A polite knock. A perfect harmony. A smile that asks, not forces. That’s where this vampire story sinks its teeth: on the threshold where fear becomes a choice. We pick up part two of our centers breakdown and dig into why the smartest bloodsuckers don’t need to break doors—they make you open them. From the “let me in” dance to that unnerving song at the stoop, we map how social pressure, charm, and ritual turn hospitality into horror.

We unpack haints, folk beliefs, and the power of naming. Calling a thing “haint” or “vampire” shifts the playbook, and this story plays the gray zone well. The crew’s confidence flips genre expectations, dialing down jump scares and dialing up moral tension. When your protagonists keep their cool, the threat has to evolve—so it does, mocking the sinner’s prayer, reciting scripture like a dare, and performing piety as a weapon. That choice reframes faith and fear as contested symbols, not automatic protections.

We also weigh hive minds, corrupted souls, and charisma-driven evil. Is the group truly linked, or is one will simply louder, bending others toward harm in the name of belonging? That lens explains why the villain wants a voice more than blood—humanity as an instrument is the prize. Along the way, we connect the dots across vampire canon—Underworld, Blade, Van Helsing, 30 Days of Night—and talk true forms, Nosferatu echoes, and why this movie’s scariest moment is still the courteous, rhythmic ask to come inside.

If you love smart horror, folklore, and rule-tight storytelling, you’ll want to jump in. Hit play, then tell us: which vampire rule would you keep, change, or kill? Subscribe, share with a friend who loves creature features, and leave a review so more horror fans can find us. Stay alive.

SPEAKER_01 (00:24):
Hello, survivors, and welcome back to another
episode of Will You Survive thePodcast.
This is part two of our centersepisode.
If you have not seen part one,go listen to that now.
It's a pretty good one.
And yeah, let's get right intothe episode, baby.

SPEAKER_03 (00:40):
But were they?

SPEAKER_01 (00:41):
Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (00:42):
Because I think it was just a bluff.
I think it would it did exactlywhat he was hoping it would do.
Yeah.
It would make her freak out andlet them make it.
I feel like it was a half bluff.

SPEAKER_01 (00:52):
Like I don't doubt it that he would go into town
and get more and then come back.

SPEAKER_02 (00:56):
I mean, they they would have done it, and then how
vicious would that have been tomake her daughter come back and
have her see her like that?

SPEAKER_01 (01:04):
Yeah.
I mean, she already got herfucking husband taken, so they
were all right there.

SPEAKER_03 (01:09):
So I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (01:10):
I didn't get the impression that they literally
would have been fine if theyjust didn't invite them in.

SPEAKER_03 (01:17):
Yeah, well, I so I think the whole point of like my
whole thought was like there wasa much better way to handle
this.
You have a very unique advantagehere in that they can't come in
without you letting them in.
And I I think it it's it wasreally great that the vampire
was playing such psychologicalwarfare on them to try and get

(01:40):
them to let him in.
Because at first, you know, Iwas thinking like, well, they
said no, now what?
You know, now what do you do?
But then he kept amping it upand doing more things.
I'm like, oh, that's kind ofwhere I got like the detail.
I also need a spin-off for theNative Americans.
Manipulative as hell.
Like, I uh completely understandthat.
Um so I I just think that was areally nice touch because I

(02:02):
think that is kind of more ofthe essence of what a vampire
is.
Like a manipulator.

SPEAKER_01 (02:08):
Dude, native Native American vampire hunters would
be a dope ass fucking movie.

SPEAKER_03 (02:12):
They did Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

SPEAKER_01 (02:14):
Don't don't fucking bring that shit up.

SPEAKER_03 (02:16):
Incredible.

SPEAKER_01 (02:18):
How dare you bring this up in a house of worship?

SPEAKER_02 (02:23):
I love that.
How do you not like that movie?

SPEAKER_01 (02:26):
I actually have not seen it since it came out, so I
don't know.
I don't even remember shit aboutit.

SPEAKER_03 (02:31):
I wasn't actually kidding.
I actually do like that movie.
I don't think it's like anincredible, amazing movie, but
it's campy.

SPEAKER_02 (02:37):
It's like um Is it even campy?
It's over-exaggerated.

SPEAKER_03 (02:41):
Um well, yeah.
Did you uh so I don't think AbeLincoln was actually a vampire
hunter?

SPEAKER_02 (02:48):
No, no, but everything that they did was all
over-exaggerated.
It was the vampire tropes wereover-exaggerated.
It wasn't as um authentic asthis movie, even though this
movie really did sidestep thehorror genre by being so funny
all the time, and of course,having uh characters who didn't

(03:08):
seem to really be afraid at anypoint of their enemies, like
they were ready to to charge in.
Anytime your protagonist isunafraid, you're gonna be
unafraid.

SPEAKER_01 (03:19):
Yeah, do you see how quick he blasted fucking
cornbread's face off?
Dude, with the quickness.
Also, cornbread with his I youknow, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 (03:30):
I think it's kind of it's a kind of unique situation
when when like a character, whenyour main protagonist is super
confident and and kind of abadass.
It's just like the way I thinkabout it is like uh you know,
the heart of the fall, right?
So that's kind of my thought.
It's like, you know, whenthey're showing that side of
them, like, well, you're showingme this for a reason, you're

(03:52):
gonna contrast this withsomething.
Obviously, something's gonnahappen.
And so in the end, you know, mmost of the time in movies,
you're like, oh my god, is themain character gonna die?
And then you're like, well, ofcourse the main character's not
gonna die.

SPEAKER_01 (04:03):
Technically, both the main characters are dead.

SPEAKER_03 (04:05):
Yeah, so that's why I'm like it they they really do
an interesting way of doing it.

SPEAKER_01 (04:09):
Um they would have been cooked if Annie wasn't
there.

SPEAKER_03 (04:11):
Yeah, okay.
That was something I wanted tobring up.
I love that they knew what avampire was.

SPEAKER_01 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (04:17):
They stay clear of the zombie trope of like the
these uh these they're like deadwalking Z and like what zombies.

SPEAKER_01 (04:26):
Like in uh we just watched Sean of the Dead.
Don't say that.
The Z word.
We're not saying that word,don't say the Z word.

SPEAKER_03 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, like that it's crazy to me that like
uh World War Z is I think one ofone of the mention it in the
movie when they're like uh onememo floated the word zombie,
and that's all they reallymentioned of it in uh and then
the soldier yelled at him.

SPEAKER_02 (04:52):
It wasn't a memo so much for paying attention, it
was an email.

SPEAKER_01 (04:55):
Careful, there are a bunch of bonks outside, dude.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (04:58):
So one of the aspects of these vampires is
see, because didn't Annie thinkit was something else?

SPEAKER_01 (05:05):
So Annie thought that it was a haint.
Yeah, hanks?
A haint is like kind of like afrom what I understand, it's
like a spirit, but like evil.
It's kind of made from people'slike bad thoughts, I think.

SPEAKER_03 (05:20):
Was she they they kept calling her the AIN WHAT?

SPEAKER_01 (05:24):
Yeah.
So in New Orleans, they painttheir uh porches.
Fun fact, they paint theirporches a certain color to keep
haints away.

SPEAKER_02 (05:32):
So it's restless spirits trapped between the
living world and the afterlife.
Yeah, and they're restless, alsoknown as a restless entity that
lingers to haunt the living.
That's their sole purpose.

SPEAKER_03 (05:44):
Yeah, I love that she clocked right away.
She's like, You're something assoon as as soon as I saw the
guy, uh Ramick fly towards Mary,I I knew she was infected right
away.
I knew she didn't get away.
And then when she walked up, Iclocked right.
Right away that she didn't justwalk in.
She asked.
Yeah, well, just how subtly sheasked to be let in.

(06:06):
And at first you're like, oh,you could totally see this being
like kind of very yeah, verycasual, and like you wouldn't
really think anything of it.
And then you saw um who was it?
Uh who is the bouncer?
Cornbread.
Well, where cornbread was notno, he wasn't slick with it.

SPEAKER_01 (06:24):
She was slick.
She was like, So you're gonna gomove your big ass so I can get
in?
He was like, Oh yeah, sure, getin.

SPEAKER_03 (06:30):
Yeah, and he was like, Oh yeah, yeah, go go on
in.
Go but yeah, he wasn't so spoon,yeah.
All right, just just let me inand and let me have it.

SPEAKER_01 (06:38):
Like, let me in so we can do what we need to do.
It's like, what do we need todo?

SPEAKER_03 (06:42):
Why do I gotta let you in?

SPEAKER_01 (06:44):
Yeah, you've been coming in here all damn night.
Why do you need let in now?

SPEAKER_03 (06:48):
I clocked, I clocked immediately.
I I heard it with Mary rightaway.
I was like, uh and that's whenlike I said, I knew it was about
vampires.
I just didn't know who wasvampires yet.
I at this point I knew Rami andthose three were, but pick poor
robin clock.
Right away, I clocked the wholerobin cloud.

SPEAKER_02 (07:07):
So there's another point.
See, the song that song had suchdifferent meaning when they were
asking to come in and after.
Holy moly.
I I mean, I knew that they werevampires, and it was creepy, but
the way that they were singing,you have to admit there was
something different from beforeand after.

SPEAKER_01 (07:28):
Dude.
That was such a fucking viciousslight songs.

SPEAKER_03 (07:32):
I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01 (07:33):
Them dancing was kinda is wild.
I feel like that would freak methe fuck out.
They're over here having anIrish jig outside.

SPEAKER_03 (07:40):
I'm not gonna lie, it was bang.

SPEAKER_02 (07:42):
It was so the other thing was how uh I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say God, this is sosubjective, it's hard to say
this right.
How accurate that thesecorrupted souls would repeat the
sinner's prayer as he's sayingthe prayer, and they all just

(08:03):
start saying it.

SPEAKER_03 (08:04):
Yeah, which I I again, that mental manipulation
is like so demonic to to mockthe God's word right back to
you.
And I I knew I kind of I wantedto talk to you about this, but I
kind of figure like Satan evenspoke uh or cited the Bible.
He quoted scripture to Jesus, hequoted scripture, so it's not

(08:25):
like it we him saying it or thewords being sane are gonna burst
him into flames and and send himaway.

SPEAKER_02 (08:31):
It's not very compelling opinion.

SPEAKER_03 (08:33):
Is it does the power of Christ compel me?
It's not very compelling.

SPEAKER_02 (08:37):
It's the uh you can't see that I'm smiling under
here.

SPEAKER_03 (08:41):
I love that movie.

SPEAKER_02 (08:41):
I guess I'm always smiling.
Um something that iscontroversial to a lot of people
who don't know is uh churcheseverywhere are full of demons.
Yeah, that's where they're goingto be hanging out.

SPEAKER_03 (08:54):
Even in the even in the Bible, they were in this
Jesus had to cast out uh peoplefrom the temple because they
were fucking evil.

SPEAKER_01 (09:02):
But that was if you just put twenty more dollars in
that collection plate.
Uh this bently up on stage, it'sfor all of us.
Can I drive it?
No, God wouldn't want that.
God wouldn't want that.
I've just seen a that video dudesaying that.

(09:23):
I gotta send it to you.
That's so funny.

SPEAKER_03 (09:25):
That's so funny.

SPEAKER_02 (09:26):
God wouldn't want this Bentley to corrupt your
soul.

SPEAKER_01 (09:29):
He has like chains and shit on it.

SPEAKER_02 (09:32):
The way that the way that they did that, it was so
impressive.
I'm I I really blew my mind atthe total corruption, which once
again, this this in my headvalidates Maddie's perspective
and her point.
It's a corrupted soul, it's nota departed soul, it's not an
empty husk.

(09:53):
It has to be a corrupted soul.
That makes so much sense.
Which I believe they do.
I know that they went heavily onthe my the hive mind, but see,

(10:16):
after they accomplish their goalin this particular scenario, my
bet is that they go off on theirown.
They don't they don't staytogether like that.

SPEAKER_03 (10:26):
Well, so here's where I can I can maybe bolster
your guys' aside, and what Ithink is ultimately right, but
uh I think what bolsters it isthat you know how there's
certain personalities in peoplethat are just very powerful and
very persuasive.

SPEAKER_00 (10:44):
Yep.

SPEAKER_03 (10:44):
Um and sometimes it could be just so much emotion
that it kind of overwhelms youand you start to kind of believe
certain things that you mightnot otherwise believe.

SPEAKER_00 (10:53):
Yep.

SPEAKER_03 (10:54):
Um I I wonder if it was kind of that if they are all
hive-minded, that maybe hiswill, his um his rationale, his
thinking is so pervasive and andpersuasive that he's able to
kind of convince all thesepeople to act very violent and
maliciously towards people thatthey love.

(11:16):
Yeah, all uh uh in like thisguise of oh, it's for their own
good.

SPEAKER_02 (11:22):
I I I definitely think so.
I think that could be that couldvery well be uh one of the
perspectives of it is I keepwanting to say carnality, but
that's not the word I'm lookingfor, not carnivorous, uh, but
it's just such such hatred.
It's so vile and it like defiesall all humanity.

(11:44):
There's no humanity there.
That's what I say.
A zombie is a human without asoul, without and a human
without a soul is remorseless,without forgiveness, without
compassion, without anyrestraint.
I mean, you think of the sevendeadly sins in the Bible, right?
Take somebody, any person, andhave them exhibit pure animal

(12:08):
tendencies, and you got a zombieeating, feeding off of it
doesn't even have to be literaleating, right?
Just just feeding off of otherswith no restraint and no,
there's no filling this person,they're not capable.
And we see it, you look aroundin the world, the the worst
people that have ever existedare those things, even though

(12:29):
they're not necessarily emptyhusks, they are more like this,
they're more like corruptedsouls than they are an empty
husk.
But if you look at every zombiemovie with all of the tropes,
that's what an empty husk wouldlook like.

SPEAKER_01 (12:41):
This is different.
Ramick was after moreintelligent, you know, there's
all the lack of humanity on hispart.
He's after like the humanity,he's after fucking Preacher
Boy's voice, his ability tobring that humanity because he
misses his people.

SPEAKER_03 (12:56):
Yeah, I I mean it so when I first put on this movie,
I I told myself I was like,okay, I have to do other things
while I while I start thismovie, but I'm gonna pay
attention.
Immediately, the the womanstarted talking in the
beginning, the narrator, twowords in, I immediately zoned
out, like 50 seconds later.
I'm like, fuck.
So I had to rewind, and I waslike, okay, I'm gonna pay

(13:19):
attention now.
And then I immediately gotdistracted, and I had to
re-watch that opening like seventimes to finally hear what she
said.

SPEAKER_01 (13:27):
It's it's semi-important.
They do really reiterate it whenhe's uh he's singing.

SPEAKER_00 (13:32):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (13:38):
So something that you were saying right now, uh,
and just this past comment gotme thinking the lore goes so
deep that there were other typesof vampires.
Uh, for instance, there was amovie made in 2002 starring
Aaliyah called Queen of theDamned that portrayed the Queen
Akasha, who made Lestat herking.

(13:59):
Lestat was another well-knownvampire for a long time, and she
was so bloodthirsty that sheeven fed on other vampires.
Now, they always make thesethese movies like this where the
vampires somehow made a trucewith mankind.
I don't know who, where, what,when, why, how.

(14:20):
It it doesn't really make sensewhen you think of who they are.
Why would they make some truce?

SPEAKER_03 (14:25):
Unless, like, maybe there's ulterior motives to it.

SPEAKER_02 (14:28):
Well, then you go even into Van Helsing, right?
And Van Helsing, the one with umHugh Jackman, he goes into
Transylvania, uh, Romania, andkills one of the brides of
Dracula, and they were pissed,right?
They were like, We've only everkilled what we needed to feed.

(14:49):
And that's what even thevillagers were pissed off at Van
Helsing for killing a bride,because it was like, now they're
gonna come with vengeance.
You know, they've only takenwhat they needed to eat to live,
and which is kind of a weird wayto say that, right?
What they needed to subsist, andnow they're gonna come for
revenge, and it's it was true,but that's like an interesting

(15:10):
perspective all on its own inthe vampire trope that you don't
know which one is which.
I would think that uh which onewas the vampire stack.
I would think that stack waskind of in this realm, and to
follow that lore, you would gothrough some of the movies like
um Underworld.

SPEAKER_03 (15:30):
That's the one I kept thinking of.

SPEAKER_02 (15:32):
Which they were more they were more free thinking
than they were, but they allstill had that same hive mind.
Blade two.
Blade two.
They all had some kind of a hivemind where they it was almost
not even hive mind-ish.
This was more hive mind,clearly.
But in Blade and Underworld,they didn't necessarily feel

(15:54):
each other's pain, except forwhen you got to blade three,
they literally did.
It was the one who turned them,would uh actually, how did they
do it?
How did they do it?
They injected they injectedDracula, who they called Drake,
with a with a virus, and thevirus, the virus, because of his

(16:16):
pure blood, was able to spreadto all of the other vampires in
his area.
So they broke from the mold thatif you kill the daddy of all of
the vampires, they all die.
It was pretty close, but notexact.
And they even mention uh BramStoker's Dracula in that movie
quite a lot.

SPEAKER_03 (16:35):
I could rewatch those movies.
I haven't seen those in a reallylong time.

SPEAKER_02 (16:38):
That's I mean, it's funny that that TJ picked this
one because I just watched uhBlade 3, uh Van Helsing, um
Underworld, which is alwaysgreat to watch.

SPEAKER_03 (16:50):
I think the strain has a very interesting take on
vampires.

SPEAKER_02 (16:53):
That's a TV show, right?

SPEAKER_03 (16:55):
Yeah, and a book.
It's more of a it's more of amonster than uh like it emphasis
on the creature.

SPEAKER_02 (17:04):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (17:04):
We uh what's it?
We also haven't even mentionedfucking Remick's true form once
he gets hit with the guitar withthe long fingers and shit and
his fucking rows of teeth thatgo back.
I wonder what if if he can liketransform into like a man bat.
I feel like that's where that'sheading.
That's interesting.
I feel like he could turn manbat.

SPEAKER_03 (17:24):
That look that he had felt very vampire-esque.
Like that's what I imagine.
That's very like Nosferatu type,like hideous.
Yeah, I imagine like monster.

SPEAKER_02 (17:34):
Well, that's where that's where the the movie Van
Helsing did a good job becausewhen Dracula transformed, he was
a monster.
He was like a giant man bat.
Which now I I really want to goback and read those books
because all of the movies leadto the same ending where the
werewolf was the ultimate weaponagainst Dracula, which was why

(17:57):
he enslaved them all of thetime.

SPEAKER_03 (17:59):
Tale as old as time.

SPEAKER_02 (18:04):
That's a weird one.

SPEAKER_03 (18:05):
And we're talking about like vampires and beauty
and the beast.

SPEAKER_02 (18:10):
Which one's the beauty?
Remek.

SPEAKER_03 (18:11):
Vampire, hey.

SPEAKER_02 (18:13):
Interesting.
And then Beast, werewolf.
Oh, he really did.

SPEAKER_03 (18:18):
Yeah, that's kind of like a whole trope of the
vampires that they're superseducing and enticing.

SPEAKER_02 (18:23):
No, Remek was like in Twilight.

SPEAKER_01 (18:26):
She ended up fucking that one.

SPEAKER_02 (18:27):
He was crazy.
How he stands there with thatsmile.

SPEAKER_03 (18:30):
That was I'm not gonna lie, that first song that
they played at the door, fuck, Idon't let him.

SPEAKER_01 (18:35):
Yeah, no, you'd see fucking uh stack.
He was like bobbing his head.

SPEAKER_03 (18:40):
Yeah, smoke was wiser and was like, no, get out
of here.
Because he he had it for otherreasons where he was like, What?
They don't have a problem now,but let's say they do have a
problem, then then these threewhite people have a problem in a
black establishment.

SPEAKER_02 (18:53):
Somebody steps on their foot.
That was brilliant reasoning.

SPEAKER_03 (18:57):
No, we're not gonna fucking risk that.
There's no point to that.
When he said that, I'm like,that makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 (19:02):
Did Remedy when uh he was like, you know, let us
in, whatever.
And they're like, oh fuck you.
And then he's like, Well, how'dshe get in?

SPEAKER_03 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And look, I'm not gonna lie, Ifeel like that wasn't even
manipulation.
I felt like he was just like, Iwas like, What the fuck, dude?
Is it just me?
Put the vampire shit aside.
What the fuck?

SPEAKER_02 (19:25):
WTF dog.
Which I think that was prettyfunny.

SPEAKER_03 (19:30):
I also like how Annie stepped in and was like,
she's family.

SPEAKER_01 (19:33):
Yeah, Mary Mary Mary's uh character.
That's uh actual thing.
It's the one drop rule.
As long as you got one drop ofblackness in you, you're
considered black.

SPEAKER_03 (19:46):
True.
So that's that's why he wantedto uh twenty one in me, it's
gonna make everybody black.

SPEAKER_01 (19:51):
That's why uh stack wanted to keep her away.
He was like, I got you a nicewhite husband and some fucking
land or whatever, go back to ourfucking.
Arkansas because she's in she'sin danger.
Like if anybody knows that.

SPEAKER_02 (20:04):
No, that's the uh that's the ultimate uh white
supremacist rule.
Anybody you have any drop, onedrop, you're black.
That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 (20:13):
One drop, you're white.

SPEAKER_02 (20:15):
People like Officer Tatum say I'm biracial, my kids
are biracial, not him, not him.
His kids are biracial, and theyget mad at him.
Like, no, you're black.
He goes, That that comes fromwhite supremacy.

SPEAKER_01 (20:27):
Also, don't call me fucking biracial.
Say mixed.
I'm not fucking logical.
You're bi.
You're bi.
Did I mention I'm biracial?

SPEAKER_03 (20:36):
Wait.
What if what if you that'd be sofunny if we just started calling
biracial people bi?

SPEAKER_02 (20:41):
I'm not gonna call you biracial.
I'm just gonna call you bi fromnow on.

SPEAKER_03 (20:44):
That'd be so funny.
But yeah, logic really doesmention that in like every other
and his dad's like half.

SPEAKER_01 (20:49):
Motherfucker ain't biracial.
He's like he's he's like trira.
Yeah, triracial.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (20:56):
That was like that's the true meaning of mixed.
Bro's quasi-racial.

SPEAKER_01 (21:01):
Quasi-racial.
That's a band name.
Quasimoto.
There you go.
We are quasi-racial.

SPEAKER_03 (21:08):
One, two, three, four.
Literally in one of his songs,Logic goes, did I mention I'm
mixed like Obama?

SPEAKER_01 (21:14):
He's not.
So okay, but he's half of Obama.

SPEAKER_02 (21:17):
But here hear me out.
Hear me out.
You and Eric and anybody elsestarts the band quasi-racial,
and the first song you come outplaying has to be uh Duhast by
Rammstein.
That would be the greatestopening.
Oh my god, you don't knowRammstein?

SPEAKER_03 (21:39):
You just said the craziest mix of songs.

SPEAKER_02 (21:43):
Yeah, he I can't believe you guys don't know
that.

SPEAKER_01 (22:13):
I'm trying to think of any more last minute things
about this movie that I canthink of.

SPEAKER_03 (22:18):
I think it was overall a really, really good
one.

SPEAKER_01 (22:21):
Sad about a really great one from the sad about
Smoke's daughter dying, littlebaby, but he got to be with her
and um he did die after he tookoff his you know whatever mojo
bag.

SPEAKER_02 (22:34):
Um clearly he wanted to.

SPEAKER_01 (22:36):
Yeah, so he he definitely wanted to, he
definitely did die.

SPEAKER_02 (22:39):
Um oh clearly he believed in the power of the
mojo bag.

SPEAKER_01 (22:43):
What's his name?
Uh Preacher Boy, he's based offof uh Buddy.
He's based off of a musician.

SPEAKER_03 (22:49):

dude.

SPEAKER_03 (22:53):

SPEAKER_01 (22:55):

SPEAKER_03 (22:55):
Yeah, I think it's Buddy Guy.

SPEAKER_01 (22:58):
You know, was he the old guy?
Yeah, you know he was gettingbitches with that scar.
That was kind of that was a coolass scar, dude.
Every dude wants that kind ofscar.

SPEAKER_02 (23:07):
That was a gnarly scar.

SPEAKER_03 (23:10):
Yeah, buddy guy.

SPEAKER_01 (23:12):
Shout out Buddy Guy, shout out Ryan Cooler for making
this movie.
It was great.
Shout out Ludwig Gorenson for uhdoing the music for this movie.
Shout out to Preacher Boy'sactor.

Can't remember his name.
He's an actual artist.
Um, he did not know how to playguitar.

SPEAKER_03 (23:29):
Born in 1936.

SPEAKER_01 (23:31):
Dang.
Nice.

SPEAKER_02 (23:32):
So I wanted to come in really hot, sounding like I I
hated this movie, but I didn'tgive it enough thought.
So that's why I like it.

SPEAKER_01 (23:40):
Listen, I I like I like talking about movies that
we like this good.

SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
This is a good, this is a really good movie.
I'm so glad I got to do thismovie.

SPEAKER_01 (23:48):
I'm fucking it's I've been wanting to do it, and
then I'm just like, no, weshould do a different movie.

SPEAKER_02 (23:53):
I'm a fan.
I'm a fan.

SPEAKER_01 (23:55):
But you know, we did uh what's it called?
28 years later or whatever thefuck.
So that was a new movie.

SPEAKER_02 (24:04):
Should we be um oh sorry why it was so loud.
I was like, I've never heard itthat loud before.

SPEAKER_03 (24:12):
No, a train decided to pass and it is like, what are
you honking at?

SPEAKER_01 (24:17):
You're on a track.
There's nothing in front of you.

SPEAKER_03 (24:19):
Yeah, what are you surprised?

SPEAKER_01 (24:22):
What did somebody swerve in front of you?
Just run the homeless peopleover.

SPEAKER_02 (24:27):
The homeless are climbing onto the tracks.

SPEAKER_01 (24:29):
No, they're move your tents.
They're on the train.

SPEAKER_02 (24:32):
So the um what is the what is the other like my I
think the closest thing to thisI would probably say would be 30
days of night.
Just pure viciousness, purecorrupted monsters.
I I think that's the closestthing.

SPEAKER_03 (24:51):
Who was the the old dude again?
Was it Slim?

SPEAKER_01 (24:54):
Yeah.
The old dude.
The alcoholic motherfucker.

SPEAKER_03 (24:58):
Yeah, they did him dirty.

SPEAKER_02 (25:00):
Yeah.
Didn't he die being for theholographic?
Like he jumped up there and hewas like, Oh yeah!

SPEAKER_03 (25:06):
And he he cut his his arm vertically.

SPEAKER_01 (25:09):
Josh says there are roughly 67 different distinct
types of vampires worldwide.
Nice, that's crazy.
That's a crazy amount ofvampires.
And one of those is the I amlegend vampires.
The Dawn Walkers.

SPEAKER_03 (25:24):
Oh, yeah, that's that's a vampire too.

SPEAKER_02 (25:26):
Um Yeah, I would definitely call that a vampire.

SPEAKER_03 (25:29):
That's closer to like the strain.

SPEAKER_02 (25:30):
Oh, okay.
Although, didn't we determine inthat movie that uh the doctor
was the monster?
He's out there kidnapping thepopulation, bringing them to his
lair, performing experiments onit.
All they were doing was justliving.

SPEAKER_03 (25:43):
Which they were they were still smart and they like
and killing everybody at night.

SPEAKER_02 (25:49):
There was no anybody anymore.
They were just like, Yeah, notanymore.

SPEAKER_03 (25:53):
Like you can't you can't they infected everybody,
and then you can't be like,Well, he's the bad guy for
kidnapping us.

SPEAKER_02 (26:02):
Humans infected everybody, yeah, yeah, cause
because it was a cure.
Humans were the monsters in thefirst place.
We turned everybody into this.

SPEAKER_03 (26:10):
Well, yeah, we wanted to kill them.
We turn them into monsters, andthen they start turning us into
monsters.

SPEAKER_01 (26:17):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (26:17):
But I still think it's a it's a stretch to be
like, yeah, the human is thebad.

SPEAKER_01 (26:22):
In the movie, you never really see them.
We turned them like becausethey're portrayed as like
zombie-ish.
You never see them rip anybodyapart.
People just nope get infectedand are them.
So that I think their main goalis just reproduction of, you
know, which is very which isvery vampire.

SPEAKER_02 (26:39):
So they they were willing to sacrifice themselves
for one of their own, which iswait, but vampires almost a
uniquely human trait.

SPEAKER_03 (26:49):
Don't vampires typically choose whether they're
going to feed on someone versusturn them?

SPEAKER_01 (26:56):
You bite them, they turn, you suck them dry, they're
dead.
Gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 (27:00):
I had a point to that, but I forgot what it was.

SPEAKER_02 (27:02):
And it depends on like there's some there's some
um there's some deviance, asJosh said, 66 different types.
So if you go back to the 80s andthe movie The Lost Boys, uh, it
didn't even require him to getbit.
He drank the uh one of the othervampires' blood.

SPEAKER_01 (27:20):
That's funny because I think that's like a Twilight,
they have like venom that lookslike cum.
We don't care about it I know,it's just so funny.
Yeah, if a vampire sparkles.
It looked like metallic cum, andshe was like dying, and she he's
trying to turn him her into avampire, so he's like biting her
repeatedly, and then he justpulls out a fucking giant like

(27:41):
turkey baster of a syringe andjust stabs it into her chest,
and he's like, what the fuck isthat?

SPEAKER_03 (27:47):
It's my venom, and he just like fucking It's my uh
uh uh don't worry about it.
Venom.
It's my venom.
It's a vampire thing, youwouldn't understand.

SPEAKER_01 (27:58):
Anyways.

SPEAKER_03 (28:00):
Good pick, host.

SPEAKER_02 (28:01):
Good pick.

SPEAKER_01 (28:02):
Do you do you think that uh do you think that Bella
would freeze her tampons andhe'd use them as popsicles or
I'm sorry.
