The Half Hour of Power

Before we tackle Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (2024), Brandon and I take on Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). Klaus Kinski stars as Count Dracula, not Count Orlock in this version. Isabelle Adjani stars as Lucy Harker. Kinski played Renfield opposite Christopher Lee's Dracula in Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1970)! 1979 was a big year for Dracula! There were three films featuring Bram Stoker's Vampire Count...Dracula directed by John Badham starring Frank Langella, Love at First Bite directed by Stan Dragoti starring George Hamilton, and Nosferatu the Vampyre! Join us on our Nosferatu journey and let us know your favorite! Plot: Count Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror. Taglines: Nosferatu...he who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. Nosferatu...he who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves. Nosferatu...a tale of seduction in the dark night of the soul. It is fear and fun. It is a scream of horror and a cry of delight. It is Nosferatu, the Vampyre. ...He who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. ...He who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves.

Brandon and I take a bite out of the Kit Harrington Werewolf movie, The Beast Within! The Beast Within reunites Harrington with his fellow Game Of Thrones castmate, James Cosmo. You may also remember Cosmo from Mel Gibson's Braveheart, Troy and Highlander! With the new Universal Wofman movie coming in January of 2025, is this a good monster film to hold us over until the time of the release of Wolfman? Marc from the Toys of a Time Gone by joins us to discuss a few of his favorite werewolf movies! Plot: After a series of strange events leads her to question her family's isolated life on a fortified compound deep in the English wilds, 10-year-old Willow follows her parents on one of their secret late-night treks to the forest's heart. Tagline: Protector. Provider. Predator. #horrormovies #werewolves #kitharrington

Christopher Nolan has directed Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer since Interstellar was released. Has he gotten better? Join us as we discuss Interstellar! Plot: When Earth becomes uninhabitable in the future, a farmer and ex-NASA pilot, Joseph Cooper, is tasked to pilot a spacecraft, along with a team of researchers, to find a new planet for humans. Taglines: Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here. The end of Earth will not be the end of us. Go further. Mankind's next step will be our greatest. Look To The Future If You Can Go Beyond, You Can Go Back
