Bonus: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3, Part 2 with Sophie Cadden & James Duffy
2026/09/21
[BONUS] We resume our bonus coverage of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's third season... where an accidental wish plunges the town into a dystopian alternate reality, an ancient evil torments Angel on Christmas Eve, a betrayal by Giles leaves a powerless Buffy to face a psychotic vampire alone, and a sidelined Xander must quietly find his own inner strength to stop an explosive zombie plot...

🎯 The Agenda
~ [ 00:00:20 ] "The Wish" with Sophie Cadden
A heartbroken Cordelia wishes that Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale. The vengeance demon Anya grants the wish, plunging the town into a dystopian alternate reality where The Master rules, the Hellmouth is wide open, and Willow and Xander are sadistic vampires.
~ [ 00:50:00 ] "Amends" with Sophie Cadden

~ [ 01:30:30 ] "Helpless" with James Duffy
On the eve of her 18th birthday, Buffy suddenly loses her Slayer powers due to a secret, drug-induced test administered by Giles and the Watchers' Council. Deprived of her strength, she must rely entirely on her wits to save her mother from a psychotic, escaped vampire named Zachary Kralik.
~ [ 02:25:30 ] "The Zeppo" with James Duffy
Feeling excluded and dismissed as the useless "Zeppo" of the gang, Xander accidentally falls in with a group of dangerous, bomb-building zombies. While the rest of his friends fight off a literal apocalypse in the background, Xander must quietly find his own inner confidence to stop Sunnydale High from being blown to pieces.
🎙️ The Lineup
Hosts & Editors: Dan Owen & Hugh McStay Guests: Sophie Cadden & James Murray"Oh, please. 'Integral part' of the group? Xander, you're the-the useless part of the group. You're the Zeppo. 'Cool.'

Bonus: The Vampire Lestat (2026): Side B with Lauren McAllister & Kim Morrison
2026/08/03
[BONUS] We conclude our coverage of AMC’s The Vampire Lestat (Season 3 of Interview with the Vampire), tracing Lestat’s erratic trajectory across North America as his rockstar tour, supernatural feuds, and haunting past collide head-on.
And returning for various legs of our own tour is horror writer Kim Morrison and podcaster Lauren McAllister...
🎯 The Agenda
~ [ 00:00:40 ] "The Devil's Road" with Lauren McAllister
Lestat spirals in Albany after Gabriella vanishes yet again, stirring up memories of their travels after Paris. Meanwhile, Armand’s ill-received “apology tour” faces Daniel’s unbridled fury, and Louis makes a deeply disturbing arrangement with a Claudia lookalike in Brooklyn.
~ [ 00:43:00 ] "New York" with Lauren McAllister
The tour hits the Big Apple as the background murmur of a vampire uprising turns into a roar. Louis' unhealthy obsession with Regina deepens, Armand continues to play both sides, and Lestat’s public stage provocations push the coven networks to the edge.
~ [ 01:19:10 ] "Montreal" with Kim Morrison & Lauren McAllister
Crossing the border into Canada, deep secrets about Lestat’s maker and lineage resurface, as both Louis and Lestat decide to get some closure with Claudia thanks to a witch and a seance....
~ [ 02:05:25 ] "The Failures" with Kim Morrison
In the season finale, Lestat is stripped of his rockstar bravado and forced to face the internal workings of his mind—confronting the wounded child he was before turning. Meanwhile, Louis suffers an intense interrogation...

Bonus: The Vampire Lestat (2026): Side A with Kim Morrison & Lauren McAllister
2026/07/27
[BONUS] We begin our long-awaited coverage of AMC's The Vampire Lestat, the re-titled third season of Interview with the Vampire, where the brat prince officially takes the mic!
We dive headfirst into Lestat de Lioncourt's chaotic rock star era, exploring the first three episodes of this brilliant, blood-soaked rebranding as he launches a tour, confronts his traumatic past, and deals with the messy fallout of Daniel Molloy's book.
And joining us for this tour is horror writer Kim Morrison and podcaster Lauren McAllister...
🎸 The Set List
~ [ 00:00:20 ] "Detroit" with Lauren McAllister & Kim Morrison
Lestat reflects on the publication of Interview with the Vampire and the events leading up to his massive rock tour as lead singer of the band Satan's Night Out, a drug-fuelled spiritual trip, and his destructive showdown with a resentful local vampire coven.
~ [ 00:53:45 ] "Toledo" with Kim Morrison
Lestat revisits his human origins in Auvergne and explores Toledo alongside his newly reconnected—and deeply complicated—vampire mother, Gabriella. Amidst rising tensions within the band, there's also a tense legal showdown with a disgruntled hotel owner: Louis de Pointe du Lac.
~ [ 01:35:30 ] "Toronto" with Kim Morrison
Daniel Molloy finally gets a difficult Lestat in the documentary hot seat, probing into his history as a Parisian actor, his heartbreaking dynamic with Nicolas, and his agonising transformation by vampire Magnus. Meanwhile, we track Louis heading back to Detroit to violently settle some long-unfinished business with Bruce, the vampire who kidnapped Claudia.
