2002's Queen of the Damned: This is Terrible Movie but the Soundtrack Slaps

With Joann on vacation in London and new Australian listeners finding us for the first time, we thought it would be good to repromote our very first recap/react about Episode 1. Back next week with a brand new episode deep diving into IWTV Episode 3. Welcome to the unofficial podcast after show for AMC's Interview with the Vampire.  Join Joann, Marc, and Kristina as they react to the premier episode of AMC's Interview with the Vampire Series Episode 1 "In Throes of Increasing Wonder".  If you haven't watched the episode yet, and don't want to know what happens, beware because here be spoilers.  The vampire insiders are debuting their new format which will include discussions about the overall thrust of the episode, differences and similarities to the source material, stand out characters, character arcs as they are unfolding, and a couple of fun segments: easter egg of the week and body count.  Count on Joann to be sassy and controversial, Kristina to look for the academic why of things, and Marc to be...well...a lot.  We are grateful that you come to listen to us each week and if you do enjoy us please share us with a friend.

During the inter-season break from IWTV, the vampire insiders are having conversations about the immortal universe shows and creature-related subjects.  In this episode Erica Robert Pallo is back for the second of a two-parter where she goes deep with the hosts about Armand, Daniel, Armand and Daniel's book relationship and speculations about what the heck is going on with Armand, Daniel and Louis and why is this interview even happening. This is a lot of conjecture and if you haven't read the books, you'll learn a lot about the source material that the show's writers are working with. Queen of the Damned and Vampire Armand Spoilers included, so if you don't want to be spoiled come back next week. Thank you for coming to listen to us each week.  If you do like us, please share us with a friend!   About Erica Erica Robert Pallo is a writer, media producer, library assistant, and independent scholar who loves a good story. And sometimes she even writes a decent one. As a narrative media maker, Erica has a background in just about every damn position on a film set (even stunts!) and has taught the wonders of cinema to children, university students, and professional adults aspiring to see their stories come to life on screen. Erica’s nonfiction work spotlights unsung voices via ethnographic documentaries, digital archives, archaeological podcasts, and the preservation of women’s historical writing. Oh, and a sprinkle of food culture projects, just to keep things trendy.  Erica first read Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles as a budding young Punk Rocker that was still trapped in the body of a Catholic school girl. As a stage performer, visual artist, and passionate consumer of literature and pop culture, Erica had only her repressed fighting spirit to show for it. Then Lestat de Lioncourt and his merry band of bloodsuckers entered her life and away went her inhibitions, and her innocence. Thank God! Thank Anne Rice!
