612: "This Town Needs An Enema!" | Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) — Mel Brooks sinks his teeth into gothic comedy with Leslie Nielsen as the most bumbling Count ever to grace the silver screen. We’re breaking down the slapstick, the satire, and the surprisingly gorgeous production design in this often-overlooked spoof. From rubber bats to ballroom bites, we ask the ultimate question: does Brooks’ final parody still have life after dark?

611: "Would you follow Macaulay Culkin up a flight of stairs?" | Jacob's Ladder (1990)
For our tenth anniversary rewatch, we descend once again into the haunting nightmare of Jacob’s Ladder (1990). Joined by Patreon Co-Executive Producer and horror aficionado Rob Perry, we revisit Adrian Lyne’s psychological thriller to unpack its twisting layers of grief, trauma, and reality-bending terror. From Vietnam to New York and beyond, we explore how the film mixes horror with heartbreak — and why it still hits just as hard, decades later.

610: "Schindler's Lips" | The Addiction (1995)
In this episode, we sink our teeth into The Addiction (1995), Abel Ferrara’s moody, black-and-white vampire film that’s as much about Sartre and sin as it is about blood. We unpack the heavy philosophy behind the movie’s take on evil, addiction, and moral decay — and ask whether vampirism is just a metaphor for being human. Along the way, we wrestle with Nazi imagery, existential dread, and whether philosophy helps or just makes everything way more confusing.

609: "I already had Italian" | Vampire in Brooklyn (1995)
Sink your teeth into this one—we’re diving fang-first into Vampire in Brooklyn! Eddie Murphy brings the bite and the sass as a smooth-talking bloodsucker looking for love (and maybe a little chaos) in the Big Apple. It’s part horror, part comedy, and all Eddie. So grab some garlic (or don’t, if you’re trying to impress him)—this episode is gonna be a bloody good time.
