The 1990's were filled with vampire classics, one of which may be Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. For perhaps the first time on this show, I rewatched a movie and it didn't bring back that 90's nostalgia that I so dearly love. Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt both perform well, but it's hard to fully love it knowing the type of people they are today. But I digress...
\n\nVampire lore has a long history, much of which stems from the classic novel 'Dracula.' However, the mythos goes back much further. There are many alagories and ways to interpret the vampire, but perhaps the most useful version is that of the blood-sucking capitalist.\u00a0\nThe mere idea of a person, who drains you of your blood until you are dead sounds remarkably similar to that of a Capitalist in our current system. An individual or corporation sucks the life out of its workers so that it remains moving, living, and immortal.\nEnjoy Smirk Gently's return to the show to discuss the film. DO you think it holds up?\n
