We tune into two recent releases in the vampire horror subgenre to find out if there’s anything worth sinking our teeth into.
A Vampire in the Family
Episode 257: Just Your Average Vampire ‘A Vampire in the Family’ (2023)/ ‘Sunrise’ (2024)
We begin, as always, by discussing the latest and greatest horror news.
Dune: Part 2 is slated to be one of the biggest releases of this year. What better way to commemorate its release than to revisit David Lynch’s version of the Frank Herbert classic? Forty years after its controversial initial release, Lynch’s Dune will see a limited release in theaters.
Is there anything more we need to say about The Exorcist: Believer? We have made it clear since watching it that we absolutely detested the sequel to one of the most important horror movies of all time.
The latest news of the project – and its planned future – has us both thinking about the future and past.
Then, it’s on to our featured film reviews.
Sunrise
When we first discussed the trailer for Netflix’s A Vampire in the Family, we were pleasantly surprised. It looked like good old-fashioned goofy fun. Little did we know that we would be introduced to what has to be one of Brazil’s most cherished comedic treasures.
We have covered a lot of strange films on our humble little podcast. None have straight-up confused us like 2024’s recent VOD release Sunrise.
The story somehow becomes more confusing if you pay more attention to it. The fact that it is a vampire movie without an actual vampire is strange enough, but by adding flashbacks that make no sense, characters that do things without reason, and a backstory that brings nothing, the film leaves us speechless.
ABOUT THIS PODCAST:
Every week AIPT Movie Editor Nathaniel Muir and his cinema partner in crime Blake Heath discuss indie and genre movies you have have never heard of, the ones you cannot hear enough about, and the ones you never want to hear about again.
Episode 370: Mid year recap
Time moves more quickly now than it ever has. It was not that long ago that we were talking about a new show executive produced by the Duffer brothers. About a month later, it is one and done. As someone once reminded us, we are just two guys who watch movies. Production budgets and domestic grosses are only a passing interest to us. Still, there are some things that catch our attention. Were we right to say that Michael would get to $1 billion? And what does the future hold for Obsession?
There was a major change to our humble little podcast this year. We decided it would be in our best interests to be a little more focused. To that end, we went to just covering one movie each show. Despite this, we still managed to cover twenty-three movies over seventeen episodes. And twenty of them were released in 2026.
So, what do we have to talk about? And will we get as worked up as we did last week? The horrors of high school, zombies, musicals, buff nuns, and grindhouse adjacent fun. It may not all have been good, but everything left some sort of impression on us.
