The following podcast contains explicit language.

I'm Stephen MacHaff and this is the Slate Culture Gapfest Energy Vampire Edition.

It's Wednesday April 10th, 2019 on today's show, Diane, I can't hide it.

I won't hide it, I'm just going to say it is a remarkable film. I loved it.

A huge heart in a small and quiet package. Somehow, fine-boned and big-boned at once. I can't help, but I just love the movie. It was filled with

intelligence wit, empathy, humanness at the center of which is the simple, beautiful

truth of Mary Kaye plays in the title role. Julia are you laughing at my enthusiasms?

We don't need a segment anymore.

We're done.

Yeah, okay.

I love this movie.

I have a like tough thing.

I, if you don't like this movie, you're dead to me. No I'm so excited to talk about it I just usually may reserve it for the segment but I'm glad to have your preamble

All right all right the powder is wet. I can help it. And then what we do in the shadows is a vampire

sitcom on FX. And finally, Billy Eilish, Dana will explain to me why we're doing a segment

on this. She endorsed this singer and we got a lot of mail in response.

My kids listen to Billy Eilish. I like Billy Eilish, but still I'd like someone to offer a critical

perspective on it.

So we will discuss.

Joining me today is Daphyslates film critic,

Dana.

Hey Dana.
