NOSFERATU (2024)

About this episode

The episode discusses the 2024 film Nosferatu and its unique take on vampire lore.

Now that Father Time has allowed one more year to pass, and Santa has been banished to his ice prison until next solstice, it's time to visit our favorite memory from this holiday season: Nosferatu, AKK Robert Eggers Presents "This Ain't Dracula: A XXX Symphony of Horror." Stalk the stone paths of turn-of-the-century Germany alongside The BOP Suitors as Lilly Rose-Depp's star-making performance ties together an all-star cast, including Bill Skarsgaard at his most uncanny, Willem Dafoe at his most grave, Nicolas Hoult at his most dandy, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson at his most obsessed with his wife. Along their stroll they'll discuss the appeal of the Nosferatu iteration of familiar vampire lore and how Eggers plays with those expectations, rank the stars of Dracula Cinema by their fashion and sex appeal, and scour forgotten lore to determine how exactly Orlok traveled by boat to a landlocked country.
