Vamps are these oh hey you three guys like someone he's carrying a civilian oh that was a sick pullback whoa dude what what yes [Music] she's good it's a very soft tarp apparently I think it's because she's now been bit by the vamp yeah maybe she's extra durable killed today reminds me of my mama thank you with allium garlic you get a lead on him no too bad ouch I love garlic oh hold it I don't think I've ever seen a vampire movie where you have time after even bit some of them as you know the genre has grown there are a lot of different rules about like totally some treat it like a poison you can suck out some of it's instantaneous I don't think I've ever seen that how many died we don't have an exact count we're having different oh Deacon Frost you can come in now hey hey my blood these people are our food not our allies or maybe I'm just the first to say out loud what we've all been thinking we have existed this way for thousands of years born how can you be born a vampire I guess it must be like if your mother gets bit while you're in the womb or something I don't know then what's the aging process how do vampires procreate yeah I love natural shows or movies make rules like I love to know the lore like what works in this universe yeah essence of garlic give it to me I want it so far the garlic and the silver stuff is pretty cool very like classic Vamp yeah but updated in a cool 90s way Whistler says I'm building up a resistance to the Sarah yeah I figured that might happen super garlic garlic sauce truffle garlic so your belief is that the woman in the beginning was his mom he was born a vampire yeah but he's a day Walker yeah like there's got to be something to do with that that makes him the day Walker security measure not Jennifer ham was on it I know I was gonna say ain't no hand no more I had to increase the dose it's over 50 milligrams now that's getting dangerous it's over nine thousand oh yeah so many neck injections oh my god oh yeah he might be the hottest guy of the 90s comment below yes you met blade silent jumper I got my trusty Boomerang knife here vampires they're hard to kill they tend to regenerate and I'm supposed to believe all this well you already met Mr crispy at the hospital so what do you use then Stakes crosses crosses don't lose squat blades there we go let's get that lore vampires are severely allergic to Silver feed them garlic and they're going to anaphylactic shock and of course there's always sunlight ultraviolet rays so garlic in you does that not affect it unless they bite you and then they go into shock like if you ate garlic and then they bite you yeah that's why they do the injections goes into your blood so or does it keep them away you guys just patch me up and sent me on my way vampire maze silver nitrate essence of garlic send them into shock you start getting sensitive to Daylight fine you're thirsty regardless of how much you had to drink and I suggest you take that gun and use

something happened in the vampire ranks and it staked my life that son of a at the center of it I'm just confused because we established that all the other most the vampires were born vampires yeah

happens when the day Walker feeds on you there's still a war going on and I have a job to do you want to help make me a better okay still needs his power he is right there is a job to do please Alex surprises too [Laughter] there you go there you go I was like the equivalent scene right there that was wicked [Music] it's like very obvious why this movie gets as much love as it does yeah okay so Donald Logue was the the one guy damn that went hard not bad not bad not bad at all that was legitimate eight-year-old me is so psyched right now but do you think it's not bad or you think it's really good no that was really good I thought that was super [ __ ] solid yeah yeah yeah yeah no no don't don't mistake the tone the tone of not bad not the words not bad it was really good like the first of all he is so badass dude Wesley Snipes all day like I this makes me wish that they would somehow Multiverse him in Just Right totally he's so sexy he's so badass he's so believable he's a great actor he delivers those Stone Cold lines it's like him and Keon who both have that thing down you know and then and he'd be throwing down on the it looked like he was throwing down on a lot of those stunts if not most all of them could I have used more of a love story you know I could have do I want to see them like passionately suck face and just like I would have I would have been here for it I'm so happy I saved you yeah I did want to see that I did but other than that it's Perfection you want the romance novel cut I do the the um uh what was Stephen dorff's character's name from Sunshine Frost yeah the opposite Sunshine Frost was Frost was spooky [ __ ] he was he was crazy good on you Stephen Dorff yeah he had that perfect he had a good balance of like yeah being like the petulant younger guy who nobody takes seriously but not like an annoying like he had the right balance where I'm not like how did this guy get to where he is right you could see it yeah it was Friday sometimes yeah he's like just the right amount of a brat like not too much to where I'm like I don't believe this guy but enough that I'm like yeah I see why you're sort of alienated from everybody and everyone's always being like oh you have blood you know you you're not one of us real vampires man so like you know I got where his character came from and I thought yeah just like because of what vampire lore is and and this sort of iconography that you've come to expect I feel like yeah he embodies that sort of like you know he's got his sexy fluid thing he's a little bit Manic and crazed but also you know he's he's just like a hot young guy man totally the thing that was cool too though is that all the vampires are problematic even the one that he kills by looking at the sunshine you know like that guy's obsessed with pure Bloods yeah I know someone else who is obsessed with pure blood you know like you never want like it's not like some of the vampires were good some of them are bad it's just pretty much for the most part it's just blade is good yeah all the other vampires we see are bad varying degrees of bad and and have different motivations right like there's the ones that want all the vampires to be pure purebred which is like they're born a vampire and then there's the Half-Blood vampires that want vampires to take over the world and get rid of the humans it's like different degrees and variations and steps down and whatnot yeah absolutely and I like the way that they unfolded their lore I mean sometimes you know when you're like in the heat of a reaction and stuff like that you got to kind of like collect and keep all the details straight but I thought that they did nicely not to like do too much Exposition dumping while also kind of letting you get the hang of like okay so these vampires can regenerate and okay so there is a difference between pure blood and turned vampires oh snap Gary ton of Cliff did a bunch of the makeup effects I got to uh do a little uh I got to do a little shoot with him once that's cool what'd you do I used to work uh for fangoria back in the day and we did a show uh called blood and guts that was later retitled blood Works where Scott Ian from Anthrax uh would go to different effects houses and they would demonstrate an effect and then do it on Scott and uh yeah we got to go to Gary tunnel Cliff's place that's cool at one point in time that's cool that's a cool dude uh did you feel like it was a little some parts dragged a little bit or you've thought it was good pace for the most part I thought it was it was pretty well paced I mean it this is this is like a two-hour movie and so part of me I'm fascinated by this because this came at a time before what the superhero movie the comic book movie Etc that we know now came into full form so I feel like this did like take its time at moments to slow down a little bit and to have like little character beats and stuff uh I didn't feel like it ever really dragged that much but there were times where I was like okay so we're slowing down to breathe a little bit and and most of the time when I would notice that it was during a scene that I liked I mean I usually I preferred it more when it's like okay we're getting to know Whistler a little bit more okay here's an intimate moment between Karen and blade or something like that but uh but yeah I mean it definitely has sort of a different approach to the pace in that regard and it feels like something a bit more out of the 90s like if you said to me that you you know were like oh you could tighten this up by like 10 or 15 minutes like I yeah I would like argue you against that but at the same time I'm not sitting here going like man like certain parts of the like I liked living in the world still I'm with you how did you feel that this compares to other vampire pieces like taking out the superhero component of this or whatever you want to call or the the uh comic book aspect of this like just focusing on the supernatural do you feel like this is a good vampire movie do you like the way that they dealt with the vampires and like what their different looks were how they die how they what powers they have what hurts them yeah I like this the lore in the society they set up quite a a bit actually I mean yeah you I mean it's part parts of it are obviously borrowing from the classics but you know you have this underground CD World of Vampires that secretly controls everything like it did almost remind me of something that could come like you know a certain I forget how far in the future something like daybreakers is set but you know it's like they got their hands on the cops and they got you know clearly all these different Enterprises and stuff like that and the shadowy cabal of you know the top vampire families or whatever that is like I thought all that stuff was cool and then the ultimate end game of like we have this vampire Bible and there's a prophecy and we have to do this Blood ritual to bring back you know this ancient Spirit to you know help us you know take over the world and or destroy it uh yeah like I thought it was nice in that regard and also then bringing in elements like okay so silver and garlic those things work stuff like holy water and Crosses doesn't so much so yeah I like that they said that they're like some of that BS and it's like oh yeah it's like you know not that I'm always sitting here going like remove the religious aspect but like that makes sense to me it's like okay so like this world yeah the religious or the more sort of like faith-based uh remedies or or weapons are not going to be effective here but there are certain like science-based things that they use and even the thing with trying to figure out the Cure like that can be you know kind of kind of a silly thing in movies and and certainly here I guess it does sort of get resolved kind of in that one moment where she's like well if I you know do this the way we would approach this other you know disease that I'm aware of you know I can kind of make at least a cure for people who have been bit and transformed after the fact and uh but even that you know I thought was I like that they took the time to differentiate like you know I don't think it would work on like a purebred vampire or maybe somebody who's been gone way too long because that was another thing too when his mom came back I was like oh no are they gonna do a thing where they like try to cure her from this yeah or something like that and uh and yeah like I liked the The Temper the tempering of that I guess but she didn't know Humanity left in her oh she did now that you've seen this what would you want say your dream doing the blade movie that's coming out now would you want it to be a sequel to this would you want it to be a remake of this would you want them like what was it that you would want that's an excellent question because I think this like you know watching this in the here and now where uh obviously you have everything to compare it to I'm like this is kind of what I would have wanted from a blade I know I know it's like weird that we're watching this now because now it's like what do I what other thing do I need yeah and like this also had I I appreciate this too because this is 1998 you have a lot of obviously practical gags but a fair amount of CG gags as well and so all I can imagine at this moment is like okay so the effects will look more smooth and we're in a time and place where I my main concern with the new blade is like this did so many things a with blood gags but also like you had the big old giant like Glutton creature and you had like little things like that that I'd never even seen that image before I was like what is this dude and then you had like the the anti-serum that like you know makes them all like warp out blow up and and yeah like it is so kind of pulpy and wild and I am it makes me a little bit wary just because I'm like I don't know how this I'm sure there's a possible way to do it there's always a way to do it but uh yeah going nobody knows yet if it'll be a PG-13 but that's kind of like the worst case scenario that you would expect for you know an MCU bummer itself for PG-13 the way that the character needs yeah but who knows they might be able to make that work um it's just such a dark like vampire in Vampire me fiction media Etc lore is all kind of carnal and and sensuous and bloody so yeah I mean you they've made various PG-13 Vamp movies but I feel like to really yeah get the oomph that you want because too I mean you know I think these comic book universes have an interesting interplay as well between you know like DC has a Constantine where you're going into like magic and the more hellish side of the world and it's demons and creatures and it's sort of removed even though it makes sense that they would co-exist in a world with like alien super beings or people transformed in lab accidents it still feels like a a sort of separate side of the world too and I feel like this would occupy that kind of space in a place like the MCU and so yeah it's like almost like elseworlds MCU like like a little bit or just like their vertigo whatever their version of that is because that DC's is like Constantine Swamp Thing that you know that's they're like because they but they even still like coincide with the other characters like at least watching some of the animated movies it's like the first in the DC AMU continuity they introduce you to Constantine and etragon and all those characters via the Justice League at first so it's like I could see the way that blade could you know intersect with the rest of the MCU I mean like I would be super down for an else world as well because I feel like you know oftentimes people Echo the idea of like when you're less burdened by interconnectivity things can shine a little brighter but yeah it's mostly about a sensibility it's like watching this I could imagine you know a a modern you know read Redux of blade or the new take on blade being maybe a little tighter in terms of that pace but again I thought it was I I liked this this was Pace like more of an actual movie and then you had these moments with these like crazy speed ramp gags and stuff like that they put a lot of Personality into how the world came across you know yeah I like that you just use the term personality because it really did like the way this looked and sounded had a it was a for lack of better words just to be as Millennial as possible for a second it was a total [ __ ] Vibe yeah it's a total Vibe like I knew exactly what they were trying to do what do you think about where we rented this it says that it's science fiction suspense compelling downbeat I mean I love the way they they categorize these descriptors now I mean yeah certainly science fiction I mean there's some suspension like this actually had some tension I thought you know even in moments where you can imagine in your movie math brain how certain things will work out or not like I still found myself getting caught up in things and I thought the impact of certain uh just perilous moments or deaths like the whole thing with Whistler like I really came to like that character a lot and then when he died yeah I was sitting there kind of in the bargaining of like no no there's got to be a way like damn it but you know ultimately and it gives him the gun man yeah and then I'm like did they did he like run back there to grab it yeah but what would you want from an MCU blade having seen this now I just don't really know first of all who could do this as well as Wesley did it I mean I like mahershal Ali is great and I have faith in him but also Wednesday Snipes like because there is like a sort of grind houseness about this too and I feel like Wesley Snipes is like a great call to bring that flavor to life yeah it's it's nothing against anybody it's just like this was he's so great in this Wesley's so great in this that it's like I'm not looking for something different but we need to be looking for something different because we don't want martial law to just do a Wesley yeah you know so like yeah what's going to be the spin and then I I don't know like is it does blade and the girl that I wanted to see him get on with do they do they have a pure blood kid like like do they try to teach them what happens you know the the day Walker yeah it creates with a human well she's not well I guess she is she could be a half blood though he just sucked on her again I know but she can curious I think they said she can cure herself again um but no I can't tell what the actual story I would need to be and I I haven't read any of the blade comics so I don't know like who are who else is in our sandbox to play with yeah so yeah but I I'm not not looking forward to it because it's somewhat of a simple premise and I love vampire stories well that's the thing is I feel like yeah thinking about what new blade could be is just sort of like I don't know I guess it would just be a blade movie kind of like what we just sucks but just with new faces and I wouldn't ultimately be upset by that because I don't know yes you're gonna have slightly different characters villains different storyline Etc like so I feel like this is a solid enough blueprint and they don't really they can tweak but they don't really need to tweak a whole lot to you know didn't they have a director on the project and then they pulled them that project has been retooled a lot they had I think the director left I think they've gotten different writers on it and now we have the writer strike going on so yeah that movie is seems like it's having a particularly bumpy journey to fruition bummer but this was legit man I I really yeah this is after so many years of trying this this really uh yeah it had I think like some of the best elements of 90s cheese but also watching it you know so many years removed and I'm like still holds up man totally yeah like this doesn't feel like I have to give it too many handicaps for being you know of a certain time and place yeah there's like one or two throughout where we were like oh where'd the sound go there like okay the way that looks but for the most part it just was really solid for a 98 Super solid yeah it just feels like you know the nightlife is really Vivid and the effect like I thought they smartly shot most of the effects so that yeah like even when the CG is not like up to Modern standards the scene still works and it's like you know those skeleton you know flying skeleton demon monsters that come out at the end yeah a little sick looking they don't look photo real but they look great yeah like like as they're coming out of the the people's mouths yeah like for how they chose to shoot that and light that and how they you know animated and captured it like yeah I just thought this had a lot of energy and a lot of punch it says downbeat and like yeah it is a little dreary but I thought it still had a pulse and it still had that kind of I guess that's it it's like I'm interested to see what the MCU does but I'm glad that this had like its Edge on it because I feel like it needs to it is the dark side so it can't be as like I I would rather see downbeat as the descriptor then yeah totally I think that uh the good thing about when they do this what I always try to remind myself the good thing about when they do like the next blade is that this one still exists it doesn't take that and and put it in the trash so there will always be this so to this too yeah yeah it'll be interesting to see what they do with it yeah yeah good action it's just one right designs of this yeah no they're three three I thought there was just one more I thought it was blade one and two there's blade three Blade Trinity yeah I forgot there it is a Trilogy and the third one is called braid Blade Trinity wow braid Trinity and one of them has like Ryan Reynolds and I think one of them was in fact I think I think I've heard it said that the Ryan Reynolds one is is like he's the one good part of that Sequel and I think maybe like Blade Two or something people like it's kind of underrated and I think like Guillermo del toross no no I mean Blade Trinity is definitely a thing does he make it out alive of Blade Trinity I don't know any of the blades I saw two and three but never the first no no you know but uh I mean I would love to I would love to continue the journey I would love to see how this world evolves and how they you know because this was also Yeah a different time where like franchising things wasn't quite as streamlined obviously as it is now um but this is a world that I would like be totally psyched to come back to I'd be totally psyched to see a different take on a different city like I love the way they captured the city and there's just so much to do with a world like this and I mean not that other vampire stories haven't explored that stuff but you know it's like with the different casts of vampires pure blood turned this daywalker situation seems like there's a lot you could explore with that definitely and they put like a lot of moving Parts which is good not too many but a lot that we could explore yeah and like these other like more feral looking creatures like the guy the you know lab the nurse the lab tech the guy she's working with who she doesn't want to talk about their past relationship like it seemed like they'd been like starving him and he was turning into like a sickly sort of creature um so yeah it's like one of those movies where I feel like it's it's rounded for the story they're telling but it also just hints at more stuff you know beyond the periphery um so yeah I don't know I thought the cast did really really nice job overall I'm with you uh Wesley Snipes freaking killing it whoever uh what is her name who played Karen I thought she did a good job she was excellent and uh and that was like a nice um you know it's like I was rooting for that love story and I I am often these days being like I want a little more like actual romance in these things big make out at the end I wanted yeah your face sucks I wanted a little little like ending vampire orgy Ivy that's the thing is like you know vampire stuff is like trademark sexy I know so I know I watched all Vampire Diaries and The Originals listen I watched all of Buffy she was a Slayer that's true this is really good but you know that was a soap opera that brought back the The Craze of vampires and theme song was Tainted Love oh my baby returned here alone which is a cover I never knew Soft Cell did not write that song oh who did oh I'd have to dig back I used to know this reach deep but yeah it's like one of those songs that was like written for I think it was written for like a female singer or something like that like you know a couple decades prior and then yeah and then they did the cover I never saw any of the Twilight movies ah I've seen one or two I never saw them uh I feel like did this do vampires better don't go to Twilight if what you want is vampire lore what's your favorite vampire movie oh that's a great question oh I would have to think um Jesus I always lean towards like classic stuff like I always I've watched like Nosferatu every every year I mean I I have it could be better in places but I really like daybreakers like when the when the vampire craze was really going down that was a movie I was uh quite enamored by there's one called a girl walks home alone at night that's pretty cool do you like of werewolf zombies vampires what's your jam a root for werewolf because they're like underdone I feel like um ah I probably find I probably would say vampire just pound for pound I feel like there's the I mean there are a lot of great zombie movies um there it seems like as I'm trying to think there's more vampire TV shows but I feel like there's more zombie movies than vampire movies is that wrong there's I mean I would be fascinated to know the answer because it does seem like there are there there are hordes of zombie movies as as you know innumerable as the actual hordes within them um but I feel like vampire is like well trodden and and goes back probably longer uh has has greater longevity probably than the zombie story [Music] and I haven't seen like I haven't seen like uh Let the Right One In which I know people love um let's see okay um Renfield was just good oh I wanted to see that I I uh I've heard good things I've never seen Interview with a Vampire feel like people are loving the TV show right now I watched the first couple episodes it was good yeah um I guess Nosferatu I feel like like a like a cop-out saying that I mean what we do in the shadows is great if you like a movie or the show better for what we do in the shadows yeah uh I guess probably the movie but I like the show just as much fright night's pretty good I haven't seen the uh the remake of fright night but uh but yeah From Dusk Till Dawn that's a great vampire movie that might be a time I've missed a lot of these a topper and you both of us have not seen underworld Ah that's right yeah and I feel like I think that one has both has both vampires and uh werewolves if I'm not mistaken uh but yeah what's your favorite vampire movie I don't know I'm I'm you know I'm a TV girly when it comes to a lot of these like sure nerdy things yeah so do we count Buffy as a vampire show yeah definitely it's in the title I mean you know there are other monsters but I feel like vampires are like a Mainstay of you know that one Slayer that's right this is good [ __ ] man I like this a lot I I would be thrilled to see more of the blade universe and uh and yeah like I just want to soak up all the Wesley Snipes because this this does seem like one of those instances and I don't have like the greatest experience with blade comics but he seems like a like a terrific choice to bring a character like this to life and especially with how much you can tell he's really thrown down like you know he seems like the perfect like action star vehicle that's also like nice and gooey and horary and and just yeah like the vampire nightclub and stuff like that there's so many cool like you know little flourishes [Music] we've been watching good stuff together that's a thumbs up good luck charm you got any more stray thoughts before we skedaddle because of the braids right man because braid rhymes with blade that's right blade Trinity over here oh yeah I hope I hope it watches so we can watch the next one yeah I hope I would love that I would love to at least watch the the agreeable ones you know I know people I know there's at least one that people don't like so much but uh you know I think how bad could it be it's with Wesley ah right yeah totally and I mean I'm sure there are other like crazy uh guess uh you know supporting actors that I don't know about to surprise us too that's crazy that's right man I I think that's again this is like the one part of that movie I've heard is good do you have closing thoughts no just uh just want more I just want you know I wanna this was vital you know and uh I'm glad to have finally like I said this movie has been built up over so much time for me because of that specific experience it's like yeah I begged and begged we went and yeah like the second they got into the class just I knew because I yeah it's like okay she's mom's on the floor she grabbed that dude's crotch blood sprinkler and like those are the three images I remember from my youth so having that paid off now and I tried to actually watch it again years later with a friend who I hadn't seen in a long time and and we went to put it on and just wound up talking to each other like and not even you know engaging with any movies so like yeah after so long this was like a triumphant you know dunk well you did it I didn't have to like work to enjoy this is good quite quite delightful what did you guys think leave us your thoughts down below be very excited to hear what y'all think about this and if you want us to check out any more of the Blade franchise heading into the MCU version and uh yeah much love to y'all check us out on patreon

Sweden oh I feel like they'd have good vampires in Sweden yeah man I feel like the vampires in Sweden like you know I feel like I watch a lot of like you know American vampire movies or early vampire movies set in America and everyone just kind of like sleazed out all the time like I feel like Swedish vampires would be a little bit more poised a little bit more genial do you think that they are sweeter in Sweden they are they are the Swedish Mikhail is the sweetest of all yeah he's a he is a sugary uh delightful Swedish Fish he's a Swedish Fish I love Swedish fish do they come from Sweden
