they waited
so long to introduce the good guys in the show,
the whole show.
Speaker 3: Like the hillbilly gang that kidnaps though, you.
Speaker 1: Mean the brave patriots who love Jesus. I'll watching the
show and I'm just like, these evil ladies are getting
away with it.
Speaker 2: When are the heroes coming.
Speaker 3: Like locker up and warehouse and set her on fire.
Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, uh, save the world is what I
call Lida. I I often say, I always.
Speaker 1: Hear stories of like Witchfinder generals as these men who
led witch burnings. And I always say to myself, born
in the wrong century.
Speaker 2: I would have been a hero. Statues would be made
of me.
Speaker 3: Lea, you would have Witchfinder General, that's your Halloween costume.
Speaker 2: I would have been great. I would have been a
great witch finder.
Speaker 3: When you go to Salem dressed like a witchfinder general
and see how that goes, to walk around all the
golf girls in Salem, Yeah, see how that goes.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my true colleague. If I could just
time travel, where are you time traveling to to the
witch trials? I want to help out. I don't think
we got enough with them. To be honest.
Speaker 3: I know what I'm getting you for your birthday. I'm
gonna get you that Malliu Smarakaram, the witch Hammer. It
was like the How to Find and Kill a Witch manual.
Speaker 1: Look, you know, you look up all the witch trials.
It turns out there wasn't as many as they claimed.
There was, like they existed.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't as rampant.
Speaker 1: And when I found that out, I was like, if
I was there, lady, did you just look at me?
Speaker 2: Weird? You're a witch?
Speaker 3: Hey, lady, did your apple fall in my yard.
Speaker 2: Witch, did you just get mad of me for something
I did in the dream? You're a witch? Anyway. She
ends up being stuck in like a throw at some
point with last.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he learns a lot of stuff that courtland with
her father. Uh, and you're right because she had sex
with Cyprien.
Speaker 2: She didn't wrap it up apparently. Yes, she's just rawed
dog in on the first date.
Speaker 3: I thought that that happens is you get pregnant with
a baby that will turn out to be a demon
come to life.
Speaker 2: By the way, I love that lash Year just rewrites
the DNA, And.
Speaker 1: I'm like, because Cyprians, like, Cyprian's like, that's our baby.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's the worst.
Speaker 3: Magical baby, magical baby. Cyprian takes it really well too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he like tries over and then she strikes
shows she is now even more powerful, and now that
she's had sex with Lasher and given birth also to Lasher.
Speaker 3: So that's the other thing, is like, part of this
prophecy is that the mother of Lasher will be the
most powerful of the witches. But the problem is that
her power is tied to Lasher's proximity. Yes, so then
it's yeah.
Speaker 2: And uh, we learn a lot of stuff to uh Lasher.
Speaker 1: Uh, he's very evil in this season. He's very evil,
and he's killing people left and right. He's making people
snap their own necks off, and shit, it's pretty fucking nettle.
Actually he's played by Uh. He was the weird face guy.
Speaker 2: In Urwalk Empire, Jack Houston.
Speaker 1: Yes, but recently he was the Sandman in Spider Noir.
Speaker 2: He was the.
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirties version of the Spider Man character Sandman. So
I don't know, I've never really watched this guy in anything,
and he showed up in two shows I watch recently.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say too. When he showed up, that
was not what I ever pictured Lasher looking like.
Speaker 1: I mean, why I had to look up what a
fucking Taltos is. So what does he look like in
that first book?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember specifically, but I always pictured him
as being like, very lean, young, not necessarily human, looking
like not somebody like I feel like Jack Houston. No offense,
but I feel like I would just walk past him
on a street and be like, hey, what's up. But
Lasher was supposed to be, like, I think, inhumanly beautiful,
and I don't know, he just wasn't I expected more
of like, I don't know, I gave him a chance.
I'm not too We can talk about it in the
second season. But I just am not impressed with the
way he was played. I don't think he comes across
as like a powerful interdimensional being.
Speaker 2: I don't really get what he's like. So he just
like shows up and he's just like, we're having ghost
sex maybe, And yeah, he can give you gifts.
Speaker 3: For natural pregnancy. It takes like a week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did I put it in there? Okay, my favorite thing.
So he apparently gifted Courtland eternal life. Yes, uh, but
also he ages that kind of sucks. You gotta be
very specific. Can I have eternal life?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do I still age? Oh yeah, I would never mind.
Speaker 3: Cortland could turned into a statue at one point.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, which is very funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he killed Medusa, who turns people into statues.
Speaker 2: So it's like a very funny inside joke, like, oh,
Percyus finally got turned into a statue with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know a lot of friends really like that.
And when do we meet his father?
Speaker 2: Is that the second that season two?
Speaker 1: So season one as someone who reads the book, I
assume season one does the first book or.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, oh no. The Mayfair Witches is huge,
so I will say so. I guess, yeah, maybe because
they do. Lasher does like get born into the world
at the end of.
Speaker 2: The book, but a lot of book. How do you
feel about this?
Speaker 3: I felt underwhelmed, So I did like Alexandria de Dario
as Rowan. I thought she did a fabulous job. I
thought Harry Hamlin did a great job. And I don't
remember her name. Beth Grant, who plays Carlata Mayfair, the
aunt that's like comes across very mean, but it's just
trying to stop this curse from continuing. Yes, I thought
she did a great job.
Speaker 2: I was very DARKO who goes out your commitment sparkle motion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was very underwhelmed by Cyprian and I'm
very overwhelmed by Lasher.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And there's that young girl Tessa who's like her cousin
or something who ends up like dying and I just
kind of felt nothing there.
Speaker 2: Uh. This show also has a lot of characters.
Speaker 3: I felt very connected to the people in interview, Like
I felt like I was connected to them as I
was continuing through with their story. I didn't connect to
anybody in this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right, I like I like her obviously.
I like Alexander Daria, which who I realized, who I
realized is single now?
Speaker 2: Is she got the worst this year?
Speaker 3: Maybe she's watching right now.
Speaker 1: I hope that, God, she is. I hope she didn't
hear me make that elderly joke earlier.
Speaker 3: Hit me up and I'll tell you. I'll talk to
you about Tony and then if you decide you want
to talk to him, I'll give you his contact ed.
Speaker 1: Hey, uh, I didn't say Texas Chain Saw three D
was the worst Texas Chain Salt simply because you were
too hot in it.
Speaker 2: That was the one thing that's I say.
Speaker 3: What my favorite role is of hers? Ever, it is
a guilty pleasure of mine. I've watched it probably thirty times,
an unhealthy amount of time.
Speaker 2: Baywatch, I oh, okay, okay, you lost me there the
bay Watch movie.
Speaker 1: I wanted Baywatch to be good. I was like, as
someone who as someone who's been watching an unhealthy amount
of Baywatch the last year. I'm just I've watched the
same episodes like fifteen.
Speaker 3: Jaywatch fan. But I loved the movie. I thought it
was so fun and I'll just turn it on like
and have in the background.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I love looking at her in the movie obviously, But no,
I was like, oh, they're doing the twenty one Jump
Street reboot treatment, but with Baywatch. And I didn't watch
twenty one Jump Street the show, but I enjoyed the movie.
I'm like, but this would be better because I grew
up watching Baywatch, I'll like this.
Speaker 2: I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was I've said, as someone who again watches
Baywatch all the time, that show was less funny than
a regular serious.
Speaker 2: Episode of Baywatch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of them, some of them are really fucking stupid.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I thought that she did a fabulous job.
And she had to because she is the center of
the show. But like you said, there's so much anti
Larry Cat that.
Speaker 1: You's and I get it. It's a big book, and
I guess there are a lot of things. They honestly
should have merged more characters, because there's just too much
that we didn't even mention Jojo.
Speaker 2: We didn't mention.
Speaker 3: That's the point is if you read the book, she
shows up, there's like two hundred people at the after
funeral or whatever you call that, and she's like, oh
my god, they're all Mayfairs. It's a massive family. I
just and no Jojo Jojo is is uh, what's his name?
Speaker 2: Courland Courtland daughter.
Speaker 3: Daughter, and I think it happens in the second season,
but Courtland's daughter is trans and the.
Speaker 2: First season, you know, in the first season they mentioned he.
Speaker 3: Says at one point, She's like, the only reason you
were so supportive of me is because you knew what
it meant to have a daughter in this family. So
it was never about me. It was always about power.
And so you know, I thought that was a very
powerful statement and it really shows a lot about Courtland
and then of course his father when we meet his father. Yeah,
so they're a big, big part of the book, but
a big part of our book two was like all
these you get to learn the stories of all the
previous Chosen witches and you don't get to see that
in miss.
Speaker 1: And they I mean they do flashbacks to like the
original one in Scotland, Like that's it basically. But yeah,
I was just a lot of the show is just confusing,
Like I really understand what lasher was doing or what
his powers were.
Speaker 2: He just kept kind of showing up and he would
just stare.
Speaker 3: He gives them more power in the hopes that when
the Thirteenth Witch comes, he gets to be born as human,
which is what happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, like he is a bad guy, but
we never actually really see him do the bad things.
Speaker 3: It's always like, yeah, I know, I know, a huge force.
Speaker 2: And again, the Cyprian relations it's just so rushed. It's
like we're.
Speaker 1: Friends and lovers maybe, and I kind of forget at
the end. It looks like she kind of forgot Sippery
and even existed because and they're working in a lot
of the Tellamasca stuff. Uh, because I think he realizes
his mind has been white a couple of times.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's the girl that can wipe mind. Yeah,
and then there's like a sister, but then we never
see her again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she gets like pregnant and they kind of use
her just to find information and then that's it.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: It's jumbling a lot. But but Alexandra Jadaria is pretty.
Speaker 3: She's beautiful. She's beautiful.
Speaker 1: That stupid Hershey chocolate movie they're making with her. You
know what really is actually really fun. Joe Dante's Burying
the X. That's a fun one.
Speaker 3: Oh, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: She's in I mean, it's not great.
Speaker 1: It's not the best show Dante movie obviously, but one,
she's fucking gorgeous in it. But it's also just a
fun zombie romantic comedy. But yeah, you know what, before
we go into season two and then the last two shows,
let's read some super chats Lena.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Dud to bides member for twenty eight months,
saying almost two and a half years at heck the movies?
Speaker 3: All right, happy two and a half year anniversary.
Speaker 1: Uh, Douda bides for five dollars And doesn't Tony look
like Laslo Cravensworth from what we do? That's not the
first time I've gotten that.
Speaker 3: That's a compliment. Let me tell you the amount of
times that I've been at when I work as a
bartender and people say what's her name? And I say,
Jackie Daytona.
Speaker 2: Jackie Toona Cuban botching bartender. I I need to finish
that show. Is that show done? Now? Yeah? It's what
we do in the Shadow? Okay, I gotta watch like
the last two seasons. I love that show.
Speaker 3: You heard that they're going to do a sequel to
the movie.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, you know what. A few years ago I
would have loved that.
Speaker 1: But I saw Taika with TV's uh four four, and
I'm just like, well, I hope, I hope he kind
of reins it in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: They're all involved. It's not just Taka, so let's hope.
But it's about the were wolves. It's gonna be about
the wear Wolf.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, he's been They said they were going to
do that for years, the weird Wolves.
Speaker 2: Ye uh.
Speaker 1: And then there was that other show, the Wellington Paranormal,
that was just it was a spin off show about
the Cops.
Speaker 2: I always wanted to cops.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, all right.
Speaker 1: I think when that show is airing, me and Tricia
took a picture and I think my hair was long
and she has dark hair, and I was like, you
look like lass Low and Najia. I'm like, that's actually
a pretty fucking good comparison there, Tony.
Speaker 3: We should do that at Monster Mainia. I'll be I'll
be Naujia and you we're doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I'm just specifically gonna be the Jackie Taytono version.
Speaker 3: Let's do it and I'll be and I'll be. Uh,
but then we have to do the songs, those terribles,
open mind.
Speaker 1: I got to rewatch that whole show bat Anyway fire

last Mailbag video.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: He sent me another copy of the Craft Legacy and
a poster of the Craft Legacy, and he put it
in a WrestleMania one to fourteen VHS box set.
Speaker 2: But when you open it, he has.
Speaker 1: Taken out most of the WrestleMania tapes and he put
in other stuff, including including and I didn't know this
until after the video. There was a jar of red
dirt and it is screen used red dirt from the
Kraft legs.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

never even heard of it.
Speaker 3: By the way, it was shot here in Pittsburgh. And
I just went on the Gateway Clipper last week and
as we were going down the river, I pointed out
the boat house from that movie.
Speaker 1: I never it's weird. Look, I'm not saying I've seen
all of Bruce Willis's movies. It's weird that there was
a nineties one that I straight up never even.
Speaker 3: Heard shot here in Pittsburgh, and he like he was
a Pittsburgh River cop, like patrolling the river. And yeah,
it's a good one.
Speaker 2: That sounds exciting. Yeah, how many? How many boats explode
in the Pittsburgh.

I'm finished Riverdale and VHS, I'm sure I'll have time

free time now that we've watched all of these shows?
Speaker 2: Well, I told you I'm watching Riverdale.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what else I have to do?
Speaker 3: Soon?
Speaker 2: I have to watch every single including the animated.
Speaker 1: Starship Troopers movie. I know what you're thinking. They made
sequels to Starship Troopers. Yes, to live action and too
animated one.
Speaker 3: Actually I've only ever seen the first one.
Speaker 1: I only I only ever made it to two and
I went that was rough. And then I saw the
commercial from three, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, nope.
Speaker 1: And I apparently the animated ones are okay, but I
haven't watched them for your Oh, and I also I
also have to finally read Starship Troopers, which I actually
never read. Have fun with that fire for ten dollars, Lena,
you are more famous than Tony. Get hyped for Girls Month.
It's gonna be a great time. Did you know Tony
tried to ban me on here?
Speaker 2: Because I love the ladies on here more, I never
actually tried to ban you. And also I doubt Girls
Month will happen.
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm telling you, I'm going to spend the
next eleven months planning and getting ready for August of
twenty twenty seven. We're having a Girl's Month on my channel.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you so, Kayleie's trying to do one this year.
She drops the ball, you will do it next year.
Speaker 3: Then it's gonna happen. I'm gonna do it from New Orleans.
I'm gonna bring all the girls down. We're gonna have
fun without you guys.
Speaker 1: What the fuck? They're like, Wait, you pay for travel?
Tony doesn't do that, and then I'll definitely that'll be
boys forever.
Speaker 3: The I'll pay for the flights. They can hang out
my cool New Orleans apartment. I'll take them for Bennet's.
Speaker 2: If any of the girls are listening, uh, Lina's lying.
Speaker 1: Uh due divides for five dollars, doesn't The interviewer, Daniel
Lloy look similarly to Anthony Bourdain.
Speaker 3: He does yeah, he does, he does, he does. Yes.
Speaker 1: Also, someone in the porchat to say, is he doing
start I'm gonna do all the Starship Troopers if you
want me to talk about the original, which I will include,
But I've done that on rental reviews years ago.
Speaker 2: It's one of those. There are a lot.
Speaker 1: There were a few rental reviews things where I don't
want to read you because I think I totally nailed it.
But if I'm going to go through the whole series,
I might as well revisit it at some point.
Speaker 2: I want. That's actually one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: I want to read this because I want to revisit
it as someone who finally read the book, because I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many books I want to read, But I
got to finish writing my book like it should have
been out at this point.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I I don't know if I could talk
about I don't think I could talk about the thing
that I wrote.
Speaker 1: But I wrote a thing. At some point I'll be
able to talk about it. I'm gonna ru said you
were gonna read it on your lunch break the other day,
and you did it.
Speaker 3: Listen, dude, I was getting ready for this. I took
this very seriously.
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Uh, but yeah, get the Oh wait,
hold on, let's let's check Twitch. Did we get anything
on Twitch? Uh? We gotta follow on Twitch, but that's it.
Speaker 1: We gotta check Rumble, sorry, Lena with who knows how
many hundreds of people on Rumble are watching right now
leaving comments that I'm ignoring.
Speaker 2: I I feel so bad.
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, what it's not even it's not even
playing the goddamn video. Uh okay, I have it here,
Lena looking at the Rumble chat and no one okay, okay,
all right, back to this May Fair Witches season two,
which I forgot to include the poster that goes the
Witches Back.
Speaker 2: That's a good tagline. It's good tagline, is it?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 1: Craft Legacy probably would have gotten more people in the
seats if it didn't come out during COVID and if
the tagline was the Witches are back. Okay, so Rowan,
it's been a couple days or weeks. Rowan has learned
to use her demonic satanic hell powers that she should
go to Hell for. She's getting stronger, but at the
same time, Lasher is growing every single day, every day yep.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of.
Speaker 1: Weird because that's like a man she slept with, but
now he's a little boy. It's very confusing, and she's
like trying to like keep him come while also trying
to learn all her powers. Tessa's sister is pissed that
Tessa died kind of blames Rowan for it, and also
she has the power to read minds, but she has
trouble turning it off, so she like drowns out everything
with headphones.
Speaker 2: Lasher eventually grows up to be a.
Speaker 1: And he's very confused about his place in the world,
and he starts hooking up with ladies, including huge boomed
Thora Birch.
Speaker 3: You texted me, You're like, I waited all these times.
I waited all this time, and that's that I got
to see.
Speaker 2: Oh, Like I didn't realize.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Thora Birch is has heavy knockers, and
I wasn't expected to see them. I wasn't expected to
see her, and I wasn't expecting to see those bad
boys like Jesus Christ. But he has a problem. Every
time he sleeps with someone, they die horribly. Yeah, and
he feels guilty about it. And that's when we realize
this guy is not the villain we knew last year.
Something is up because he's just like, I don't like killing.
I feel bad I'm killing all these ladies that I'm
compelled to sleep with.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, rowan Uh sends his blood, the lasher blood to
her ex boyfriend, who's also a doctor, who broke they
broke up.
Speaker 2: He was real shitty.
Speaker 1: He applied for a job that he knew he would
have to move for and then he waited months to
tell her until he got the job. Like that's real shitty, dude,
so they start to kind of rekindle their romance. Uh,
Lasher meets that stupid vampire from the end of Interview
with the Vampire season, Yeah, yeah, and he's just like,
I don't know what I'm doing the vampires, like, I
don't know what you are, but maybe you're a vampire.
Speaker 2: Stop being human. It sucks.
Speaker 3: So I watched them behind the scenes and they literally
were in the writer's room and just like, we kind
of want to somehow bring the vampires over. Who can
we bring over? And somebody was like, why don't we
just bring this random extra vampire?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So Rowan has a plan to bring all the Mayfairs
together and like trap Lasher or kill him.
Speaker 3: Well one to protect all the Mayfairs because they're dying. Yes,
so she's trying to protect the Mayfares from Lasher, but
they're still also her and Cyprian are both trying to
caper because.
Speaker 1: Now the time Evarena is trying to do it for
the Tallamasca and he's got a ticking clock thing where
they're gonna like wipe his brain. At some point, she
makes sure to wake She wakes Courtland up because the
thing is she can't kill Courtland. She just keep him
encased in stone, but then she wakes him up. She's like,
make some phone calls, get some get everyone here is like.
Speaker 3: Like the whole family pretty much hate him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: People show up and they're like, you didn't tell us
he was going to be here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was a secret that he was
kind of a dick, but again, because he was so likable,
they kind of walk that back.
Speaker 2: This season where they're like, well really, but she fails
to kill him. Uh.
Speaker 1: They get taken away and then at one point, Jojo
and another girl want to leave, but she puts them
in a thrall, which is like another dimension. But since
Lasher's been kidnapped and taken away, her powers are weak,
and now Jojo and this other lady are just ghosts
in the house that are stuck.
Speaker 3: And meanwhile the house is crumbling because Lasher was the
one that was keeping it the way it was And
did did Jojo Jojo?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Did? This is the point where Rowan is like, by
the way, your dad raped my mom and we're sisters, yeah,
which they were like, everybody's taking all.
Speaker 2: Of this very well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, they end up talking to uh, what's
his face? Courtland's dad?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. Cortland's dad is trapped in like a
ghost realm and you can get there through playing his
record player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he had a poly relationship with two of
them and they take turns going into the ghost realm
to hang out with him.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is where he realized, Hey, lash year
kind of sucked his villain and now he's a good guy.
Speaker 2: We need a villain this.
Speaker 3: Year, like oh in Mayfair?
Speaker 2: Yeah, ted Levine, Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Bill, Oh my god, he's so good in this.
Speaker 2: What did I just watch him in recently? Hold on?
Ted Levine was in something I watched and now it's
it's really driving me nuts. Hold on? What what? What
new thing is he in? Cape Fear? No?
Speaker 1: No, what the fuck did I watch with? Okay, well
I watched something with ted Levian and I can't remember
what it is. But yeah, so he like traps uh
rowan and there he traps like part of her brain
in there. That's all logic and then her romantic side
is like I'm gonna get.
Speaker 2: Back together with.
Speaker 3: Side is out and walking around. Her logical side is
trapped in this realm.
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, and she's bringing in her ex boyfriend into everything,
but then she learned she's gonna have to wipe his
mind at some point because you're they're they're not.
Speaker 2: Allowed to know.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Cyprian is getting more involved with the Tallabasca and
they're like, okay, we gotta learn what the fuck last
year is. We have the remains of his first form,
and we he meets Franka Patente Run Lola Run. She
shows up at TV shows every once in a while.
I'm like, Oh, it's frank up Atente who's psychic and psychically.
They're like, you got to meet the Tallamasca Council. And
then he like stares at her and she's all quiet.
It's like, okay, you're good. He's like, wait, what do
you realize she was psychically talking to a bunch of people.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They examined the body and they find out that he's
a taltose yes, which is an ancient species of non
human intelligent primates that originated on a volcanic island in
the North Sea and share some genetic traits with humans.
Tatos are somewhat human in appearance, though generally taller with long,
thin limbs. Their bones are mostly made of cartilage, So yeah,
they were. This is one of the many weird animal
people that Anne Rice started working into. These I guess
their volcano blew up their island. They're like, yeah, we'll
just bangs some Scottish people and crossbreed with them.
Speaker 3: And but just like she did all this later because
in the first thing, he was just like he had
been born human. He was like born to a Scottish
lord and a witch and was like human at one point,
and then he dies and then he gets called forth
by the Mayfair witch and now he's a special Taltos.
Speaker 2: Well he was.
Speaker 1: I think he was a Taltos hybrid because they cross
bread with humans, and I guess that's where they get
their powers from the tutos. A life span of a
Tautos is unknown, but they may be several thousand years old.
They're commonly killed either by their own naivety or by humans.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: I love that they just get kind of stupid. They're like,
I'm dead now, not to be not to be confused
with the replomoids.
Speaker 3: Who are just to make them demons, and it's so easy.
Speaker 1: No, no, Lena, it's very funny that the vampires are
spirits that are actually replamoids made by bird people.
Speaker 2: That's what we need.
Speaker 1: I swear to God, we better get a fucking parrot
on someone's head, going ra going.
Speaker 3: Ah, what I understand. Like, I'm a writer, and I understand.
You get to a point where you're like, the well
feels like it's running dry, and so I need I
need to get But but I'm just saying like you've
gone off.
Speaker 1: I haven't physically gotten there, but I guess at some
point an race is like, I want to write about Atlantis.
Speaker 2: And someone went, you got to do another Vampire Chronicles
and she went, our boyless stats going under the sea.
Speaker 3: Baby, let's exactly, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, space parrots all right in the chat. Let me know,
do you want the space parrots to show up in
one of these shows? Obviously you can't do the space
parrots right away. You gotta do the replomoids and then
the space parents. Let me know if you want space
parrots anyway.
Speaker 3: Because we have like the end of it when you
read the book and they're like, but but penny Wise
is actually just like a space god who looks like
a spider and rides the back of a turtle like well, he.
Speaker 2: Doesn't ride the bag. He's enemies. Yes, yes, the turtle
is one of the seven protectors of the Beam.
Speaker 3: What do you mean why is he not just a scary.
Speaker 1: My favorite is at the very end of the novel,
go back and watch our what is the best it?
There's just there's another god in Stephen King's universe, but
in it he didn't have an aim yet it comes
in the Dark Tower. There's just like eventually they leave
and then like God is like, good job killing that
thing for me kids, and they're like what.
Speaker 2: The fuck was that? There's just a random voice that goes,
good job. You're like Jesus. And then eventually Stephen Kings like, no,
that's a different space.
Speaker 3: I mean, who am I to speak for Stephen King?
But I think that's what happens when you do a
lot of coke when you're right.
Speaker 2: Why is no one taking a picture of Why is
no one drummed? The parents?
Speaker 1: The parrot people? Also, I just found a picture of
Ann Rice with Pumpkinhead.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess at some point Anne Rice took a
picture with the Pumpkinhead puppet.
Speaker 3: Anyway, anyway, were in Scotland, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they decide.
Speaker 1: They realize that they're in Scotland with Courtland's secret other family.
Julian had another family and he erased Courtland's brain and
this is where they kind of realized that Courtland was
kind of forced into mating with what's her face or
maybe he wasn't even in control.
Speaker 2: Of his body when it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, his brother and their family the Mikel
Moss or at least that's the town that they're in.
Speaker 3: They they have is the name of the festival that
they're having, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the town is called something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, they they have Lasher and they are
Ashler as he's now known. He remembering some of his
previous life. They want him to mate with another taltoast
that they have. It's the only thing he can mate
with that it won't kill, and they will have a
whole progeny of kids who will grow.
Speaker 2: Really really fast. And then you learn that they're gonna
eat these fucking kids and kill them during this festival
and Rowan's like, shit, that's my son.
Speaker 1: I can't have that. So then there's a big fight
at the end. Lasher dies and then gets brought back
to life and then he dies again and yeah, huh uh,
people are dying left and right. Julian takes over Courtland's body.
He goes into Courtland's body because he wants to live forever.
So he kind of had this all planned out that
he it was like one really long con to bring
Lasher into the world so he can. Then I think
he wanted to go into Lasher maybe so Lasher can make.
Speaker 3: They could have the babies and when you eat the
babies get the powers of the tetos.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, okay, And then again he wanted to be
in his son's body because the son cannot die.
Speaker 1: Uh see, a very very complicated ending. And then she
gets superpowers. She gets even more powerful, and then she
has to erase her boyfriend's brain and Cyprian's like, well,
I exist, I think, I guess I'll do more Tellamasca shit.
Speaker 2: And then she goes home.
Speaker 1: She's like, well, I got to pull those friends of
ours out of the fucking dimension. And that's where it ends.
Speaker 3: Yep. And now Cyprian is in charge of the New
Orleans House.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, uh, very complicated season. It's a very complicated show. Obviously,
with long books, it's good to make it into a series,
but I feel like you need it multiple seasons to
cover one of these books.
Speaker 2: It's just there's just way too much happening.
Speaker 1: She remains to be good. Courtland is great. I did
like Ted Levine as Julian.
Speaker 2: He was really good.
Speaker 1: And I actually like Lasher this season. I didn't buy
him as a bad guy, but I really like we
learned that the Taltos were manipulated, Like Lasher didn't start
off as evil.
Speaker 2: He was kind of manipulating being evil.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's way better this season. It's just kind
of like the sad lost little which boy.
Speaker 3: How about the wedding scene where they have the female
Teltos in the They.
Speaker 2: Have to keep him separated because they just want to mate.
And then when they.
Speaker 3: They find you and they slam together and the drape
drops and they go kurrent.
Speaker 1: Goes down because they know they're going to bang just
right then. And how did you feel about this season?
Are you excited for the third season coming out?
Speaker 3: No, I'll watch it, but I'm not. I was so underwhelmed,
and I think that it's way too complicated. It doesn't
need to be this complicated, and I feel like I
wish I could tell you if you read the book,
it would make more sense. It doesn't, it does. I'm
just like, what is I'm so confused by where they're
going with all of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just gonna get more powers, I guess for what.
I don't know. I don't know the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I was just like, I haven't texted you many times
like this. I'm having trouble pushing.
Speaker 2: Through on this one again. Thank God, she's pretty, but
it's almost not worth it. I mean, I'm in it now,
I mean it now.
Speaker 3: Ted Levine was great, Yeah, Harry Hamlin was great, and
I think that she is doing the best she can
with the material. But it just feels like schizophrenic. It
just feels like it's all over the place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot of Tallamasca stuff.
Speaker 3: They tried so hard, almost as.
Speaker 2: If there's so much Tallamasca stuff in this that you
don't need a spin off show because we're already getting
in in this.
Speaker 1: Cut to the short lived and Rice's Talamasca the Secret
Order show, which only lasted six episodes and was canceled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, episodes of life.
Speaker 1: So this is not based on any kind of book, yep,
this is a show that connects the universe. So it's
kind of like in the superhero world, it's kind of
like Agents of Shield connect with BMCU until it didn't
or actually there's a member of the cast in this.
But like CW's Legends of Tomorrow, was this show made
up of characters from the other shows and they would
all cross over. So I think AMC was like, we
need a big Talamasca show that we can explore all
these other different creatures and do all this fun stuff.
So this story is about a guy named Guy who
can read people's minds, even vampires. He gets recruited by
the Talamasca. He gets introviewced to introduced to Jason Schwartzman, vampire.
They imagine to get Jason Schwartzman for one episode, so
he is now confirmed that, you know, supernatural exists. The
Talamasca has been pushing him his whole life. They found
the right adopted mother to take care of him. They
added chapters in the interview with the vampire to specifically
get him to do stuff. We learn we learned that
from Daniel, who does show up in this and he's like,
the Talamasca maybe put.
Speaker 2: That in there. They publish the book.
Speaker 1: So their old thing is that they're watch and they
they're always there and they're not really supposed to.
Speaker 3: They watch but they don't get involved. But every every
episode is them getting involved.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of like whatever original plan
this organization has, it's been corrupted. Well, Raglan James is
in there, and if you know the book, you know
he's an asshole. Yeah, so I think think that's the
whole thing, Like the telemask is not really doing what
it should be doing. They're more manipulating things, which ties
into vampire less stat at some point.
Speaker 2: But we learn that the big mcguffin in this is
the seven to five.
Speaker 3: The seven sevent All of their knowledge ever that's been
written is somehow put into one book.
Speaker 2: Yeah or moutiple, Well, they think it's a book. They
think easily. There was a big warehouse, the big house
where they.
Speaker 1: Had there's multiple Talamasca houses and in the seventies one
of them was burned down, so so much of the
information is gone, but it was backed up in something called.
Speaker 2: The seven five to two or seven two five, which.
Speaker 3: We believe is a book until the end, yes.
Speaker 1: Yes, and in search of this book is a vampire
who I'm sure has a name, but played by William Ficknor,
who's awesome.
Speaker 2: I loved him in this he was so great. He
has an army of revenant vampires, so.
Speaker 3: That part I was like, that's he trained them with
the clickers that you use with dogs.
Speaker 1: He's purposely breeding like brain dead revenant vampires, like he's giving.
They're establishing here that a vampire can like make weaker vampires.
They can purposely. I don't know how it works. Maybe
they don't give them all their blood or whatever, but
like a vampire can like limit how much fledgling can
do if they want. So he's just making these basically
bring dead soldiers who at one point sneak in to
a house and just kill other vampires.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Crazy uh guy has a handler played by this lady
who is Vixen in CW's Legendslam Tomorrow and Ragland. James
even shows up doing off the book stuff. He learns
that all of the assignments he's doing are off the books. Basically,
the girl who recruited him is looking for her twin
sister who's missing, and it can't possibly be this lady
that he runs into who hangs out with witches because
she's young unless she was a secret.
Speaker 3: Vampire of course, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also, this lady has an unfortunate haircut and talked funny.
Uh yeah, and that is Telemassner. Turns out the seventh
I too, was the secret vampire sister we met along
the way. How did you feel about the show?
Speaker 3: Hated it absolutely. It was only six episodes. I it
was like, if it weren't for this live, I would
not have finished it. And part of that is knowing
that it was canceled made it hard to really get
into it because I was like, what's the point. But
I just I did not care about anybody in the show.
I thought Jasper, the vampire that was training the Revenants,
I thought that was like a clever idea that we
could play around with army Revenants, but that didn't really
go anywhere. I did not care at all all about
the main character. He was like hunting for his mom,
who he thought was dead, but it turns out she's
in hiding, And yeah, I just was like, I just
did not connect to it at all. I didn't think
it was necessary, and I thought it was very obvious
when you were watching it that it was created to
just try and get another show.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The good thing about Mayfair and Interview with the Vampire,
like you don't really have to know what's going on
in one or the other, like they Yeah, there, this
feels like a very old but like we're still I mean,
everyone loves shared universes.
Speaker 1: Studios still want their shared universe. But one of the
problems we discover what shared universe, Like Marvel and stuff,
they eventually became like homework and even like the CW
shows I was talking about, like Flash Arrow and all those,
eventually they were so interconnected that, like you had to
know what was going on in other shows, which is
why I stopped reading comic books.
Speaker 2: By the way, because there all these these big crossover events.
I'm like, I have to know what's going on in
four other things. They're trying to do that, which this
would have been a good idea ten years ago. It's
too late to do a thing like this now. Also,
I don't think the shows are popular enough to have
a show that connects all the shared universe. It's also
not based on any of her books.
Speaker 1: And the other problem is that we're already getting a
lot of tallamasca stuff in Mayfair Witches.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a good idea on paper. And here's
the thing. I actually didn't hate the show. I thought
it was perfectly okay.
Speaker 1: Misguide it. It shouldn't exist, or at least not now.
Maybe if this universe is able to sustain and other
shows end up being big hits, maybe then you do that.
But I thought it was easy to follow, way easier
to follow than Mayfair Witches, where I'm like, okay, he's
a what now. There were less characters to follow, even though,
like you said, they're not the most interesting. Honestly, that
that vampire Jasper was just so cool. He kind of
like made the whole show, and I wanted the mind
to see where it went. But yeah, I think they
had too much like, well, this will definitely get another season.
Speaker 2: I'm like, or maybe it won't. Maybe you want to
make this a little self contained.
Speaker 3: To me, it just felt dry and it just felt dry.
It felt lackluster. I was cracking up because this is
like a secret society, right, but I feel like everybody
was telling everybody else that they were part of the
secret society. Yeah, everybody's just like the worst.
Speaker 2: Well, even the witch lady. She hooks up what he
hooks up with, it's like, I'm a witch.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, nobody in the show keeps a secret. Nobody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he has to learn to be a spy,
and he learns how to be a spy in like
two days.
Speaker 3: He's like, I learned, that's right, Yes, that's right. Like
we're gonna give you what usually takes four years in
four days, and like what yeah?
Speaker 2: And also I get so Tellamasca.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, we're gonna maybe we'll explore other things,
and they just go vampires. I'm like, well we're already,
We're already getting vampires in another one of your shows,
maybe one or two.
Speaker 2: We probably went really heavy on vampires. Okay again yep, yeah,
what about those parrot people, which, for someone, for some reason,
no one has made fan art of.
Speaker 3: Maybe that was season two, but it never made it.
Speaker 2: We need those parrot people. I need that. I need them.
I don't even know if they're real, it's just what
I saw in Wikipedia. I assume they are. I'll find out. Yeah,
I thought it was okay, it was just just misguided.
Should not not now? Not now?
Speaker 1: Maybe after Vampire was stat because people like these shows,
but I don't think they're like gigantic really. I think
they do okay, And.
Speaker 3: I think the core audience is the people who are
ann Rice fans, and this this is just created so
with the Witch books are a prime example, and we
see them in the Vampire Chronicles as well as like
the Telemasca kind of weaves in and out, so we
like get their files on different things, and that's how
we get a little bit of backstory on people. But
I just don't think it needed to be its own thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they implied the end that Tallamasca is going
to make way more vampires, which I think is going
to play into Queen of the Damned. I don't know
if any of these characters will ever show up. I
would love to see Jasper show up in something in
the books. It'd be cool to have them, just because really.
Speaker 3: The whole great vampire conversion thing, which we can inta yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now the show, it's all right. I understand
why they canceled it. Sure I would have made it
a limited series and if it did well, maybe come
back with it. But yeah, they tried, they tried that.
I think this was an experiment. Can we do something
that's not strictly based off a book? Turns out they can't.
Turns out they can't. And again that lady's just very
that's a very unfortunate haircut. That really is next up.
Speaker 1: I apparently got the Spanish image El vampiro Lestat. Yes,
so Interview with the Vampire goes back and I kind
of like, I don't know if other shows have done
this where they're like, well, I can't really call it
Interview with the Vampire anymore because this one's the Vampire said,
They're like, let's just rename the show. And I love
that it starts with Daniel malloy going previously on the
show called the Interview with the Vampire.
Speaker 3: Yes, they know what they're doing, and the way they
announced it at San Diego Comic Con is it's at
this big panel and they said the third season will
officially be called The Vampire Lestat and Jacob Anderson like
pretends to get offended and like get up and storm out,
and it was all so well done. The way they
did it was so well done, and they're really they
really are playing to what they're doing, which is each book.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank god, they didn't combine it with Queen of
the Damned. That was a bad idea.
Speaker 1: So the Vampire list although they did add a lot.
So the Vampire lest that book is basically Listat just
telling his back story and then leading up to where
he is now getting ready for a big concert because
he's a rock star. Yes, and this show does kind
of do that. So Louis and Lestat got back together.
They were friendly again, and then he goes, hey, what's
this interview with the Vampire book?
Speaker 2: And Louie's like, oh god.
Speaker 3: He gets like a text or a tweet or something
and he was like, do you know about a book
called the.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, they've now broken up again, and it is
funny because yeah, no, the vampirestat Book is hilarious. I
was laughing when it starts. He's like, Hi, I'm the
Vampire Lestat. That louis a real asshole. I feel bad people.
He's like I only he's like, I never killed good people.
That person he said I killed that was a murderer.
Just take my word for it. You never know if
he's lying.
Speaker 2: And I love that it shows through the book goes like.
Speaker 3: What nice, nice, nice, And it was so good because
we've all been in that place of like reading what
an ex wrote about us and being like what that,
Oh my god, are you fucking kidding that never happened,
drawing in it and scratching stuff. It was so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I really really enjoy that. And by the way,
thank god he's the main character.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, so good. He's just so much more entertaining
than Louis And I'm like, oh my god. So yeah,
then Dori is rage. He starts a band. Yep, their
music wakes him up. Or maybe I'm just remembering the
movie version, but I like this. He just goes across
the streets like music sounds like shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He talk about how he's living in this apartment
in Montreal and it's not that bad except for the
fact that there's this horrible garage band across the street
and he deals with it, and he deals with it
and he deals with it. But I guess the book
set him off, so now he's pissed off. So he
like goes across the street and he's like, you're killing her,
and he's talking about the guitar. Very good, very good.
Speaker 1: Say hey, he starts a band and not everyone believes
he's a vampire. He's claiming he is. They think it's
from the book. Dang Malloy is back. He is now
doing a documentary continuing the adventures. And this is when
I found out that he is replacing David Talbot, who
is the older Tallamasca guy from the Mayfair or not
from the Body theme who.
Speaker 2: I had to text you.
Speaker 1: Apparently I don't know what happens in the later books,
but apparently fans end up hating.
Speaker 2: That character, okay, because he don't remember.
Speaker 1: Apparently he becomes a vampire or something, and then he
does some really shitty things. And then I was learning
all this on Reddit and I'm like, well, of course
Reddit's complaining they act like these characters are real. But
apparently enough people hate the David Talbot character, and in
this show they killed. They made a point to say
that he died off screen and was never introduced. Yeah,
and of course Daniel Maloy is now merged with that character,
so I'll.
Speaker 2: Find out what he did that was bad. Okay, so yeah,
he's doing this, and then we get to meet Lestat's mother, Gabrielle.
Speaker 3: Wait really quick, they have found a body double that
looks just like him, like him, but is like kind
of ugly and he's from the parting.
Speaker 2: His teeth are a little messed up.
Speaker 3: They put they put a wig on him and send
him out to like eat food and be seen out
in public so that people won't realize that Lestad is
really a vampire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we find Gabrielle, who was a character I
was excited to see. Yeah, but since these versions of
the vampires have sex and watch Lestet have sex with
his mom, I.
Speaker 3: Love the way they addrussed it though. Lestat's like, you
guys are being very good about the whole vampire ancest.
Speaker 2: Oh, his narration is so much for interview, and I
love that he'll like talk about gros stuff. He's like, yeah,
Louis didn't tell you that we pee do we We
don't do it all the time, but it's a lot
of blood.
Speaker 3: They pee urine, so they have to take in like
gatorides and stuff to rinse out the urinals.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Gabrielle shows up. We find out that that
was his mother in life and he turned her afterwards.
And they also killed their whole family, so they ended
up not doing the marquis him being too.
Speaker 2: Afraid to kill his dad. They had her kill him.
I'll talk more about Gabrielle in a second, but yeah,
she's back in his life along with the tour because
he needed her help. People are trying to kill him.
This fang gang is trying to kill him.
Speaker 1: We get to moments from interview with the Vampire, done
again from Lestat's point of view, showing that these fuckers
are lying like armand was like we were so in love,
and then we see it from his point of view
where he's like fuck you. And then also his mom
was there the whole time.
Speaker 3: Uh, and yeah, I love you and the stats like
oh god, yeah.
Speaker 1: And then we even get there's a big part I know,
Queen of the Damn She was introduced in the second book,
and we get to see that. We get to see
Lestat with those who must be kept, including Akasha yep,
who will have a bigger part next season.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, to meet Marius.
Speaker 1: We get to meet Magnus, yep, Marius, Magnus. They go
the wolves that he fought, all the stuff from the book,
it's changed. I think in the book he's only with
Akasha for a few days and they change it to
like ten years.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, so all that stuff is kind of in the book.
Speaker 1: Obviously, because this is a TV show, they don't want
to do what the book did, which is just kind
of forget Louie and I guess we'll give Louis something
to do, and it's basically the Talamasca is basically getting
him to do hits.
Speaker 2: They have him take down the fanggang, who.
Speaker 1: Is led by that prick Bruce Bruce, so he finally
gets revenge on Bruce and even reads Claudia's stuff as
he's killing him to Bruce.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then because they ended that plot line a little
too quick, they're like, what else can we have Louie do?
And they're like, what if he finds a reincarnation of Claudia, Yeah,
and then tries to get her to be the new Claudia. Also,
I forgot to mention Lestat is seeing his muses, which
are just spirits of people that he killed or like
former fledglings.
Speaker 3: What yah the night that fed on the LSD blood
or baby Jakes, And he was like high the whole
night and he was like seeing muses and he was
that was shot.
Speaker 1: He briefly killed her and got to see her soul
in the air and then bring her back to life,
but he's just like, ah, souls what And then like,
for whatever reason, souls of those past people start like
kind of coming in yeah, and interacting with him, which
is kind of cool because if the book was about
him reflecting on his life, that's a fun way to
still have a story in the present.
Speaker 3: And was so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a great scene where yes, because he
kind of like he's like a Magnus is like a fanboy.
Speaker 2: Whynot?
Speaker 1: But then you oh, yeah, it's when Louis is killing
Bruce and talking about the rape and then we see
Lestap being turned and it's kind of like symbolic of that,
like it was taken from him against his will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a really good scene. They even meet Merrick,
who is a wi shows up. Yes, who is a witch?
Speaker 1: Who I know the Merrick Book is a book that
bridges the Mayfair Witches and Empire chronicles.
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 1: They they do a seance to talk to Claudia and
Claudia Condie. Cludia gives them a piece of her mind
and then toward the end of the series they get
decapitate it.
Speaker 2: Bye bye armand and so much. But yeah, here's the thing, Armond.
He feels kind of sorry for being a prick, and
he's doing the twelve steps and he's trying to make
amends with people. And it turns out he's been in
love with Daniel all this time, or at least that's
what he's saying to Dan.
Speaker 3: That's not real. I think he's still I think he's
been in love with the stat this entire time. I
think everything has been about Lestat.
Speaker 2: But the whole thing is like he wants to make amends,
but no one wants to listen to him. So he's like,
all right, I want to cut their heads off so
they listen to me.
Speaker 1: And he just really wants to make He wants Louie
to forgive him and apologize. Yes literally, Loui's like, I'm
sorry that Louis won't a apologize for a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, I'm sorry that I said I loved you.
I didn't.
Speaker 3: Uh, that was my one and only. He's the love
of my life. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's never going to change.
Speaker 1: And Armand is making like a bunch of like followers.
There's all this like Armand told the truth or whatever,
and he's getting people to kill themselves. He gets one
of the band members to kill themselves. At some point,
there's a shooting. Someone tries to kill the SATs, so
the world, who doesn't think the stats really a vampire,
thinks he's dead. And then he secretly is recording his
album that'll be like his masterpiece about his whole life.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Those scenes are really cool because he's just like, because
like human music isn't doing it enough, and he's just like,
I need to be in pain. So there's this great
segment where he has to keep going into the sunlight
to sing to get the words just right, and he's
on fire, and he keeps doing it over and over again.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because he wants to get the scream. He
wants to get this scream, so he keeps exposing himself
to the sun to record him.
Speaker 1: A yes, and then the the show. The show's finale
is lastat dying. So because they have the blood of Akasha,
they're able to sustain and live.
Speaker 2: Uh, they'll will eventually die, but they're living longer.
Speaker 1: He's dying, and he gets to meet all his former
fledglings and all the pos.
Speaker 3: Had a dining room table with his mother Antoinette, Louis,
Marius or Magnus is there.
Speaker 2: Maria shows up eventually, but not Maria. She refused to
be there.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's like him talking through everything and it
was such a good scene. And then the table turns
into his last concert and in the concert is all
the people he's ever murdered, so we get to see,
like the porter from the train in the first season
of Interview, all these people. And then Paul shows up,
So that means when he told Louie I had nothing
to do with Paul's death, that was a lie.
Speaker 1: Because it's it's never flat out said, at least an
Interview of the Vampire that Louis was kind or Lestat
was kind of responsible, but it's kind of suggested that
it might have been.
Speaker 3: So when Paul showed up, I was like, there it is, yeah,
But then.
Speaker 1: He ends up not going to heaven by the way,
I love When Paul goes, it's like, I want you
to thank you for loving my brother, and he goes
still wish you were a woman, because again he's.
Speaker 2: A very deval you were a woman, but I would
have heard of you're a woman. And then the stat
even goes like so do I but yeah, they put
his head back on and then the show ends. We
forgot to mention. The show begins with an auction of
all of the stats recordings.
Speaker 3: Tell me it wasn't amazing when the first cabinet.
Speaker 2: Was like lights on fire, which is like what that
banksy guy did. He sold a painting and he lights
it on fire. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it begins and you see armand as an eyepatch,
Louis is big, So something's happened. Lisa is dead and
these are all like his recordings and everything. But it
wakes up with him about to do the concert with
the vampires. Now some of the vampires are pro being
exposed and others do not want to be and they
are ready to kill.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And what we didn't explain was the great
Conversion means the tipping point or the world now has
more vampires than humans. Yeah, and we are getting to
that tipping point where that is what's going to and.
Speaker 2: I think, what the hell is that?
Speaker 3: Oh ghost?
Speaker 2: Oh no thanks, no one drops something. Yes, we learned
that the Tallamasca wants.
Speaker 1: So the Tallamasca saves Louis and Lestatt and puts their
heads back on because they want this to happen. They
want this to go through, which was hinted in the
Talamasca show where they have yes.
Speaker 3: And also I don't know if we said this, but
Daniel was helping armand chop their heads off and kiss.
Speaker 1: Because he's got the whole and I love that Armand again,
who's never made a fledgling before. He's like, how come
sometimes I only see you? He's like, it might be
a psychic link. I don't really know how it works.
Speaker 2: I never did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 1: Then it ends with him about to do the show,
and then it skips to him recording going in the
sunlight and like the city's kind of devastated, So it
kind of skipped over the concert massacre, and I think
we're to assume that he is at that point with Akasha,
who will come back to life.
Speaker 3: This is what we'll now see in the next season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you think of the vampire less status?
Speaker 3: I loved it. I absolutely loved it. To me, it
was the payoff for sticking it out through the first
two seasons. It helped me like the payoff. And I
was watching an interview with Jacob and Sam and Jacob
was saying that because he knew that this season was
Louis Louis through Lestat's eyes, that he subtly changed his
performance to take on a little bit of Leastat's mannerisms and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and his always he's kill the Vampire Gang. He's
pretty much the stat at that point.
Speaker 3: It's so good and so to me, and I thought
it was. I loved that in the beginning, Lestatt is
texting and it says like dwa and wa, and you
think he's texting Lestat, only to reveal it's Gabriella and
their whole relationship. And I loved the way that Lastatt
and Louis interacted with each other. At this scene where Lestat,
I think it's the second to last episode for Lastad,
is like, oh, Louis finds out that Lastat's banging his mom. Yeah,
and he's like horrified and upset, and Louise Lastad is like,
are you kidding me? After everything he's he starts like
freaking out, and he's like, I I held your hand
well and walked in to see a waitress who looked
like our dead daughter to help you work through something
while I myself am barely hanging on and I can't
do this anymore. And that whole scene I was just like,
it was so powerful, the acting was so powerful, the chemistry,
it was like the payoff, it was getting to this point.
Speaker 2: It was very good.
Speaker 1: Again lest that being in charge now, Yes, definite improvement
in the books too, Devin improvement, But yeah, I like
revisiting stuff from different points of view.
Speaker 2: That was really good. I love the Claudia seans where
she's basically like, I hate it both of you. To
be honest, I hate you.
Speaker 3: You won't let me go. You have changed all of
the memories that I want. I hate you.
Speaker 2: And then she was kind of being able to live too.
She talks about the train incident. Did happen the way
she described it? She's like, I knew you would fall
for that, Louis.
Speaker 3: I know you're all lawyers, all of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then our mind what a real prick.
Speaker 3: He's a piece of shit.
Speaker 2: He's been doing this long time, this whole time, just
to fuck with them.
Speaker 1: Like even the girl that he gets to act as
his daughter, the new Claudia was set up by our mind.
Speaker 2: Oh that's the thing.
Speaker 3: So he meets the waitress and says ten thousand dollars
or she's like ten thousand dollars, and I will pretend
to be her, and so Louie's like done, I'll write
to check right now and then come to find out
that Armand found her and put her in place for
this to happen. Armand has been behind all of this,
and all of it is because Lestat doesn't love him.
That's what this whole thing is about. You're just like,
you gotta be kidding. Somebody please kill him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they can't. They got to do the Vampire
Urmand book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hotel Daniel. I loved Daniel up until the last
couple episodes and I was like, you bastard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I really liked the Kasha stuff. Although this is Lena.
There's one good thing Queen of the Damned the movie did.
In the book, Akasha is described as almost like inhumanly
white and super pale, with like hard skin. And how
the movie got around it they basically showed like, in
her statue form, she is pure white, correct, and that
would turn into Aliyah. I was hoping they would do that,
but like with modern effects, you can keep the statue
look a lot longer, and so I was finding like
she drank blood would then turn normal, but then she
just kind of looks like generic gray statue monster. I'm like, oh,
I kind of want to like the kind of porcelain
white inhuman thing. Because Akasha and Ankle the first two vampires,
they're like vampires are only six thousand years old.
Speaker 2: But like at some point, it's not really clear.
Speaker 1: At some point, I guess they just became just fed
up with everything and kind of going to a comato state,
like their skin gets too hard and everything, they don't
need blood as much. But then also it's kind of
like other vampires took advantage of that and keep them
like sort of sedate. It kind of but I loved
Akasha with like the stat like I love that, Marius.
This is like they barely talk to me, and then she.
Speaker 3: Talks to him right away, like I left you alone
and what did you do? I like that her finger
was like tapping along with the music and yeah, yeah,
I like.
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't really have to do a lot
with Ankle because he just dies, but I was hoping
they would do the scene where Ankle tries to kill
lit At Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the one biggest missed opportunity.
Speaker 1: They talk about it, but I wish we saw the
calamity so Akasha being the source for all vampires because
she's merged with the spirit who hates them, and they
better not simply, they better not make Akasha sympathetic because
she is the worst. And I have a feeling they're
gonna be like she was just misunderstood, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,
she was the worst because she is the source of
all vampires. They're all connected to her. At some point,
it wasn't Marius. It was like an elder I think,
I guess was tired of just having to watch them and.
Speaker 2: Was like, fuck it, I'm gonna put them in the sun.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I remember that, and like half the world's
vampires burned.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, pretty much every young vampire just incinerated. The older
ones all got horribly burned and had to like shield themselves,
and Kashi Ankle just got a little tan I think
in the sunlight.
Speaker 2: For a while.
Speaker 3: Mention it in the show right where he's like so.
Speaker 2: They mentioned him like, oh man, that was such a
cool part of the book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because, by the way, when that happens, it's years
before the stat but the Stat's like, yes, I remember
when that happened and me and my mom had to
jump into a bog. I'm like, that would have been
cool to see all the vampires around the world. Yeah,
but I guess they didn't do it. But I am
excited for her to come back and do all the
Queen of the Damn I am she was such a
bad guy.
Speaker 3: Like that thing they added with Gabrielle taking like nine
year old Lestat to see a bunch of witches be burned.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I love what he's telling the story.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great moment where he's being interviewed by
Daniel and he thinks he's getting this great interview, but
then he's psychically tricked Daniel.
Speaker 2: They just stood in.
Speaker 3: He was like it was all up here. That was
so good because he like cried and everything.
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 1: Love what he's talking about the witch burning because he's
all like, I think the two actually were witches, but
the other ones were just totally sick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he was like, that girl comes to play
at our house. How can you let this happen?
Speaker 2: Now? How did you feel about Gabrielle her Because in
the book, she's a hippie like in the book.
Speaker 1: Once she gets these powers and learns enough about it,
she kind of leaves the stad but like, she doesn't interview,
she doesn't interact with the human or bad pirate world.
She's like so into nature. She just goes into the
She she still loves the stat and she returns when
he needs help. But I guess they wanted to make
her more of a character.
Speaker 3: But like, this version of Gabrielle is just so the
reason that I'm the reason that I'm willing to ride
with it is because I think this version of Gabriella
explains a lot about Lastat. So the way that she
uses sexuality and manipulation and lies and bends the truth.
That's what Lastat does. And so you watch what she
does and they're like, well now it all makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just kind of wanted the forest hippie thing. Yeah,
where she's like I came back to say, my baby boy,
now I'm gonna go hug a tree.
Speaker 1: But I think body thief. He's like, yeah, I don't
even know where Gabrielle is somewhere, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I did. I was kind of
like rooting for them too. When they went back and
killed their whole family, because their family is very unlikable.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, kind of good for you girl, Sele stats
first love and this is where we see where they're like,
you got you can't just make anyone a vampire.
Speaker 3: They can't handle it correct because they talk about it
a lot, but we don't get to see it too much.
That like, not everybody survives the term because it's not
for everybody.
Speaker 1: And I love that he yells at Magnus when he's
in the afterworld sort of thing. He's like, and fuck you,
what was even the point of all this? Why did
this change him?
Speaker 3: And there's just killing telling Sam Reid should win all
the awards for this season.
Speaker 2: He was great. He was great. This is a great
direction for the series to go. And I really want
to see what the aftermath. I really want to see
what that fucking concert brawl is going to be.
Speaker 3: Very very excited for the next season. And can we
just say the music, Yeah, songs are great. I loved it.
And the scene of him singing that slow song just
for Louis and Gabrielle that's essentially about Claudia, the stained
glassed eyes, stained glass eyes. I cried.
Speaker 2: Because I'm a man like that would be if I
if I was like a Joey c or something, I
might have cried. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: Spets because remember he even says like she looked at
me like she was calling out for me to save her,
and like that's what I'll always remember, is is her
hoping that I'm going to which.
Speaker 1: I do think they're skipping ahead a little bit because
that's how like Body Thief opens, He's like hallucinating seeing
Claudia and he thinks her spirits talking to him. Yep,
so they skipped ahead to that, and yeah, Raglin James
is there, so he's definitely gonna do something.
Speaker 2: I'm on board now. The first season was a little bumpy.
I'm now on board with this. I don't know if
they're going to cross over at Mayfair, which is maybe
if they get to that book. How many books are
there in the Vampire Chronicles, that's a.
Speaker 3: Really good question. I don't know, but I will be
watching the second the Queen to the Damn drops. I
don't know if I'll be watching Mayfair, which is season three,
like the moment it comes out, I'm sure I'll eventually
watch it, but well, obviously.
Speaker 2: We uh thirteen books, thirteen books. You think you're gonna
get thirteen He's gonna age eventually. You think you're gonna
get thirteen seasons?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was I mean princes Stat I remember reading.
I think the last one I read was Princely Stat,
which I think was.
Speaker 2: Just twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: Man, she was really just It's funny there's like a
ten year break between Interview and Vampire and then she
was just chugging them out like crazy.
Speaker 3: For her, I'm trying to write books six and I'm like,
I'm burned out.
Speaker 2: Man, did you put a dragon in it? Yet? There?
Speaker 3: You go, let me write that down.
Speaker 2: I told you this, you were talking. I'm like, put
a dragon in it?
Speaker 3: Okay, you got it?
Speaker 2: Just introduced dragons, you got it.
Speaker 3: I'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: And then also the vampires once had a pact with
the Dragondagons. There's dragons, by the way, and.
Speaker 3: Also there's half dragon half vampires.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're the best, they're the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So are we agreeing that Vampire Lestat was the best?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I guess we're at that time. What is
the best show in Anne Rice's Immortal universe? I mean,
I guess, I guess technically it's interview with the vampire,
but specifically the vampireless.
Speaker 2: At is the best.
Speaker 3: I agree one thousand percent. And I was so excited
when you texted me and you said, Okay, I'm ready
for the vampire lest At. I was like ooo, because.
Speaker 1: The worst, as pretty as she is, Mayfair Witches is
just a kind of a jumbled.
Speaker 3: Mess, I have to say. Telemasca. I was so I
could have smashed my face against a wall. I was
so bored, at least with the Mayfair Witches. I was like,
there's a lot of people. There's a lot happening. The Witches.
Speaker 1: I want to spin off of Courtland with Jasper from
Tallamasca and they go on together and their best friends.
Speaker 3: You're best Friend's road Trip.
Speaker 2: By old r V the.
Speaker 3: Country.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say, check out these shows.
Speaker 1: Give the I know I am a hypocrite because I
did not give these shows a chance until we did this,
But give them a chance. If you like the books.
Obviously they're going to make changes. I didn't agree with
all the changes. I don't like Gabrielle in these but fine, fine.
Speaker 3: So what I like about this is it is going
to bring the books back because the people in between
seasons are going to go read the books, and so
I like that after fifty years these books are now
interview with the vampire is going to make a comeback.
People are just start reading them again, and I like that.
It's keeping Anne Rice alive.
Speaker 2: So I'm down, yeah and out real quick, real quick.
Hold on, just just because I keep talking about them.
Let's read The Parents. The Parents are bird like alien
species from the planet Brevenna, first introduced in Prince Lestat
and the Realms of Atlantis. The Parents are responsible for
the creation of Replmoids, the abduction and augmentation of the
human aml, and the destruction of the city of at Latiania.
The species is known only as the Parents, the name
they are called by the Replmoids. The Parents are very
tall and thin, with large white faces, glossy black eyes,
and beaks. Their hands are large and white, about twelve
inches from palm to fingertip, with five fingers on each hand,
and their legs are long and slightly bent. They are
covered in feathers of various colors and have folded wings
on their back. The Parents have an extreme dislike for
mammals and create video streams from broadcasting points on Earth
to observe humans, who they view as an polutionary mistake.
According to the parents, mammals were not intended to evolve
to higher levels of intelligence, and the cruelty and destruction
they caused by humans and their emotions is unique within
the known universe or the realm of world. Wow.
Speaker 1: Well, a human augmented by the parents with the same
technology used to create the replmoids originally sent to Earth
to Unleasha plegue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a plague repelled against the parents and
speculated on their true motives.
Speaker 1: Ammial theorized that the collection of video streams from Earth
documenting human emotions of creeth and anger and sorrow in
some way delight or literally provide fuel for the parents
and other non math Oh so there's more.
Speaker 2: There's other non mammal higher species. It is also speculated
that the concept of a higher god, which the parents
refer to as the Maker. So there's something.
Speaker 1: Above the parents called the Maker, was planted or encouraged
on Earth so humans would justify and not seek to
end cycles of suffering.
Speaker 2: We got to get to that season, Lena, I need
a whole seat.
Speaker 3: I think you need to write that movie.
Speaker 2: AMC hire me to do?
Speaker 1: And Rice's the bird People of Bravenna and it's just
bird people going like squat and they like what, you
know what? It's just bird people sitting around watching the
previous seasons of all the shows and they just and
they talk about it.
Speaker 3: I just imagine them. They're in the writer's room at
AMC and they're like, how do we make that sexy Lena?
Speaker 2: They'll do.
Speaker 1: Imagine us right now talking about the show. But we're
bird people going what And that's the whole show, the
stats dancing, and then a bird guy goes.
Speaker 3: Whoa, it's like Mystery Science. There are three thousand, but just.
Speaker 2: Bird I'd watch that and every once in a while
they make a repleboid did you want to know where
to rep? The boi is wow? So that is it.

White Lotus where Sidney Sweeney is jealous of her and

Speaker 3: What's a ten?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I responded to Lauren, shut up

Speaker 2: Uh but yes, uh. I guess that's it for Waslita?
What do you have coming up on your chat? You
just did talk about Castlevania. You went down a Caslvania
rabbit hole. So we know this.
Speaker 3: Well. Sometimes you're so peer pressured and harassed to cover
something you're like, fine, So I covered all four seasons
of Netflix's Castlevania. They are all out on my channel now,
so now they'll have to come up with something new
to harass me to cover. So I just did Castlevania.
I have some like in person things happening. I'm doing
a Bathrey, a bloody bathory birthday party at a local
hore gym here in Pittsburgh. I have to get this
last book written.

I even sent you the picture when I was like,
wait you do Yeah, I was like, what am I watching?
So I have a guest coming on to talk about it,
and then you got you're the first to hear this.
In September and October, we are stepping away from the vampires,
and every week I will be talking about a movie
that is set on Halloween. So you have to check
out my stuff to see the ones that I've chosen.
So we'll do every week it's a different Halloween movie
leading up to Halloween, so we'll take a break from
the vampires.
Speaker 2: Actually hold on.
Speaker 3: I have to.
Speaker 2: Hold on one second. One second, I might need to
get you involved in something.

Speaker 2: Joe? Hold on?
Speaker 3: Let me it says, don't be afraid, just start the tape.
Speaker 2: Hold on, there we go. Yep. Wait, it's on your bicep.
Oh screw you, get your bicep down. Stop having better biceps.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 1: Yes, So I'm going to attempt I wasn't able to
last year. I'm going to attempt another commentary track album
for all the Halloween movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have some pick And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: There are there's two cuts of both Rob Zombies Halloweens
and two cuts of Halloween six. So I can have
multiple people for technically the same Halloween movie if I
want it, although I don't know if I want to
do both cuts, although I'll think about it. I'll throw
you on one of those, leader, I'll throw you on one.
Speaker 3: Of I'm in, and then we'll have to plan what
is the worst Twilight.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great time. But yeah, oh, you
didn't know anything about the Castlevania games, right? No?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 1: I feel really bad? Now, hold on, I should have
sent you this. Okay, But so I used to work
for I used to work for Castlevania. I used to
work for Angry Video Game Nerd, and his first, the
first Angry Video Game Nerd episode was Castlevania two, him
shitting on it, but he did a retrospective of like
all of them, and recently he did what is the Best?
I probably should have sent you those if you needed
a crash course in Castlevania. I don't know, really, all
I know from the lore are those videos, and they
