Scars of Dracula (Episode 74) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

After a three month recording hiatus, Dan and Vicky are back to sink their teeth into the Hammer horror entry Scars of Dracula.  The 1970 British production was the sixth entry in the studio's Dracula films and noted for being the first R rated movie in the company's history.  The movie didn't get a warm reception in the States.  Warner Bros., the American studio responsible for bringing most of the early Hammer Dracula films to the US, refused to release Scars and critics savaged the movie as an exploitative retread of the earlier classier entries.  But Christopher Lee, who struggled with coming back time and time again to the character, returned for two more Hammer Dracula films.   In addition to covering their first Hammer film, Dan and Vicky tell us what they did with their summer as well as what they've been watching.  For Vicky, that included Sponge Bob on Broadway, lots of TV (Pose, American Woman, Absentia, and Tokyo Vampire Hotel) and a fair share of movies (Cargo, Tag, Blindspotting, The Spy Who Dumped Me and Hereditary).  Dan took in the docs King Cohen, Wild, Wild Country, Three Identical Strangers, and Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood and the films Mission Impossible: Fallout, Deadpool 2, Upgrade and John Carpenter's 1978 Elvis starring Kurt Russell.
