Kimothy loves Lestat ,

Ashley & Joel - my new favorite para-friends

Richard E. Grant as David Talbot anyone?

Love the show so much!

Great podcast

I found this podcast after watching AMC's IWTV. I've really enjoyed the series and I've equally enjoyed this podcast. They are a lot of fun to listen to and have some good insight. I'm a fan! I'm still listening to their Mayfair recaps even though I'm not as vested in that series, but I like the podcast's recaps.

Nice podcast, but can you fact check?

Kirsten Dunst played Claudia when she was 10. There are quotes from her saying she was 10, so kissing Brad Pitt was weird for her. I am happy you guys like the TV show, but I think it’s a hot mess. Not really sure why it is diving into tropes like having the aged up Claudia…the actress is good but she’s 19 and looks 19, as opposed to Dunst at 10 playing a little younger. Was she aged up only to be sexual assaulted so she could know “have that darkness”. Ugh. What a slap in the face to rape survivors. Most of the changes to the books haven’t been great. A lot of it doesn’t make sense. It might have been easier and more horrific if the AHS crew did this and not make it a drama. I also wish Claudia in this series could have joined up with Killer and made a Fang Gang. Now it is just all about domestic violence and so much violence that I just stop caring. Why make Claudia a collector of body parts? Isn’t that raising eyebrows to the vampires in the community there? 56 bodies can just be explained away? So Lestat hasn’t been a rock star yet, even though the modern parts are set in 2022? The finger thing didn’t make sense either…just for violence’s sake, I guess? This would be a great show without violence. I also knocked this down one more star because it seems like the podcast is paid off in some way by AMC so is all the positivity real? Plus, I like the Mayfair Witches more! Maybe because I haven’t read the books. In the end, both shows are a bit ridiculous. Rice is probably rolling in her grave! Popping you up a star since I have been enjoying your agony! It’s weird you were ok with violence against women like Claudia in the AMC’s Interview but here, it’s bad. Confusing. But for the record I didn’t like TV’s Lestat as much as you.
