In a retelling of Dracula, Nicholas Cage hits every beat you need, while Nicholas Hoult plays his faithful henchmen. It's super gory but oh so funny.
Why am I just realizing Nicholas Hoult has been in a big chunk of movies i've been watching for the past two decades? From Hulu's the Great to his latest, the X-Men series, and now Renfield with Nicholas Cage.
Juwan, from the Edit That Out podcast, and I talk about the insanely good movie, The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Spoiler alert for Creed III at min 59.45.

Prince Henri returns from war with a new mistress, Filippa, and a baby. Catherine resorts to extreme measures to produce an heir.
Nina from Podcast Fandom joins me to talk about the effects of Claudia's need to grow leading to a violent change in Louis and Lestat's relationship.
Back to wrap up the year with my recommendation of shows to watch as we round up the year. From Historical, fantastical and contemporary.
She and Her Perfect Husband | My Girlfriend is An Alien | New Life | One & Only | And two bonus shows.
Love in the Air is one of my favorite BL show for 2022. With a cast new to the scene, adapted from the novels “Love Storm” and “Love Sky” by MAME, of Tharn Type fame, we have two close friends in trouble, Rain and Sky, it takes them meeting Payu and Prapai, who are not only cunning saviours but also hot guys making storms in the two best friends' hearts. Its a well paced, written and edited, sexy show you definitely should be watching.
Episode 4 of AMC+, retelling of Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire, is equal parts cute and deadly as Lestat deals with Louie's decision to turn a teenager into a vampire. What could go wrong?
Ep 2 recap of Starz The Serpent Queen!
Karly from Core Temp Arts joins me to talk about AMC+ latest hit, Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire, Ep 3.
Juwan from Edit That Out Podcast joins me for ep 2 of Anne Rice's, Interview with the Vampire. We catch up with spoiler talk of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (up until the 36min mark) and then jump into ep 2 of IWTV.
Under the Queen's Umbrella is about a spirited Queen trying to rein in her lazy sons in order to make one of them the next king of Joseon, while surviving the threat of death from others.
Starring Kim Hye-soo from Signal and Hyena. Watch it on Netflix.
Welcome to the fast paced world of the French court with the Medici bitc*, played by Samantha Morton, at its head. Starz brings a fast pace 22nd century style twist to a 16th century story, and while i'm loving it and its ever rotating doors of British actors, I can't quite explain why it work.
I'm back with the story of the first Empress of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu, who fits the perfect example of who hurt you, and then proceeded to hurt everyone around her by usurping power. But how did she get to ultimate power? Over the bodies of many and political machinations while working within patriarchy. Check out the latest addition to the Bad Bitches of History you should know.
My thoughts on the latest BL drama from Thailand that i'm watching. Starring Santa, newcomer to the Yaoi fandom and Earth, from Until We Meet Again, Fame. Its a very cute story of coming of age and love. But is it worth the worth?
AMC is back with a new retelling of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. Starring Jacob Anderson of Game of Thrones fame and Eric Bogosian, we have two fantastic actors bringing their all to a game of pyschological chicken.
Introducing the first man who succeeded in unifying China through blood, conquest and legalism. Qin Shi Huang Di. An addendum to Chinese Dramas from the Qin dynasty.
The defender of the worst, Juwan, from (https://edit-that-out.yolasite.com/) joins me to talk about the 3rd season of The Boys. And of course, Jensen Ackles portrayal of Soldier Boy, a 1950's, hard living, post WWII superhero playing around in a 21st century world. Yes, he's Captain America, but he's so much more fun.
So many BL dramas so little time, but we made time. From mafia drama, sweet rom coms, japanese dramas and its confusions and so much more.
Check out the latest drop from Tv Movie Mistress! Sarah joins me to talk about Chris Pratt, Johnny Depp, and Kanye West; the men babies of Hollywood. 🫠😁
Man, this was a wild first season of Kinn Porsche! Mafia, hot dudes in suits, stylized shoot outs. It’s crazy how everything that should make this show bad makes it so good. Listen to us break down all that is season one of this amazing show from Thailand.
My initial thoughts of episode 1 and 2 of Zhao Lusi' and Leo Wu's latest production, Love Like The Galaxy. She plays a pragmatic yet jaded young woman whose family leaves her behind to go fight in a war and she's raised by her wicked aunt and selfish grandmother. Unfortunately reuniting with her family doesn't bring her the joy and relief she assumes. In the process are the three men she meets on the road to love. But this is more than a romantic drama, or a slice of life story.

To My Star 2, is a South Korean romantic comedy about our clingy Kang Seo Joon and frosty Han Ji Woo leaving s1 headed to couple bliss only for them to drift away from each other in season 2. But will the s2 live up to s1?

We're back talking about Netflix, the state of television, S2 of Bridgerton, and of course Netflix's latest movie, that we cannot believe got a budget of $70M, 365 Days: This Day. Did you love / hate this movie? Send in your thoughts to tvmoviemistress@gmail.com and I'll read it on the upcoming feedback podcast.
It's a wonderfully executed s2 finale of Warrior, as Mai Ling roles the dice and doubles down on petty, much to our delight.
