In the Vampire clubs of horror podcasts, where every third microphone appears to be broadcasting from a basement illuminated by Halloween lights and unresolved childhood fears, there exists the delightfully unhinged institution known as My Bloody Podcast. It occupies that rare cultural space between a graduate seminar on horror cinema and three friends arguing in a video store that no longer exists.
There was a time when vampire movies had the decency to be ridiculous. They exploded into ash, wore leather without irony, and solved most interpersonal conflicts with swords. Before Guillermo del Toro was collecting Oscars like they were novelty spoons from airport gift shops, he gave us Blade II. It was a delirious 2002 movie in which Wesley Snipes somehow became the coolest superhero to ever wear sunglasses indoors.
On Episode #195 of My Bloody Podcast, Bryan Kluger and Preston Barta return to this glorious blood-soaked relic to celebrate its nightmare-fuel vampire creatures, marvel at some truly baffling casting decisions, and unpack the single film review so spectacularly misguided it managed to unite everyone in disbelief. It’s equal parts horror criticism, affectionate roasting, and a love letter to an era when genre movies remembered that fun was not a dirty word.
Listen everywhere. Your inner goth will thank you.
You can find My Bloody Podcast wherever podcasts lurk. It’s a reminder that great horror can be transcendent, bad horror can be fascinating, and arguing about both is often more entertaining than the movie itself.
