BLOODHAUS

This week, Drusilla becomes a fitness girlie! Josh and she talk body dysmorphia and dieting, Tyra Banks, gay social media, Josh’s personal connection to Brand Upon the Brain and Lynn Shelton at Cornish College of the Arts, Drusilla does a Dennis Hopper double feature with The Hot Spot (1990) and Red Rock West (1993), they do a deep dive on the career of William Sadler, Josh rewatched Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and they discuss Sheryl Lee, the 80s version of The Blob, Filmstruck (RIP), and more!

They cover the Guy Maddin ballet adaptation, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary. From wiki: Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary is a 2002 horror film directed by Guy Maddin, budgeted at $1.7 million[1] and produced for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as a dance film documenting a performance by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet adapting Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. Maddin elected to shoot the dance film in a fashion uncommon for such films, through close-ups and using jump cuts.[2] Maddin also stayed close to the source material of Stoker's novel, emphasizing the xenophobia in the reactions of the main characters to Dracula (played by Zhang Wei-Qiang in Maddin's film).”
