NEW EPISODE IS LIVE!!

Perhaps the most controversial of all vampire tales, Twilight deserves its own hot-take extravaganza, and we’re here to deliver! Join us as we reveal our Twilight origins, our opinions on the original Stephenie Meyer novel, and most importantly, our play-by-play of the infamous 2008 film adaptation (directed by Catherine Hardwicke).

Are the Cullens stuck in purgatory? If it’s raining, why is everyone dry? Most importantly, do Edward and Bella even like each other? We answer all these questions and more in a very special, very in-depth Twilight episode!

We went contemporary this time with Renfield! Nicholas Cage as Dracula. Is there anything else you need to know??
Well, just in case you need a little more information: we’re reviewing Chris McKay’s Renfield (2023), a movie about our favorite bug-eating familiar attempting to leave his toxic relationship. Will he succeed? How many different uses are there for severed arms? And why is Didi so flustered? Listen to our episode to find out!

What's that? It's a Monday in mid-August and you're feeling that late summer slump? What you need, my friend, is VAMPIRES.

Come with us on a journey of angsty teenage vamps, sensual saxophones, too many scarves, our goth mom, and mullets - so many mullets - as we review The Lost Boys (1987), the quintessential summer vampire movie.

We have arisen from the dead once again to bring you a brand new episode!! Join us as we review the highly offensive, highly mediocre '80s teen comedy Once Bitten (1985), featuring a very young Jim Carrey, a vampire M**F, goth flamingos, the longest castle chase in history, and a high school dance-off we can only describe as “not the worst part of the movie." Enjoy!

IT”S HERE!! Fangs For Listening’s first-ever VIDEO REVIEW! We’re unboxing Magic: The Gathering’s latest release, a vampire wedding-themed (yes, you read that right!) card set called Innistrad: Crimson Vow, and while I explain a bit about the vampire lore on the plane of Innistrad, Rena finds and rates vampires purely based on aesthetics and vibes. And while this is a video, it also works great as a podcast ep to put on in the background!

If you like vampires, Magic, or you just like us, please check it out! And it would mean the world if you commented, shared, and/or subscribed to our channel! Thank you for your support!!

What happens when a Magic player and a vampire expert open packs of Innistrad: Crimson Vow? We rate the vampires purely on vibes, of course! Join goth sibs R...

WE'RE BACK! And we’re taking it all the way back, with the most iconic vampire movie of all time, Tod Browning's Dracula (1931)! In our new, shorter format, we’ll fill you in on the history and background of this production, how Bela Lugosi got the part, why this movie essentially invented goth, why we all have a monster fe**sh, and what the heck those armadillos were doing in Dracula’s castle. CGI bats not included.

Who’s that stalking the secret vampire museum behind the secret vampire library under the secret Japanese vampire nightclub? Why, it’s our friend and fellow Cool Guy, Blade! Put on your leather and take a deep dive with us into Stephen Norrington’s Blade (1998), in which rave party bloodbaths can only be topped by apocalyptic blood tsunamis that never happened. Could this be our first-ever 10 rating??

IT'S HERE! Our first-ever book review and we couldn't be more excited!
What if Dracula took place in a small town in Maine? What if the main character was a self-insert plagued with gay panic? And what's Didi's secret to making books more fun to read? Find the answers to these questions and more in our first-ever book review episode, where we read Stephen King's vampire horror novel 'Salem's Lot (1975)!
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!
And a HUGE thank you to Andrew, Matt, and Gavi for the reviews - we read them on this episode! You guys rule.
As always, fangs for listening!

Are you looking for a podcast episode to bring a little warmth and positivity into your life? Something to shine some light in the darkness, and remind you why the world isn’t so bad after all? Well, this isn’t the episode for you. But if you want to hear us yell about the anime Vampire Knight (2008) for an hour and a half, you’ve come to the right place!

Also, RENA HAS A NEW MIC! Enjoy the sonic goodness on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and more. And if you like the episode, don't forget to leave a review!
