Regardless of your connection to Anne Rice, The Savage Garden welcomes all creatures of the night. Enter if you dare.
Join Leslie Simon and cohost Emily as they ponder, grumble, and shout their way through Episode 1 of AMC’s polarizing new series Interview with the Vampire. Why is Louis a pimp? Can vampires smoke? What is with all the zombie carnage in New Orleans? Tune in to find out.
Join us as we discuss the ending of The Vampire Lestat, and Lestat’s recounting of everything Interview with the Vampire got right and wrong. As always, we take a few tangents: to discuss A) Why music seems to be the only thing waking up vampires these days, B)Whether Marius could have dug his way out of all that ice and, C) The morally questionable actions and lack of repercussions in Anne’s vampire world.
