The episode dives into the iconic vampire movie 'Blade' and discusses various aspects of vampire lore and its connections to the Buffy-verse.
“The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping! There is another world beneath it: the real world. And if you wanna survive it, you better learn to PULL THE TRIGGER!” Note: For this R-Rated film, we’ve suspended our no swears policy. Penny is joined by Jason and Renaldy to dive into the iconic vampire movie, “Blade.” The group has so much fun talking through vampire society and politics, Wesley Snipes’ career, 90s raves, The Matrix, vampire skincare, Rube Goldberg machines, prophecies, vampire polyamory, Sarah Connor, comparative vampire lore, Mahershala Ali and the delayed Blade MCU movie, Sinners, and all the many similarities in Buffy and Angel.
