Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Rant
from Movie Week in Review
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Dave, Joe, Mike, and Steve Megatron discuss why the concept of Abraham Lincoln as a secret vampire hunter—both the novel and 2012 film—shouldn't exist. They argue the premise disrespects historical figures and American history, pointing out logical inconsistencies like how a vampire-hunting Lincoln could fail to detect an assassin's gun. The hosts compare it unfavorably to films like National Treasure that use real myths and legends, and debate whether invented historical fiction is more acceptable than this kind of reimagining.
