Summary

On this week's episode of The Scream Squad, we close our January with a bite, diving into three films that explore characters who believe they are vampires. First up, Nicolas Cage's whacked out performance in Vampire's Kiss dives into mental illness, yuppie culture and male entitlement. Then, George Romero's personal favorite, Martin, explores isolation and the decline of American Industry with a strange boy who believe he is a vampire in a dying Pittsburgh. Finally, a cult classic, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, which takes a look at vampires and mental illness from a female perspective. Plus, if given the chance, would Jamie and Chico become immortal? Listen and find out!

0:00.0	What up squad?
0:23.9	Welcome to this episode of the Scream Squad.
0:26.9	This is your girl, Jamie Rigetti, the mother of direwolves, and I'm joined here in the dungeon, as always, by my awesome co-host.
0:34.0	Chico Leo in the house in the dungeon.
0:47.3	So this month, as you guys may know, we're doing a giveaway on our Patreon for the Underworld series, which of course is a vampire series. Then there's werewolves and all this good stuff.
0:49.3	But we thought maybe it would be fun to kind of touch on that theme for the main podcast and talk about vampires.
0:58.2	But because it's the Scream Squad, we kind of had to have a little something more to it than just vampires.
1:05.2	So we actually, our Chico here, thought of this really interesting idea.
1:09.1	What about vampire movies where, where chico how did you put
1:12.8	it are they or aren't they are they are they or aren't they yes well we put put together a list of
1:18.9	of movies that actually it's not clear if in fact the um the the the main character is in fact a vampire or not um and i think in uh well in in one of them
1:33.2	it's not the main character but in certainly in one of them the main character certainly thinks
1:38.7	that he is a vampire in another i guess uh i guess he also thinks that he is is a vampire and in the final one well it's not
1:48.4	clear whether or not the character or at least until the very end it's not clear whether the
1:52.9	character who might or might not be a vampire is a vampire or not and it's never explicitly
1:57.6	stated so you know there's the the vampire world itself, I feel like, or that genre could be split into so many weeks.
2:07.3	You know, you could have a vampire film podcast where it's a different theme of vampire film every week.
2:14.9	So this is just one little facet of vampire movies that we're going to talk
2:20.5	about tonight. Yeah, because I just feel like, you're right, I mean, there's just so many
2:25.5	different kinds of vampires. I think the kind of the use of vampires from the folklore roots
2:32.9	and, you know, its connections to the Black Plague, to the resurgence of vampires from the folklore roots and, you know, its connections to the black plague to
2:36.6	the resurgence of vampires when, you know, the AIDS crisis first kicked off.
