    Movies should not be longer than 90 minutes. Off-topic, I had to dump my vampire girlfriend because she sucked the life out of me.

  • Always entertaining!

    As a huge fan of vampire films, this is easily one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. These guys don’t miss. They’re always entertaining and they bring on wonderful guests to discuss all of the different films with them. The best compliment, imo, I can give is that even when I’m not familiar with or don’t like the film they’re talking about, I still totally enjoying listening to them discuss it. Truly a stellar show!
