Hello and welcome. Hello and welcome to colors of the dark.

I'm your co-host Rebecca McKendry and with me,

Elric Kane, schools all-nosed out for summer.

I'm your subservient familiar, living in your shadow.

You're controlling my every whim that's pretty

I that's it that's where we are you're going to have to get some self-help classes man they call it

co-host but really everyone knows I'm the diminutive other the other I'm totally overbearing I get it

it's pretty rough it's pretty hard especially because I'm a timbearing. I get it. I get it. It's pretty rough. It's pretty hard,

especially because I'm a timid guy. Oh, yeah, that's it. When I look at you, I'm like,

oh my God, he's such an introvert. He's so, he's so just internalized. So, well, we went to see Renfield blasts to time has no meaning now. I don't, it's almost, school's almost out. So that's it. But we went to see Renfield sometime last week. And it was awesome. We had the best time there. It was a packed house. Everyone was howling. Absolute trip. So we really, really recommend you to go see this while it's in the theater.

We're going to be talking with the director of Case McKay in just a bit.

Yeah. I mean, look, you know, I'm just, Nick Cage is my favorite actor because Jack is

retired. So I get my second favorite becomes my favorite Nick, since I was pretty young.

And so it's always a, and you're always wonder, I wonder if he'll nail this or not, because it's always going to be a little bit of a mixed bag in a long career. And just he absolutely slays in this role. And it's so much fun. And it's so lovingly referential to a lot of different iterations of Dracula, which we'll get into later in our interview. It's just a super fun movie and it's, you know, hasn't performed like you would hope it would on opening week.

And so, you know, part of this is like, I really want to make sure people go see it and support it

because horror comedy is not the sure thing that people, you know, we see horror films often dominating, surprisingly at the box office, but horror comedy, it's a lot harder. And unfortunately, you know, given some of the competition this week, it didn't. And I wonder, Renfield, the word, means something to people like us. I wonder if, you know, people were calling it Dracula's assistant or saying maybe they would understand what it is better. But, but yeah, I just want people to see this in a theater because it was just so much fun. It's just, you know, I'm often looking for something that will also lighten the load of life. Because usually the movies I watch at home are all dark and crazy. But when I'm in a theater, it is still a really nice experience to be howling with laughter. Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

And no, I hear so often from horror fans, like, why don't we get the big crazy R-rated

Gore Fest like we got in the 80s?

And it's that they're big studio risks.

They are.

They're massive studio risks.
