Bit (2019)

The year is 2004, cinematic universes haven’t been invented yet, and CGI is the new exciting tech on the scene. So why not make a fantasy action movie where Van Helsing teams up with Frankenstein’s monster to fight werewolves and defeat Dracula (and beat up Edward Hyde while he’s at it)? Well, it turns out there are many reasons, but on the bright side there are horses, corsets, opera singers on stilts, sunlight bombs, and three very fabulous brides to show us a good time! Listen to us get increasingly angry in our in-depth review of Stephen Sommers’ Van Helsing. Happy Halloween!

Perhaps the most controversial of all vampire tales, Twilight deserves its own hot-take extravaganza, and we’re here to deliver! Join us as we reveal our Twilight origin stories, our opinions on the original Stephenie Meyer novel, and most importantly, our play-by-play of the infamous 2008 film adaptation (directed by Catherine Hardwicke). Are the Cullens stuck in purgatory?

The episode that the CIA, the FBI, and Jim Carrey himself tried and failed to suppress! Join us as we review the highly offensive, highly mediocre '80s teen comedy Once Bitten (1985), featuring a very young Jim Carrey, a vampire MILF, goth flamingos, the longest castle chase in history, and a high school dance-off we can only describe as “not the worst part of the movie."

In our new, shorter format, we’ll fill you in on the history and background of this production, how Bela Lugosi got the part, why this movie essentially invented goth, why we all have a monster fetish, and what the heck those armadillos were doing in Dracula’s castle.
