Episode 151 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Get ready for another discussion between Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell about a movie of any year, any genre and any quality.

Our vampire movie miniseries continues with a film that was once thought lost - it's Kathryn Bigelow's NEAR DARK! We're still in 1987 for a film which was released a few months after The Lost Boys and more or less disappeared in its wake. It's now ripe for rediscovery and Darren explains why he's such a big fan of it.

On the other hand, it's a first watch for Hayley after she managed to track down a copy. Did she enjoy it nearly as much as her co-host? There's also chat about distribution issues, misleading tag lines, some James Cameron-inspired casting, the film's status as a bonafide work of art and so much more besides, including a sidebar on Twilight (yes, it's kind of connected to Near Dark). Do you really think your hosts are fans of that one?

Our spooky Halloween theme gets another welcome airing. It's written and performed by Mitch Bain, but you already knew that. You can find him on Instagram if you look for "evertheoptimitch".
