Show Notes

This week we're up to our elbows in vampires and existential angst. It turns out being immortal is kind of lame. But also funny. In addition to *What We Do in the Shadows*, there are also spoilers for *Only Lovers Left Alive* and *The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle*. Talking Points: the subversion of vampire tropes, old age is brutal, why vampires are so self-centered, *Only Lovers Left Alive*, Hannah's personal vendetta against *The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle*, optimistic and pessimistic nihilism, and the creation of meaning in every day life.
