Just Start the Tape: An Interview With the Vampire Rewatch PodcastShow Notes
This week on Just Start the Tape, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 1 Episode 1 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “In Throes of Increasing Wonder.” This series premiere introduces the titular vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac as he tells his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy. We are transported back to 1910s New Orleans where Louis meets the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt. Discover why we consider this not only one of the best episodes of the show, but one of the best television pilots of all time. An episode so good, we had to split it into two. Part 2 drops next week!

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.
