Just Start the Tape: An Interview With the Vampire Rewatch PodcastShow Notes
There was much ado about vampires at San Diego and New York Comic Con, so we’re back with a bonus episode to give you all our thoughts on The Vampire Lestat trailer. We’re joined by author Rose Dommu and critic Kaiya Shunyata as we react to the new footage, give our predictions for where the season will go, and discuss how we need sex, drugs, vampires, and rock n’ roll. Bang bang.

More from Just Start the Tape: An Interview With the Vampire Rewatch Podcast
This week on Just Start the Tape, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam recount their experience at THE VAMPIRE LESTAT: One Night Only concert in NYC and react to Season 3 Episode 1 of THE VAMPIRE LESTAT, Detroit. Lestat is now our narrator, retroactively recounting the events of his tour and the documentary that Daniel is now making about him in a collection of albums called The Failures. In this episode, we begin our journey with The Vampire Lestat and his band on tour, making a pitstop in Detroit, MI. In this episode, we see how Lestat's band was formed, we learn about regional vampires, and meet a very *interesting* person in Lestat's life.
The end…the beginning. This week, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 2 Episode 8 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “And That's the End of It. There's Nothing Else.” Louis goes crazy on the coven (RIP BOZOS), Louis and Lestat reunite, and Daniel begins a new chapter of his life.
YURI BELIEVERS, IT’S SO OVER! This week, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 2 Episode 7 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “I Could Not Prevent It.” Louis, Claudia, and Madeleine are brought to trial for the attempted murder of Lestat.
YURI BELIEVERS, WE’RE SO BACK! This week, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 2 Episode 6 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “Like the Light by Which God Made the World Before He Made Light.” Claudia reveals her vampiric nature to her lover, Madeleine, and the two decide to spend eternity together. Discussions include Claudia and Madeleine…that’s it, nothing else. Only positive lesbian moments, we ignore the horrors.
The episode of all time (again). This week, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit the second part of Season 2 Episode 5 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “Don’t Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape.” An episode so good that we needed two episodes to talk about it.
