During the break between seasons, the Vampire Insiders are working through Joann's tech issues and are taking a few weeks off, but will be back with all new content on October 30. We are re promoting some earlier episodes in the meantime. Here is what we said about this episode when it first aired almost a year ago.

In this episode the Vampire Insider team hosts Stephanie Fornasier, a licensed psychologist and host of Psychocinematic Podcast (available on all the major and minor podcast directories). Steph is applying her professional opinion to a discussion of the relationship dynamics between the main characters of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, what their individual psychological profiles may be, and whether or not the toxic relationship at the heart of this show is portrayed in a realistic way.  The VI team and Steph are approaching this subject with the understanding that these are fictional characters and vampires, so the discussion should be understood as a fun exercise, possibly informative, but not "real" diagnoses or an indictment of any of the characters.  Trigger warning: we do get into the subjects of sexual assault and domestic violence as they were portrayed in season one of the show. 

Please come follow us on social media.  @vampire_insider on twitter, vampire insider on facebook and reddit, and @vampire_insider_podcast on instagram and please check out Stephanie on Psychocinematic -- a podcast that examines the portrayal of mental illness, neurodivergence, and disability in film and television.
