​

Meet Darcy and Dee Dee, co-hosts and co-creators of the Vamps on the Verge Podcast! We are two mildly obsessive and highly distractible friends who bonded over our love of watching movies (and talking over them.) 

We’ve never really related to the characters in RomComs or Academy favorites so we’ve spent our lives pouring over obscure and forgotten genre films to find vamps, vixens, and women on the verge…

We love horror, Giallo, exploitation, camp, sci-fi, fantasy, underground, queer, art-house... all the way from high concept masterpieces down to the trash trash trash. ⁣

The golden rule is, there must be a leading woman. And whenever possible we want to see BIPOC and queer representation.

We won't be covering the usual cult classics on our show, as much as we love them, they’ve been covered. We're always looking for something forgotten, obscure, something that makes us say “Whaaaaat?!!" We hope this podcast will expose you to new movies too! ⁠⁠

We don’t just talk movies, we let movies lead us down the rabbit hole.

Join us for tangents on:


Bizarre interior decorating
Laughable fake tattoos
Hollywood cults
Childhood movie crushes!⁣
Background Characters that should star in their own movie
Wigs, wigs, wiggy wigs
Makeover sequences
~Romance hands~
Bad Sci-Fi
Fake psychology
Punks on film
Our fantasy wardrobes
Lines we can’t get out of our head
Catfights
Oscar-worthy freakouts
How Men on the internet really feel about these movies


For us, movies are an interactive experience and our Patreon fans have extra opportunities to follow us down the rabbit hole. Find us on Patreon at Vamps on the Verge to weigh in on what you want us to watch, vote up your favorites, and find out what we’re watching ahead of time so you can watch along!

AND find us on Instagram @vampsontheverge, where we’ll be posting all of our favorite movie stills.

So stay tuned for the launch of VOTV, where we over-analyze over-looked genre films and obsess over their leading women,

Coming June 2021!
