08 - An Anthropological Study of Cohabitating Vampires
Manage episode 408215790 series 3564160
This week, Pie and Lulu take a dive into two very different takes on vampires: the 2014 comedy-mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows and S.T. Gibson’s gothic novella A Dowry of Blood. We discuss comedic versus traditional interpretations of vampires, immortal roommate drama, and how human the heart of vampire stories can really be.
Other media mentioned:
- The Deep by Rivers Solomon
- How Long ‘til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin
- The Dig (2021)
- What We Do in the Shadows (TV show)
Content warnings: discussions of an abusive relationship and all the death/blood-drinking/murder that vampires entail.
