This spooky season we decided to revisit a Movies That Made Us Gay classic and bring you a fresh take on the 1994 hit "Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles" directed by Neil Jordan. Like Kirsten Dunst's Claudia we want some more! We love this movie so much we had to do a second episode. We talk about whether the AMC TV series has altered our opinions of the movie and if it comes across as "dated" now that we're closing in on 30 years. A discussion of Interview wouldn't be complete without a take on Tom Cruise and his handling of the character of the vampire Lestat and his dysfunctional relationship with Louis (Brad Pitt) and their "daughter" Claudia (Kirsten Dunst). What gay themes the film sometimes tip toes around in 94, the AMC show dives headfirst in today. Speaking of which, help us fan-cast our imaginary '90s Network Television Vampire Chronicles 3 night spectacular - RIcky Schroder as Lestat! We also double featured our revisit of Interview with immediately watching Queen of the Damned because were gluttons for punishment, so consider this our Queen of the Damned episode.
