What We Do in the Shadows
from Honey, You Should Watch This. Hosted by honeyyoushouldwatchthis
In this episode, Greg and Susan have some vampy fun talking about 2014's "What We Do in the Shadows" by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. Susan is all in on Greg's pick as it ticks off all the boxes for her: it's a mockumentary, it has quirky and dark humor, and it features New Zealanders and vampires. After Susan attempts to use vampiric hypnosis on the audience, the two discuss the movie's humor and talented cast, which features Clement, Waititi, Johnathan Brugh, Ben Frensham, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Stu Rutherford, Jacki van Beek, and Rhys Darby. The two share trivia about the film's origins and influences as well as point out the finer details that make up the film's aesthetic.
