Remember that surprisingly well-defined contest Elliott spearheaded a few episodes back? Well the contest winner decided what we should watch, and it was Interview with the Vampire. Will we fall victim to its bloodsucking charms? Meanwhile, Elliott apologizes to goths, Stuart lists a few Ecks vs. Sever sequels, and Dan disputes the very premise of the movie.

“Where do you see yourself in 5000 years?”
Louis is just so dense with joie de vivre that it’s become a black hole of joy, and none escapes. So, he appears joyless on the outside because he’s keeping it all inside for himself. Or, that’s nonsense. Yeah, probably the nonsense thing. Carry on.

Thanks for this version!
Of all people, you guys should know that Thandie Newton isn’t a vampire. She’s a Necromonger.
(Also, Elliott, please pretty please stop saying “grand gweenol”. I’m not even a Francophone, and I feel pain every time.)
Then somebody needs to teach me how to say it!

Something I meant to mention earlier but forgot until now: Planet of the Vampires is a real movie, directed by Mario Bava, and it’s spookifyingly nice-good! One of my favorite sci-fi movies of the ’60s (pre-2001, of course) and often cited as a likely influence on Alien.
aaaand, after months of listening to the flophouse whenever i wanted to, i’m all caught up and need to wait for the next episode. how do people survive the wait?????
If Elliott intentionally tries to be a bit less funny, he’ll probably be more funny and the overall quality of the show would improve.
