    Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (TheWildaBeast) go full spoiler on Luc Besson's Dracula (2025) — also known overseas as Dracula: A Love Tale — and buckle up, because this movie is a LOT. In this breakdown episode (156b), they tear into everything: the shameless Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Coppola rip-offs, the cologne-fueled nun-feeding frenzy, kung fu gargoyles doing Black Widow throws, a Zoom-background ballroom dance sequence, the "cocaine bride," and an ending that may or may not set up a sequel nobody asked for. Is it a trainwreck? Absolutely. Is it entertaining? Somehow, yes. This is the ultimate "so bad it's good" group watch — think Hammer Horror meets Tim Burton meets Beauty and the Beast on a bad CGI budget.

    "Luc Besson's DRACULA (2025) Review — Baroque Mess or Vampire Masterpiece? Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (The WillDaBeast) dive into Luc Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale (2025) — the wildly divisive gothic romance that premiered at Cannes Film Festival and is finally making its way to audiences. Is this campy, kung-fu-gargoyle-filled fever dream a bold reimagining of Bram Stoker's classic or just an expensive baroque mess? The guys break down Caleb Landry Jones's hypnotic, chameleonic turn as the Count, Christoph Waltz completely going off-script, the film's obvious debt to Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and why — despite everything — neither host could look away.

Based on a short story by Stephen King's son Joe Hill, the sequel is directed by genre friendly director-writer Scott Derrickson who also helmed the Sinister films and Doctor Strange. Starring returning actors Mason Thames (who is on a hot streak as the current IT actor), Madeleine McGraw, Miguel Mora, and Ethan Hawke, is this sequel a worthy expansion of the Grabber storyline/universe or is it just silly “bigger, bolder, better but more of the same”?                  ACCEPT THE CALL AND MASK UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!October is still “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films - John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, VHS Halloween, I See You, and spotlights director Brandon Christensen whose Shudder exclusives have become WillDaBeast must see's.
