Dave is joined this week by Darryl from Hollywood North News for a packed episode covering the February BAFTAs, a tribute to the late Eric Dane, fresh show impressions, a report from the London Anime & Gaming Con, and a full run of UK and US TV news.Darryl brings early thoughts on Talamasca: The Secret Order, the new Netflix entry in the Anne Rice universe, and whether it works if you haven't seen the other shows. He's also been into Cross Season 2 on Prime Video and reports back on whether it lives up to the first. There are impressions from The Night Agent Season 3, and some thoughts on Ryan Murphy's The Beauty that may save you some time.Dave breaks down the February BAFTAs in full, including the biggest upset of the night in Best Leading Actor, why Marty Supreme's 0-from-11 night made history for the wrong reasons, and the moment involving Tourette's campaigner John Davidson that dominated post-show coverage — and why the BBC's handling of it was the real story.There's also a heartfelt tribute to Eric Dane, who passed away on 19th February 2026 at the age of 54 following his battle with ALS. Netflix has released his episode of Famous Last Words, and it's well worth your time.On the TV news front: UK cancellations, renewals including Can You Keep a Secret? and The Floor, an ABC renewal status update, Peter Krause eyeing a new NBC pilot, first-look photos for S.W.A.T.

Greg Alba and Roxy Striar return with their reaction and review of Season 1, Episode 4 of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, titled “The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding.” Based on Anne Rice's iconic novel, this episode marks a major turning point for the series as the introduction of Claudia permanently reshapes the twisted bond between Louis and Lestat. In this haunting chapter, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson, Game of Thrones, Broadchurch) and Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid, The Newsreader, Belle) grapple with the consequences of turning a plague-ravaged child into a vampire. Claudia (Bailey Bass, Avatar: The Way of Water, A House on the Bayou) quickly proves to be far more dangerous and emotionally volatile than either of them anticipated, unleashing a ruthless hunger that mirrors and magnifies Lestat's cruelty. The episode delivers unforgettable moments of gothic horror and dark irony, from Claudia's first kills to her chilling realization of her eternal imprisonment in a child's body. As Louis begins to see Claudia as both daughter and reflection of his own damnation, tensions escalate inside the immortal family, setting the stage for betrayal, resentment, and long-brewing revenge. We break down Claudia's terrifying arrival, Lestat's manipulative parenting, Louis' growing guilt and resistance, and why Episode 4 stands as one of the most disturbing and emotionally rich installments of the season so far.

Seduction. Vampires. Romance. Sounds like an Anne Rice movie. Drained is far from being just that… As a matter of fact, the movie is smart and alluring which makes this movie excellent. The film is exceedingly captivating. The character Rhea is fascinating and mysterious, and Madalina played the role extremely well. Romanticism will bite you in the neck! No pun intended, it's the truth because you cannot have romance without vampires. The elements are there, and Madalina broke them down in this interview. It was wonderful to speak to Madalina about her character in this not so typical movie about vampires. Although she was born less than a stones throw away outside Transylvania, she is the perfect rendition of a female vampire who is the predator, but who also has a tiny trickle of humanity within her. I highly recommend watching this movie if you want to get away from the usual, boring, repeated vampire plot. The tone and pace in this film is what you are looking for if you need to watch something different and Madalina delivers. Now available for steaming on Amazon Prime, Video, Tubi, Google TV, Apple TV, and YouTube.

Greg Alba & Roxy Striar react to Interview with the Vampire Season 1, Episode 1 — “In Throes of Increasing Wonder”, the haunting premiere of AMC's bold reimagining of Anne Rice's iconic gothic vampire saga. This opening episode reframes the classic story through a modern lens, blending lush atmosphere, psychological intimacy, and moral horror. The series begins in present-day Dubai, where journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian – Talk Radio, Succession) resumes his decades-later interview with the elegant yet deeply haunted vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson – Game of Thrones, Broadchurch). Louis recounts his human life in early 20th-century New Orleans, exploring themes of race, desire, faith, and isolation before his fateful encounter with the mesmerizing and terrifying Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid – The Newsreader, Lambs of God). Their first meeting, charged with seduction and menace, leads to one of the episode's most talked-about moments: Lestat's predatory courtship and the brutal, transformative act that binds Louis to immortality. Highly searched and standout moments from the premiere include Louis's emotional confessions during the interview, the opulent New Orleans nightlife sequences, Lestat's chilling introduction and philosophy on vampirism, and the shocking violence that seals Louis's fate. With its rich production design, daring reinterpretation, and magnetic performances, “In Throes of Increasing Wonder” establishes Interview with the Vampire as a bold, sensual, and tragic reinvention of Anne Rice's legendary world.

O Imagina Se Pega no Olho está de volta do recesso e abre a temporada 2026 do jeito mais tradicional possível: com o episódio dos melhores da cultura pop de 2025.No sexto ano no ar, Gabi Franco e Thiago Cardim recebem os amigos e padrinhos de casamento Livia Stevaux e Luis Buttes para uma conversa que passa por cinema, séries, quadrinhos, música e literatura, com direito a discordâncias, espadinhas e digressões absolutamente necessárias.Falamos de O Agente Secreto, Superman, Pecadores, Lady Gaga, Lily Allen, Garbage, Florence and The Machine, Helloween, gibis brasileiros, mangás, Stephen King, Anne Rice... além das decepções de 2025, das expectativas para 2026 e de temas recorrentes como metal, fantasia… e macacos (sempre eles).Um episódio longo, caótico e cheio de afeto — exatamente como deve ser a volta de um bom podcast.

Christopher and Eric are throwing a massive wrap party for one of the most exhausting and exhilarating years they've ever lived. No kidding. With ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION having been a glowing success in New Orleans on November 1st, and the sparkling film version now available for your free home viewing at AnneRice.com, they're taking time to celebrate some of the films, TV shows and books they didn't write in the previous year, but loved none the less. Care for a handsome British detective anyone? No doubt, several made the list.

Shall we begin like David Copperfield? "I am born…I grew up?" Or shall we begin about 120 years after Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire took place, with AMC's brilliant TV adaptation shifting the story from Louis de Pointe du Lac as a wealthy white plantation owner in the 1790s to one where Louis is a Black man in the 1910s working the red light district to keep his family fed? That's one of the many brilliant changes Rolin Jones and his writers have made to Rice's beloved book, and Paul, Arlo, and Eric couldn't be happier. The gang discusses why these changes fit so well in a series driven by its characters' perceptions of reality; the beautiful work by a cast including Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Eric Bogosian, Bailey Bass, Delainey Hayles, and Assad Zaman; and why, yes, this Interview is just better than the book.   NEXT: it's been a while since we've had a Four-Color Flashback, eh? Let's take back the night with J. Michael Straczynski and Gary Frank's Midnight Nation.

Ich spreche mit dem Japanlogen und Anglisten Christian Wilken über Unheimliches aus Übersee, über die literarische Gattung der American Gothic Fiction, zu der man u.a. E.A. Poe, Ray Bradbury, H.P. Lovecraft, Anne Rice und Stephen King zählt. Wann ist Christian zum ersten Mal dieser Art des Horrors begegnet? Wie ist sie überhaupt entstanden? Wir versuchen den Begriff des American Gothic und seine europäischen Wurzeln ein wenig nachzuzeichnen, sprechen über Halloween, Burgen und Gargoyles, über Religion und Natur sowie die Merkmale dieser Literatur wie das Irrationale, Labyrinthische, Unheimliche oder "karnivaleske Orte", die es z.B. auch in Ray Bradburys Geschichte "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (1962), die auf Deutsch als "Das Böse kommt auf leisen Sohlen" erschienen ist.

As AI technology gets bigger and bigger, so do data centers. Meta is building the largest data center in the world in a small Louisiana town. It'll have a footprint nearly the size of Manhattan, and the construction has brought an onslaught of heavy traffic.An investigation from the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins found that trucks contracted to work at the Meta facility are causing delays and dangerous roads for the people who live there.There are few writers as closely associated with New Orleans as Anne Rice. Born and raised in the Irish Channel, Rice was famous for her Gothic fiction, notably The Vampire Chronicles. Throughout her career, she never forgot her New Orleans upbringing and Catholic roots, which played major roles in her writings. She died in 2021Earlier this month, the Orpheum Theater honored her life with An All Saints Day Celebration. And the celebration will be broadcast worldwide this Thanksgiving on AnneRice.com. Anne's son, Christopher Rice, and friend, Eric Shaw Quinn, produced the event and documentary. They join us for more on Anne's life and legacy.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber. Our managing producer is Alana Schrieber.

In Jeffery Dahmer's Case, Anne Schwartz was the FIRST reporter inside his apartment in July 1991 - before crime scene tape, before the world knew his name, with only 2 police cars outside.

Despite rumors sparked by their separate appearances at the Wicked premiere, insiders confirm Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are still happily together and simply prefer to keep their relationship private. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner remain a couple, with sources denying breakup claims and emphasizing their shared desire to keep their two-and-a-half-year relationship out of the spotlight. Following her rumored split from Tom Cruise, Ana de Armas was spotted looking happy while shopping in Los Angeles with venture capitalist Marcelo Valente, marking her first public outing with a new man.

This week we watch a movie that takes several hundred episodes of the seminal gothic soap opera and condenses them to 90 brisk minutes of vampire melodrama in a way that is confusing and frustrating in ways that few movies are.Dark Shadows, for all its cheesiness and cheapness is one of the most important contributions to horror in the way that it added a dimension to vampire media that hadn't really been explored yet. Without Barnabas Collins you do not get Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. No Buffy The Vampire Slayer. No Vampire The Masquerade. In this episode we run it down in depth. Dave is a huge fan of the TV show and can't wait to tell you all about it and fill in the blanks where the movie fails because believe me, listeners, this movie fails big time.The wealthy Collins family receives a visit from long-lost cousin Barnabas but he conceals a terrible truth. He is a 200 year old vampire, freed from his prison of a hidden locked coffin by the Collins family handyman. He stalks the people of Collinsport by night and falls madly in love with the Collins family governess, Maggie, when she bears a striking resemblance the woman he once loved. It's basically Dracula but with a lot of really weird zigs and zags as it does its best encapsulate over one hundred hours of soap opera storytelling into a short feature film.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon:https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

He's Marius, a real piece of work! They're... it doesn't matter who they are because once they become too difficult for him to deal with he just makes another younger vampire to replace them. Yes, it's our annual Anne Rice-a-thon! This time we read Blood and Gold, a book which recaps almost every other Vampire Chronicles book including and of course especially Memnoch the Devil, the one we refuse to read. You will not break us, Anne. This seems to be the eighth book in the series and we're pretty sure she's writing them just for us at this point. If you haven't read any of the other books or listened to our episodes on them, this may not be the best starting point - this book was clearly written for the loreseekers. You gotta be up on a whole host of weirdoes for this one to make a lot of sense. I didn't even remember some of these jabronis! So, remember all the gross grooming business from The Vampire Armand? (Real grooming, the youth pastor kind.) It is far, far more distressing in this book because now you see it from Marius' perspective instead of Armand's, and it is so much worse. We found it actively distressing. Additionally, this is generally a book about an enraging sack of shit mansplainer. It has all the traditional Anne Rice mess turned up to 11 (although surprisingly she elides the "shit your pants" part of turning into a vampire in this one? Small blessings.) So, read and listen with care for yourself.  

The big weekend has arrived. Christopher and Eric are in New Orleans presenting ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION, a gorgeous tribute to our dearly departed Premiere Party Person, Anne Rice to #AnneFans who are lucky enough to be there in person.

So, if you couldn't make it to New Orleans for the celebration, you can celebrate at home with this special episode. And stay tuned for the free film version of our big event, which should post to AnneRice.com in just a few weeks!

Sink your teeth into our second tale of one of New Orleans' darkest vampire legends: the Carter Brothers. Dockworkers by day, blood-drinkers by night, these two anomalies still haunt the streets of the French Quarter, with their 1932 case of vampiric crime, courtroom drama, and mysterious vanishings that blurred the line between fact and folklore. From vanished bodies to mental health myths and Anne Rice parallels, this one's part history, part hysteria, and all haunt. Perfect part deaux for this spooky season!Edited by Maxwell Holechek

Hotel Transylvania (1978) is the first of 25 novels and two short story collections in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's epic vampire series centering around the adventures of the Comte de Saint-Germain. Steeped in the court intrigues of 1740s Paris, Kate and Jack will encounter headstrong virgins, wicked yet incompetent Satanists, and a rather surprising amount of swashbuckling action. Why didn't Saint-Germain achieve the same heights of popularity as Anne Rice's Lestat? How do you handle a bunch of couch-surfing alchemists? What the hell is romantasy, anyway? All these questions and more will be explored in this episode of the podcast.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, or simply Interview with the Vampire, is an American gothic horror television series developed by Rolin Jones for AMC, based on The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, named after the first book. Starring Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt, it begins with the vampire Louis recounting his past and tumultuous relationship with the vampire Lestat.The series embraces the queer elements of Rice's work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation, and deals with themes such as race and abuse. It is the first series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice's novels. A series order was made in June 2021, after AMC Networks purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing 18 of Rice's novels in 2020.The series premiered on October 2, 2022, with the first two seasons covering the events of the novel.The series was renewed for a third season in June 2024 and is slated to return in 2026 with the title The Vampire Lestat, covering the second book in the novel series. The series received positive reviews, with praise for its writing, costumes, soundtrack, production design, lead performances and their chemistry. It has received nominations at the Critics' Choice Television Awards and GLAAD Media Awards among others.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Craig Davidson has published five books of literary fiction, including RUST AND BONE, which was the inspiration for a Golden Globe–nominated feature film of the same name; the Scotiabank Giller Prize–nominated novel CATARACT CITY; and the novel THE SATURDAY NIGHT GHOST CLUB, which was a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize. He also writes horror fiction under the name Nick Cutter: THE TROOP, THE DEEP, LITTLE HEAVEN, THE HANDYMAN METHOD, and THE QUEEN, amongst others.

Our first October Timeless Terror movie honors the vampire!

Laci and Matt revisit Interview With The Vampire (1994), a movie the podcast covered back in 2018, in the Old Testament days. Much more care and attention is given this time, because there's so much to love… and so much to be confused by. Has a movie ever been dragged down so much by its whiny-baby lead character as this movie is by Louis (Brad Pitt)? Rather than spending eternity partying with his good buddy Lestat (Tom Cruise), he just putters around and around, moaning and complaining like some unholy combination of Charlie Brown and Eeyore. And rest assured, he will tell you, at length, about how conflicted he feels about the whole “vampire” thing. So get ready. Other than that, the movie's a blast. Tom Cruise is wonderful, Kirsten Dunst gives an all-time great kid performance, and the Stan Winston makeup can't be beat.

The countdown to ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION continues. Your hosts continue to celebrate the incredible authors who generously offered our Premiere Party Person, Lady Anne, their peer tributes for the event's emotional documentary films celebrating her life and legacy. J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood novels are a global phenomenon, and the basis for a hit new television series, but their author is also one of Christopher's closest friends. Find out what happens when she meets Eric for the first time and the two are allowed to compare Christopher notes. The result is a rousing conversation about the incredible impact Anne's novels had on the iconic writer who brought vampires into the realm of romance fiction.

On this episode we trace the vampire's long, shadowy journey, from 18th-century graveyard panics and Slavic strigoi to the seductive aristocrats of Gothic fiction and the conflicted immortals of modern pop culture. We also will go into how the  myth evolves on screen, from Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi to Anne Rice, Buffy, and beyond. We explore why the vampire keeps returning to embody everything we fear (and secretly crave): mortality, contagion, seduction, power, and immortality.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
