Spin-off! We talk Nosferatu (2024), and discuss comparisons with Nosferatu (1922) and Dracula, gothic horror, repression, and taboo, vampire variety through the eras, and mental illness and the supernatural. Also: As many tangents as you'd expect, incl misunderstanding Lily-Rose Depp's name.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of antiziganism, mental illness and related stigma, necrophilia, patriarchal violence against women, and sexual assault.

Questions, queries, or just to say hi!
