Chris and Gregg welcome Erica Henderson on board for a chat about the ins and outs of Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles. But lest you think we only talk vampires, vampire powers and vampire rules, we also get into vampires and homosexual subtext and the fabulosity of vampiric transformations. Plus, a vampire trial, a vampire job interview, and of course, Tom Cruise!

Gregg and Chris get Gregg’s Cousin Mike’s* brother, Cousin Joey, to get into the underbelly of The Firm. Joey brings his expertise to discuss the film’s accuracy…there’s a lot of discussion of Tom Cruise’s running, back-flipping and Spider-Manning…we agree on the greatness of Gene Hackman…plus Chris speaks to Wilfred Brimley’s scariness, Joey watches all of Quantum Leap, and Gregg channels Holly Hunter. That’s just the tip of the iceberg to a jam-packed show!

*You might remember Cousin Mike from Cruisin’ Together: 02 – Taps

Gregg and Chris welcome Randall Trang to talk over Born on the Fourth of July. Chris does a card trick, Gregg makes his “best tank top in a movie” nomination, Randy imagines some outtakes, and the matter of Chyna v. Chynna v. China gets some healthy debate. And in a rare turn, things get real and even a little serious as they talk about the “G-Word” and touch on the Vietnamese refugee experience.

Chris and Gregg definitely talk to Patrick McGrath about Rain Man. Definitely. But also: Our o’clocks positions, the the “Iko Iko” grandmas’ beef, the parachuting Mets fan, Rain Man sequel thoughts, Tim Curry’s demon work, lot’s of Wilfred Brimley talk, and the hits of Foreigner! Uh oh.
