We delve into the most recent adaptation of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, AMC’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire (Starring Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Bailey Bass, Eric Bogosian & Assad Zaman)
This conversation also includes our thoughts on the original book [Book 1 of The Vampire Chronicles] and the 1994 film adaptation of the story (Directed by Neil Jordan and starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt & Kirsten Dunst)
[spoilers all!]

Early 90s straight-washing
Race-blind casting vs adding to the narrative
Repressed desire and the glass closet
The existential terrors of being alive

Queer hierarchies of privilege
Mentorship and inter-community conflict

In defence of Armand
The glass closets and taking queerness outside
De-centring whiteness in queer narratives
Clinton-era ‘radicalism’ today
