Episode 143 - Vampire Movies are (mostly) Trash

Why are vampire movies all the same? Either they’re romance movies where a bored woman gets swept off her feet by a posh zombie, or they’re supervillains who drink blood, can’t go outside, and may or may not have reflections, hate garlic, or squeal when holy water touches them. We honestly don’t answer this question this week - we just complain about what’s wrong with them. We also talk about the most egregiously bad vampire movies, the ones that actually work, and what we thought of the musical “Hamilton” - which isn’t a vampire movie, at least not yet. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:55 - Hamilton (2020) | 11:59 - Missile Command: Recharged (Atari, 2020) | 14:06 - Cunk on Britain | 26:23 - Vampire Movies | 31:04 - Shadow of the Vampire (2000) | 34:20 - Dracula (John Badham, 1979) | 41:16 - The Hunger (1983) | 48:32 - Near Dark (1987) | 50:42 - Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) | 55:50 - The Lost Boys (1987) | 1:01:17 - Let The Right One In (2008) | 1:06:17 - The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | The Birthday Party - Release the Bats | Monty Python - The Spanish Inquisition | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Lin Manuel Miranda & Cast - My Shot - Hamilton: Original Broadway Cast Recording | Missile Command: Recharged Official Trailer | Clip from Cunk on Britain - Episode 4 | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Susan Sarandon - Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me | James Salvatore - The Woods - Shadow of the Vampire Soundtrack | John Williams - Opening And Storm Sequence - Dracula | Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead | Tangerine Dream - Caleb’s Blues - Near Dark Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Jozef Van Wissem & SQÜRL - Only Lovers Left Alive | Gerard McMann - Cry Little Sister (Theme from The Lost Boys) | Johan Söderqvist - Let the Right One In | Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)
