#177 – Once Bitten | Directed by Howard Storm (with Dustin Holden of Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap)

Tune in as Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch, The Rewatch Recap) collaborates with Arthur once again to review and recap Once Bitten, the 1985 vampire movie that takes its audience on a campy ride as a high schooler becomes the latest target of a centuries-old vampire who requires the blood of male virgins in order to sustain her youth and immortality. Bits and pieces of vampire lore that include a shout-out to the sci-fi novel Blindsight by Peter Watts (which 2CC had covered earlier this year), the fun that can be had with a phone-filled pickup bar, and the ways in which this movie’s dated comedy has aged make up just a few of the subjects that this episode discusses. Directed by Howard Storm, Once Bitten stars Jim Carrey, Lauren Hutton, Karen Kopins, Cleavon Little, Thomas Ballatore, Skip Lackey, Jeb Stuart Adams, Joseph Brutsman, Stuart Charno, Dominick Brascia, Robin Klein, Peggy Pope, Richard Schaal, Peter Elbling, Carey More, Anna Mathias, Kate Zentall, Laura Urstein, Megan Mullally, and Garry Goodrow Spoilers start at 33:35 Source: BTS notes for Once Bitten from screenwriter Jeffrey Hause – http://liner-notes.com/films/ob/Index2.html Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Here’s how you can learn more about Palestine and Israel Here’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocide Here’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected online Good Word: • Dustin: Doctor Odyssey, High Potential, and Agatha All Along • Arthur: The Passion of Darkly Noon Reach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!
