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.

Dante Ferretti"Bellezza imperfetta"Io e PasoliniA cura di David MiliozziEdizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itDante Ferretti, tre premi Oscar, tra i più celebri scenografi al mondo, racconta il suo lungo sodalizio professionale e umano con Pier Paolo Pasolini, cominciato da giovanissimo sul set de Il Vangelo secondo Matteo e terminato il 2 novembre 1975, quando il cadavere martoriato del grande poeta e pensatore fu ritrovato all'idroscalo di Ostia. Ripercorrendo il lungo tratto di carriera che ha condiviso con Pasolini, l'autore ci mostra anche gli straordinari bozzetti delle scenografie che hanno dato forma all'immaginario filmico pasoliniano, confrontandoli con i fotogrammi degli stessi film.Consegnandoci un ritratto scanzonato e crepuscolare di un uomo che possedeva il raro dono di capire il suo tempo, insieme al sapore di un'epoca irripetibile del cinema italiano e internazionale (sfilano davanti ai nostri occhi Federico Fellini, Elio Petri, Maria Callas, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton e tanti altri), queste pagine ci rivelano il volto inedito di un artista immenso, capace, sul set e nella vita, di investire le persone che gli erano accanto di un'energia umana e intellettuale tanto potente da cambiarle per sempre.Dante Ferretti (Macerata, 1943) ha avuto una carriera strepitosa che iniziò, ventenne, proprio con Pier Paolo Pasolini, di cui fu aiuto scenografo per Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (1964), Uccellacci e uccellini (1966) e Edipo re (1967); con lui firmò la sua prima scenografia, Medea (1970), e da quel momento Pasolini lo volle al suo fianco fino al suo ultimo film, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975). Ferretti ha lavorato con i più importanti registi italiani – Luigi Comencini, Marco Bellocchio, Elio Petri, Liliana Cavani, Marco Ferreri, Ettore Scola, Franco Zeffirelli –, e in particolare con Federico Fellini, per cui è stato aiuto scenografo nel Fellini Satyricon del 1969 e scenografo in cinque film, fino all'ultima opera cinematografica del maestro riminese, La voce della Luna (1990). I geniali, visionari mondi da lui creati per Il nome della rosa (1986) e Le avventure del barone di Munchausen (1988), per cui ricevette la prima nomination all'Oscar, lo hanno reso celebre a Hollywood e nel mondo, dando avvio a un impressionante elenco di collaborazioni internazionali – tra gli altri, Terry Gilliam, Neil Jordan, Anthony Minghella, Brian De Palma, Martin Brest, Julie Taymor, Tim Burton, Kenneth Branagh – e alla speciale affinità creativa con Martin Scorsese, per cui ha firmato le scenografie di ben nove film da L'età dell'innocenza (1993) a Silence (2016). Per Pendragon è autore di Bellezza imperfetta.

The End of the Affair was released on Dec 3, 1999 in just 7 theaters so that it could bait some Oscars and then going wide on January 21. It would ultimately bring in just shy of 11 million dollars on 23 million dollar budget, though it did open with an astonishing $28,000 per screen average, so maybe a wider initial release would have been wise. The End of the Affair was the second 1999 film in 11 months (after January's psychological thriller In Dream) from auteur Neil Jordan, best known for 1992's Oscar winning film The Crying Game as well as 1994's Interview with the Vampire. It was also the second sweeping period romance in just a couple years for star Ralph Fiennes after The English Patient, leading to many critics and audiences drawing comparisons between the two films. It was also the one film for which 1999's busiest woman, Julianne Moore, was nominated for an Oscar, despite her equal performances in A Map of the World, An Ideal Husband, and Magnolia. Joining John and Julia to talk about this second (incredibly horny) adaptation of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair is film critic, writer, and podcaster Kristin Battestella (I Think Therefore I Review) Kristin is on Bluesky @thereforereview

Over a century after his death, Michael Collins remains one of Irish history's most iconic figures. Yet, his life and untimely death are still shrouded in myth and conspiracy.

Eamonn Owens plays the charismatic only child of a troubled 60's family, courting disaster in his struggle with identity. His desperate search for connection and purpose is wryly funny but is this Neil Jordan dark comedy too bleak, even with a Sinead O'Connor cameo? Come take a wee nip of goofy, chaotic wisdom and judge which brains you find agreeable.

Neil Jordan's 1984 gothic horror fairy tale The Company of Wolves is a heck of a tale about the creatures inside people and it's definitely worthy of the Monster Mondays treatment.

Show us your Pitts! Brad Pitt starred in two films based on books that are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, so "Pitt Fest" starts with a movie you can really sink your teeth into! Mark welcomes mistress of the dark Sabrina Santoro back on the show to discuss the November chiller Interview with the Vampire from Anne Rice and Neil Jordan for its 30th anniversary. This successful moody drama has Brad with long hair, Tom Cruise with blonde hair, and little Kirsten Dunst in tight curls making her breakthrough performance. And Cher was almost going to be in it?! We support gay vampires! 

Long before 'The Crying Game' and 'Interview With the Vampire', Neil Jordan made a splash with a dark, sumptuous retelling of Little Red Riding Hood based on Angela Carter's feminist interpretation of the text. It's been a cult classic ever since... but what is it saying about werewolves, and what is it saying about people for that matter? Time to dig in and find out!

Sit down, and I'll tell you a tale about a sad guy who gets bit by another guy, but it doesn't make him happy - just an undead hottie drinking rat juice until the second guy bites a little girl to solve their relationship problems and… you know, I should let the 1994 Anne Rice adaption INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE fill in the details!! That's right, we're celebrating this monumental gothic blockbuster for its 30th anniversary with the help of writer/actor Gregory Lay (Greg in LA)!! Along the way, we explore the nearly 20 years it took to get Interview on bookshelves, through the studio system, and onto the big screen, learn what Cher would have done with the Louie role, discover why Brad Pitt called the shoot, “Six months in f#^%ing darkness, and worship at the alters of Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst!!

Welcome back to another episode of Nattering With E. Today, Neil Jordan of @TheFalse9 returns to the Nattering Studios to discuss arguably the greatest Rap album in history, Illmatic by Nas. Released in 1994, Illmatic was the first album to have an All-Star production team ranging from Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, Large Professor, DJ Premier, and more heavyweights in the Rap community of the time. While breaking down the podcast, we also go on a few tangents about sports, some other albums fans should know about, and how the lyrics within each song on the album still apply to life today. Some say this is Nas's best album ever and he's been chasing that high ever since.

Michael and Jess talk about a couple of vampire movies from Mike Mignola's list of favorite horror movies. After revisiting The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), which we'd both previously seen and disliked, we try Neil Jordan's Byzantium (2012), starring Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton, to see if we like it any better.

Gay-ish vampires trying to raise a bloodsucking Kirsten Dunst was certainly not on anyone's 1994 Movie Bingo card, but Neil Jordan's take on Anne Rice's novel burst into theaters anyway. Yes, audiences gleefully sank their teeth into the gothic tale of horror, loneliness, and rat eating. But now, decades later, does this 2-hour tale kinda suck? Is Tom Cruise miscast? Is Brad Pitt? And what are the wardrobe options when one becomes a creature of the night? The Old Roommates revisit the gore and the glory of Interview with the Vampire.

This week, we continue Spooky Movie Month with vampires! Specifically, the 1994 Neil Jordan horror adaptation, Interview With a Vampire. We're talking Tom Cruise, Anne Rice, Louis' incessant whining, and the way Kirsten Dunst would be unfairly branded for years to come.

Is there anything scarier than a movie about a sad vampire? Yes, there most certainly is. Despite that, we watched Neil Jordan's "Interview With The Vampire" from 1994.In addition to discussing sad sack blood suckers, we also talk about: Rita's Italian Ice; sports streaming; Milli Vanilli; the similarities between baseball and vampirism; Count Chocula; and vampire worth interviewing!

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas present a special spooky treat in celebration of HorrOctober at The PCC, with Neil Jordan's adaptation of Anne Rice's queer-coded vampire novel, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. Join us, as we dive into vampire lore, powers, and the homoeroticism of Rice's Vampire Chronicles, as well as how weird the casting of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are in this film. Plus, there is lots of love to the insanely talented Kirsten Dunst, who at the age of 10 knocked it out of the park with her role as an ageing vampire trapped in a child's body. And for an added HorrOctober bonus, Jonathan took to the field, risking life and limb, to have an Interview with a Real Life Vampire. Don't miss the exclusive interview and all the usual shenanigans you've come to expect from this podcast...  "Don't be afraid. I'm going to give you the choice I never had."

Football season, what most people would call autumn, is here, and Tate serendipitously picked 1994's Interview with the Vampire starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, and Antonio Banderas. This episode also features a surprise, tune in to find out what it is! This movie was directed by Neil Jordan. GD4AM: 66/100 IMDb: 7.5/10 Metacritic: 62/100 Letterboxd: 3.6/5 RT: 63% A vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.

Coming of age story?  Sexual awakening?  Road trip movie?  These all characterize Alfonso Cuarón's tale of two young men and  one women whose lives intersect for a brief period one summer… kind of.  While this film displays a keen understanding of convention it constantly subverts expectations and values along and becomes something all the more charming, touching, challenging, and political at heart.  Two future superstars, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna alongside Maribel Verdu, propel this still iconoclastic film to a rare stature alongside the best of Mexican cinema.

Crawling out of the swamp to close out Season 3, Eric and Bradford are joined by Broadway actor-musician Matt Saldivar for a rollicking discussion of Neil Jordan's grand guignol ode to undying love. With a cast headed by Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt as comedy duo Lestat and Louis, interesting turns from Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas, Christian Slater, and Stephen Rea, Anne Rice adapting her novel, and great effects work by Stan Winston, there's enough baroque to ba-reak the bank... but is it, as one character says, "of the Mississippi"? An uneven tone, plot threads that go nowhere, and SO MUCH FIRE threaten to sink the #1 horror movie of 1994, but not even THIS podcast can keep a bloodthirsty creature of the night down.

Amnesiac by Neil Jordan - Salvatore of Lucan - RHA annual exhibition review

Featuring poetry, photos, paintings, short stories and tonnes of Hollywood A-Listers, Amnesiac is the new memoir by Oscar winning director and writer Neil Jordan.

Oscar-winning director, screenwriter and novelist Neil Jordan made his name with the 1984 movie The Company Of Wolves, adapted from an Angela Carter short story. His 1986 film Mona Lisa earned BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for its star Bob Hoskins. Jordan scored an even bigger critical and commercial hit worldwide with The Crying Game, which had six Academy Award nominations including best screenplay which was won by Neil Jordan himself. His 20 feature films made over 40 years also include an adaptation of Ann Rice's novel Interview With the Vampire, Irish revolutionary drama Michael Collins and The End Of The Affair, adapted from the Graham Greene novel. Neil Jordan talks to John Wilson about his upbringing in a Dublin suburb, the son of a school teacher father who encouraged an early love of storytelling. After working as a labourer, and in a Dublin theatre for a while, he met filmmaker John Boorman (Point Blank, Deliverance, The Emerald Forest) who, in 1980, was shooting his Arthurian legend film Excalibur at film studios in Ireland. Boorman invited Neil Jordan to direct a documentary about the making of Excalibur, an experience which started his filmmaking career. Jordan also chooses the 1943 Jean Genet novel Notre Dame des Fleurs - Our Lady Of The Flowers - as a formative influence on his screenwriting. He recalls the struggles to make The Crying Game and how the film's producer Harvey Weinstein objected to the inclusion of a trans character, a supporting role for which Jaye Davidson was nominated as best actor at the 1992 Academy Awards.Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive used: Clip from A Fistful of Dollars, Sergio Leone, 1964 Clip from Excalibur, John Boorman, 1981 Clip from The Crying Game, Neil Jordan, 1992 Neil Jordan accepts his Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, 1992 Clip from The Crying Game, Neil Jordan, 1992 Clip from Michael Collins, Neil Jordan, 1996

Happy Pride Month, Spookies!!!! It's officially time for us to be our best, most canonically queer selves, and we're kicking off this year's line-up with a supernatural classic: Interview with the Vampire (1994). If you're not watching the TV show, you totally should be, but first we have to pay our dues to the OG Lestat de Lioncourt. Tom Cruise is absolutely That Bitch in this role, and he and Brad Pitt and Christian Slater competed in a literal handsome-off for their parts in this movie (a competition that should've also included Antonio Banderas, BTW). While this flick explicitly features two gay dads raising their iconic vampire daughter, it still very much could be gayer — but don't worry, baby, because we're just getting started.

The category for June is New Orleans! Michelle picks first! Interview with the Vampire (1994) Written by Anne Rice Directed by Neil Jordan

Synopsis Based on the 1976 novel by Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles tells the autobiographical story of a Vampire named Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Brad Pitt) being turned and taught by the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise). They are just very good vampire friends and totally not gay.  After becoming a vampire, Louis discovers he has great powers, and uses them to have the poutiest mouth and become as emo as possible. He makes a lot of friends along the way, including Kirsten Dunst playing a pedo's dream, as well as Zorro. Review of Interview with the Vampire (1994) This is probably my favorite vampire movie, so I'm biased, but I still think it holds up. It focuses on the coolest part of the vampire stories, the vampires, and gets rid of the pesky humans. This is also probably one of my favorite roles of Tom Cruise. His playfulness and arrogance as Lestat carries the majority of the movie.  Kirsten Dunst also puts in one of the greatest performances of her career as a convincing forty year old in a child's body. Brad Pitt is the only one that upon rewatching becomes less interesting every reviewing. There's really nothing for him to do other than pout and look pretty. But granted, he does that very well here. What the film does best is maintain a vibe of sexy morbidness.  Seeing this in my youth, I was distracted by the boobs in this movie, and only now realize how extremely gay coded the film is. Louis's alternating between reveling in being a vampire and being shamed by it really represented what it must have felt like to be gay in the early 90s. The director Neil Jordan had just come off of directing The Crying Game and was really at the peak of his powers. Looking at his IMDB page, it's only been downhill from here.  Stan Winton's special effects and makeup is perfectly understated and makes the vampires seem otherworldly and the killings properly visceral. A lot of stars aligned with this film and I still think it stands the test of time. If you want to watch a bunch of sexy vampires almost kissing, this is the movie for you. Score 10/10

Neil Jordan's neo-noir romance about a jailbird driver, a high-priced escort, and the mob boss running everything is a bleak, sometimes-funny look at duplicity, delusion, and the seedy side of London.  Starring Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson, Michael Caine, Robbie Coltrane, and Clarke Peters. Written by Neil Jordan and David Leland, and directed by Neil Jordan.

There's a full moon in the video dungeon this week, Dumpster Dwellers! We're exploring Neil Jordan's gothic horror fairytale that doles out the life lessons and the hurdles of coming of age. Does The Company of Wolves get werewolf lore right? Get hitched to a traveling man who's eyebrows meet in the middle and let's see who's hairy on the inside or not!

Part I of II! My gay goth brother Travis Merriman guests on the show to gush blood over Neil Jordan's homoerotic vampire classic.

Cinematographer Declan Quinn (HAMILTON, LEAVING LAS VEGAS, MONSOON WEDDING) speaks with Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast. A first generation immigrant from Ireland, Declan first reflects on his youth bouncing between America and his family's home country. We then ruminate on Declan's decision to spend part of his early career in Ireland and on the function of pubs as watering holes wherein a young filmmaker could, back when Roger and Declan were starting out at least, find a community with which to celebrate and commiserate over work and life. Later, Declan shares his experiences working with directors Mike Figgis and Neil Jordan and on the myriad of other films he helped bring to life. Towards the end, Declan describes the process of Broadway captures and how he filmed HAMILTON at the height of its popularity with its original cast. - This episode is sponsored by Fiilex Instagram: @fiilexled

 This spooky season we decided to revisit a Movies That Made Us Gay classic and bring you a fresh take on the 1994 hit "Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles" directed by Neil Jordan.  Like Kirsten Dunst's Claudia we want some more! We love this movie so much we had to do a second episode. We talk about whether the AMC TV series has altered our opinions of the movie and if it comes across as "dated" now that we're closing in on 30 years. A discussion of Interview wouldn't be complete without a take on Tom Cruise and his handling of the character of the vampire Lestat and his dysfunctional relationship with Louis (Brad Pitt) and their "daughter" Claudia (Kirsten Dunst). What gay themes the film sometimes tip toes around in 94, the AMC show dives headfirst in today. Speaking of which, help us fan-cast our imaginary '90s Network Television Vampire Chronicles 3 night spectacular - RIcky Schroder as Lestat! We also double featured our revisit of Interview with immediately watching Queen of the Damned because were gluttons for punishment, so consider this our Queen of the Damned episode.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
