Rebecca and Matthew are a pair of elder millennial goth kids who are straying from their usual beat, classic spooky sixties soap opera Dark Shadows, to briefly recap and discuss the third season of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, or season one of The Vampire Lestat. Take your pick. 
Avid Anne Rice fans in decades past, we wade through the haze of memory and nostalgia to consider this present-day adaptation of stories we held dear in our distant, and we mean distant, youth. Digressions include debating Sam Reid's hotness on this program versus The Newsreader and versus Jacob Anderson (we're at a stalemate). discussions of elements of series 1 and 2 of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, the ethics of child actors vis-à-vis book Claudia versus film Claudia versus TV Claudia.
