Podcast appearances and mentions of Anne Rice

Based on the bestselling 1976 novel by Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire is a lush, atmospheric, and emotionally complex horror drama that chronicles two centuries of immortality, loneliness, and moral struggle through the eyes of the vampire Louis. Set against backdrops ranging from 18th-century New Orleans to modern-day San Francisco, this isn't just about bloodlust — it's about guilt, love, and what it means to be human… or not.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Send us a textTake a journey into the sumptuous yet flawed world of Anne Rice's vampires as Tony and Dan sink their teeth into "Interview with the Vampire," the 1994 adaptation that tantalized audiences but left many fans of the novel bloodthirsty for more.The hosts explore how this gothic tale suffers from its reluctance to embrace the passionate relationships at its core. While Tom Cruise goes full throttle as the flamboyant Lestat and Brad Pitt broods intensely as the tortured Louis, their chemistry never ignites the screen with the intensity described in Rice's prose. But amidst these missed opportunities shines Kirsten Dunst, whose haunting portrayal of the child vampire Claudia steals every scene—a remarkable achievement considering her young age and the Hollywood heavyweights surrounding her.With their trademark humor, Tony and Dan pick apart the film's logical inconsistencies while appreciating its sumptuous visual aesthetic and practical effects. They examine how the 1990s cultural context limited the film's willingness to explore its queer subtext, creating a strange dissonance where characters who should be deeply connected barely seem to like each other.The discussion ventures into fascinating territory as they consider the nature of immortality, the horror of eternal stasis, and how the film's portrayal of vampirism differs from both its source material and other vampire stories that followed. Whether you're a devoted fan of Rice's vampires or just curious about this influential piece of 90s cinema, this episode offers bloody good insights into what makes "Interview with the Vampire" both memorable and frustrating.What vampire films do you think better capture the sensuality and horror of immortality? Share your thoughts in the comments and join us next week when we'll be reviewing the 2025 adaptation of "Snow White."Written Lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

What Mad Universe?!? has returned from the grave! In this episode, we look at one of the lynchpins of modern pop culture--the interconnected horny goth supernatural universe of Anne Rice, the world that launched a thousand ships and may be the origin point for a huge chunk of internet culture! And yes, Philip's going to read every single book and report back to us in another of our patented ongoing multi-part serieses! In this one, we look at the foundational books, Interview With The Vampire and its direct sequels, in the shadow of the current, acclaimed TV adaptation. Do they suck? Well, yes, but in a good way, or a bad way? Support us on Patreon and listen to the show a week early!

This week, Sam and Hannah are back from a heavy Memorial Day Weekend of reading, and Hannah's books, in particular, are once again well-coordinated. Even if they're a little hard to describe. Also, this is a solid Pride episode, sort of by mistake. Here's what's on tap: - "The Book of Records," by Madeleine Thien, which is as meaty a read as we've had in a while, full of philosophical truths and a building made of time. This is great stuff.  - "Erasure," by Percival Everett, who is legitimately among the most important writers working today. This is the book that was made into the movie "American Fiction," but, as you might imagine, is even better than the movie.  - "I'll Tell You When I'm Home," by Hala Alyan, who this time delivers a memoir grappling with her family's history of immigration, escaping Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion and coming to the U.S. This book shows you what generational trauma means.  - "The Phoenix Pencil Company," by Allison King, a data privacy professional who's crafted a magical text about a family that can read pencil hearts (they stab it into their veins) that's perfect for Pride month. It's weird, yes. But new and different.  - "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil," by V.E. Schwab, which is an ode to Anne Rice — a vampire book — but doesn't really follow Rice's vampire rules, exactly (they're all lesbian vampires, which is different). The second half of this is pretty great.  - Oh, and we're not going to tell you which book it is we disliked so intensely. See if you can figure it out. And there's no real good reason why this didn't get posted before June 10, other than Sam being in Iceland and not feeling like posting it. Sorry.

We're back bitches! And just in time for Pride Month™After a brief hiatus, the boys join forces again to look at a beloved flick from Justin than Joe has never seen before: Interview With the Vampire! A thrilling, deep commentary on queer relationships, exploration, and defining one's "otherness" are the cornerstones of this peak 90's movie. Heralded by Hollywood heavy hitters Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, this piece of cinema unapologetically leans into Anne Rice's homoerotic overtones much to the delight of many viewers. Without a doubt, consider this a gay/bi-panic inducing flick.Next up is Joe's pick for Justin, the 1992 comedy classic "Sister Act"!--We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where we introduce movies, tv, music, and books to each other to get a little bit more cultured.

“I tell kids that books are not there to torment you. The author has to get you in the first ten pages. If they do not, they fail, because a book is like a lawnmower—you pull it, and either it starts or it doesn't start.” –Soman ChainaiSoman Chainani wants reading to feel irresistible. The bestselling author of "The School for Good and Evil," series and the recently released graphic novel, "Coven," shares how his own reading life began—powered by Anne Rice, Michael Crichton, and a complete lack of adult supervision—and how those early obsessions shaped his belief that stories should be bold, boundary-pushing, and personal.In this episode, Soman explains why middle grade books can (and should) feel dangerous, how his grandmother's glamorous storytelling shaped his imagination, and what a book needs to do in its first ten pages to hook a reader. He also unpacks the “moral grayness” that defines his favorite novels and his own writing, and makes a compelling case for why kids need more honesty, not less, in the stories we give them.Tune in for a fast-paced episode that includes Madonna, hot takes, and tips for breaking (all) the rules. ***Soman's reading challenge, Immersive, is all about getting lost in a story. The books he curated blur the line between fiction and reality, pulling the reader in so completely you forget the world around you. Learn more and download Soman's recommended reading list at threadingculturepod.com/soman-chainani***This week's featured librarian is Jasmine Haverly from Aldine Independent School District in Texas.

Elizabeth Lewis and Robin Werner are both English professors at the University of New Orleans which makes for quite the gothic setting! They discuss how they first became interested in vampire literature, Robin through her fascination with Anne Rice novels in high school and Elizabeth through her interest in Southern Gothic Literature.First, Robin and Elizabeth explain their process of putting together the anthology and why Vampire Literature is organized around theme rather than chronology. Then, the discussion turns to the significance of the vampire figure and how the vampire represents themes of power, desire, consent, and blurs the boundaries between human and monster. We rate our favorite vampire figures from the monstrous Nosferatu to the seductive Lestat. And we discuss why so many gothic villains from vampires to witches speak to issues of race, gender, and sexuality.

The creatures and their mannerisms that inspired Toothless's design, worries over the upcoming live-action reboot of HTTYD, the aversion to referring to wild animals that you hunt as “game,” and the physical aspect of voice acting comprise a few of the subjects that this episode dives into.Directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, How to Train Your Dragon stars Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J.

It feels like just yesterday we started Retroactive Y2K month, but tragically it's already time to bring it to an end. That said, just like with the original Y2K, we're ready to party like there's no tomorrow, which is why we brought in Queen of the Damned (2002) to help us celebrate Monica's birthday. Part of the larger Interview with the Vampire world and a pseudo-sequel to the 1994 flick, this movie doesn't star Tom Cruise, but it's still an iconic entry into the Lestat Serving Cunt canon. Anne Rice may not approve, but Aaliyah's got the moves on a new Spooky Tuesday.

In episode 15 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay, Isi, and Joseph explore vampires in media, across genre and time! Welcoming back Joseph after a few episodes away, the episode kicks off with a games roundtable on Monster Hunter: Wilds (Capcom, 2025) and Pentiment (Obsidian, 2022), among other things. Then the group quickly dives into all things vampire. From Capital to Castelvania, the conversation analyzes the psychosexual, political economic, Orientalist, literary, genre, social, and even epidemiological metaphors, allegories, and tropes that haunt vampire stories and have made the figure of the vampire of such perennial—if shifting—fascination. How have vampire stories changed over time? Why do vampire stories shift and blur genre and valence? Why is the vampire such a perennial stand-in, across so many fields, often at the same time? Objects in consideration include: Carmilla (Sheridan Le Fanu, 1872), Dracula (Bram Stoker, 1897), Interview with the Vampire (novel: Anne Rice, 1976; TV adaptation: Rolin Jones, 2022-present; film: Neil Jordan, 1994), The Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches (Anne Rice), Nosferatu (F.W. Munrau, 1922), Nosferatu (Robert Eggers, 2024), A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Ana Lily Amirpour, 2014), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Joss Whedon, 1997-2003), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Konami, 1997), Castlevania (anime, Warren Ellis, 1997-2021), Castlevania: Nocturne (anime, Clive Bradley, 2023-present), True Blood (TV series, Alan Ball, 2008-2014), The Twilight Saga (films 2008-2012, based on the novels by Stephanie Meyer), Midnight Mass, What We Do In The Shadows, and many more! Discover how the erotic, the economic, the exotic and even the epidemic all collide in the tragedies, comedies, horrors, nightmares, and fantasies that prove the vampire is a potent if changing symbol for fears, desires, and delirium.

He's not just any vampire, he's THE vampire. Today we are talking about Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. While this book may be a classic and probably made Twilight what it is today, the craziest part of this episode is what Anne Rice's name was at birth. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

Before they became true crime mavens and the host of a podcast some call My Gayvorite Murder, Christopher and Eric hosted the madcap live internet radio variety show, THE DINNER PARTY SHOW WITH CHRISTOPHER RICE & ERIC SHAW QUINN, hours upon hours of sketch comedy featuring their deranged special correspondents alongside lively interviews with surprising and amazing celebrity guests. Who was their favorite celebrity interview of all? (Other than the most obvious one, of course, dearly departed Premiere Party Person, Anne Rice.) Here are some hints. Her books took Hollywood by storm, she lived as well as her characters did and her sister was as cool as she was. This special re-broadcast contains a dewy eyed and nostalgic new intro from your hosts and some new nostalgic afterthoughts as they take you on a sentimental journey.

If this book has no haters...the four of us are dead. Tune into this week's episode to hear Charlotte, Shelby and Jena tell Riley all about this completely insane retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Beauty is woken up abruptly by the prince after sleeping for 100 years and captured to be brought to his village as a slave. She is to remain naked 24/7, sleep in all sorts of crazy positions and don't get us started on the spanking... Will she ever grow a backbone and start plotting her escape?!Book Credit: The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice

Mark Twain. George Sand. Stephen King. George Orwell. Dr. Seuss. J.K. Rowling. Anne Rice. All these authors have at least one thing in common--they all go by (or have gone by) pseudonyms on their bylines. Perhaps you're considering whether to adopt a pen name for your memoir, so should you? Barbara tends to feel that pseudonyms work better for fiction than memoir, but feel free to disagree--listen to this week's episode for her rationale.

What do you get when you take the gothic, queer romance sensibilities of Anne Rice and filter them through hit-making director Tony Scott and arthouse actors like Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie? You get a unique vampire movie that blends beauty and horror in equal measures, with bold and experimental stylistic choices, and you get a whole episode of HPH discussing it! Let's dive in.

Kid A.G. and Hat Trick dissect the erotic audio book revolution, where words drip with desire, making your imagination the most potent sex toy. We delve into how these stories can make you question your kinks, your relationships, and your very sanity.  The conversation shifts to the murky waters of parenting in a world where innocence is as fleeting as a one-night stand.  This isn't just about getting off; it's about understanding the primal, the taboo, and the downright dirty facets of human sexuality through the art of storytelling. You'll laugh, you might blush, but you'll definitely leave with a new perspective on what gets us going. Key Topics Discussed: Smut Odyssey: Navigating through the seedy underbelly of audio erotica, from Disney-themed debauchery to the art of mental masturbation. Sexual Revelations: Personal tales of kinks, from choking to the unexpected joys of a bag full of dicks. Corrupting Innocence: The debate on whether to shield children or expose them to the real, sticky world of sex. Relationship Carnage: Dissecting jealousy, polyamory, and the thrill of being bad in the bedroom. Perverse Reflections: A look at how our society fucks with our perceptions of sex, privacy, and what we think is 'innocent'. Highlights: Hat Trick shares her journey from Anne Rice's erotic awakenings to the modern smut scene. Exploration of how listening to smut can make you harder, wetter, and more imaginative than porn ever could. A raw discussion on how to handle kids' sexual awakening without losing your mind or theirs. Recorded: January 15, 2025 at Studio 163 Host: Kid A.G.Guest: Hat Trick

He's Marius, a vampire who keeps getting stuck in things! She's Pandora, horny middle aged lady goals! Forget it, Jake, it's Anne Rice! We promised a special January 6 "we're not going back!" episode because... we thought it was going to be funny because we expected things to go somewhat differently! Ha! Ha! So funny! So it's a damn good thing we ended up all loving this book. We're joined by our usual Special Guest Claire and had a great time talking about ol' "yeah but can you fuck" Pandora, bless her. Content warnings are the usual vampire business, the usual Anne Rice xenophobia, and a lot of Roman-style slavery. Also, Anne Rice had a huge-ass doll collection and it was left to a museum in, for some reason, Pennsylvania! Read about it here!

SPOILER WARNING!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE WILL BE DISCUSSING MAJOR PLOTPOINTSWhen did vampires become tragically romantic figures? They certainly were not when Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. Bela Lugosi brought class to the character, but he did not make anyone swoon. Whether it was Hammer or Anne Rice, by the time Twilight stole hearts, vampires were sexy.Nosferatu is an interesting mix that handles the dark relationship between its two leads in a way that will surprise many. It combines what vampires once were with what they somehow became. At the same time, it can be seen as commentary. This is more than just another vampire movie.Horror is a wide ranging genre. There are creatures, all kinds of exploitation, and slashers, just to name a few. But there is something about gothic horror that stands out. A nostalgia and recognition that is impossible to ignore - at least for us. We discuss Robert Eggers and his approach to horror.What will be the legacy of the 2024 version of Nosferatu? Where will it stand next to The Witch and The Lighthouse? Has Eggers shown that there is another way to depict vampires? We discuss all this and more in our latest episode.

On this episode of Reading with Your Kids, we had the pleasure of chatting with two talented authors - Kendare Blake and Lynn Marie.  Kendare Blake is the New York Times bestselling author of the "Three Dark Crowns" series, and she's here to discuss the conclusion of her "Hero Maker Duology", titled "Warrior of Legend". Kendare shared how she loves to put her characters through challenging situations and see how they respond. She has a knack for creating complex, flawed female protagonists that readers can't help but root for.  Kendare also opened up about her own reading journey, from devouring Stephen King and Anne Rice novels as a teen to rediscovering them as an adult. She has such a passion for dark, imaginative storytelling, which she traces back to a formative experience with a spooky elementary school librarian.  Next, we chatted with Lynne Marie, the self-proclaimed "Picture Book Mechanic". Lynne shared how her own experiences growing up with sisters inspired her delightful new picture book "Broom Mates". She has a real gift for taking everyday sibling dynamics and infusing them with a magical, whimsical twist. Lynn also explained her unique approach to critiquing picture books. Rather than simply praising the work, she dives in to examine the mechanics - does the story engage young readers? Does it have a meaningful takeaway? She's not afraid to give tough feedback, because her goal is to help authors make their stories the best they can be. Whether you're a fan of YA fantasy, picture books, or just great storytelling in general, this episode of Reading with Your Kids is sure to inspire and delight. Kendare and Lynn are both incredible talents, and we can't wait to see what they create next!

So this month, we're talking about the women who give us goosebumps. Some are real-life creators of spine-chilling works of fiction. Others are the subjects of frightening folklore. Either way, these Scream Queens are sure to give you a scare. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

TW: Sexual assault, suspicions of murder, missing persons, short mention of abuse of an animal     Bonjour, Weirdos and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, conspiratorial & psychological, unsolved & unhinged and EVERYTHING in between.   This week we've got some OLD BUSINESS to attend to right off the bat because Ashley has an update from last episode on THE GATEWAY PROJECT!! Turns out... uh...  page 25 has not been missing for a few years now.  So we go over what that page entails and how it may just change the way you view the world forever.   Then Lauren takes us into a PARANORMAL PARADISE as we discover you don't need an old dilapidated mansion to live with ghosts-- sometimes apartments can be JUST as scary!  The haunting of Brooklyn's 455A Sackett Street is a strange and terrifying tale of what happens when a place is used for bad deeds for too long....   Ashley brings us home with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY and potentially even an unsolved murder, as we learn about a man named Louis Le Prince who disappeared without a trace only DAYS before he was to unveil the world's very first working moving picture machine.  The patent for the machine just so happened to disappear alongside him and a mere 8 months later a very famous inventor announced that HE had invented the world's very first moving picture machine... and boy did it look an awful lot like Le Prince's design......   Today's episode is dedicated to a lover of our show, a listener we lost on September 21st, 2023.  Susan Lee Bartlem, Lee to all who knew her well, passed away exactly a year to the DAY that we recorded this episode.  (which was an accident... but there are no accidents.)  Lee was a beloved teacher at Rockhampton Girls Grammar School in Queensland Australia for 23 years and she was a REAL WEIRDO.  Not only did they play Metallica and read Anne Rice at her funeral, but her family even got Keep It Weird tattoos in her honor.  It would have been a thrill to meet Lee in real life, on this astral plane, but she lives on forever in the hearts of her students, her friends and family, and with all of us who call ourselves weirdos with pride.   Check out some LINKS below if you want to do some further reading on today's strange tales.   Follow us on social media @keepitweirdcast LIKE our videos and SUBSCRIBE to our channel on YouTube at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast   JOIN OUR PATREON for bonus episodes every month, discounts on merch, a chance to sponsor a segment of our show AND FREE tarot readings.   That Darn Missing Page https://www.vice.com/en/article/found-page-25-of-the-cias-gateway-report-on-astral-projection/   Apartment from Hell https://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=172 https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/g22635979/real-life-haunted-house-stories/#   Missing Le Prince https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369702108701603   https://harpers.org/archive/2022/04/who-killed-louis-le-prince-on-the-forgotten-father-of-film/
