Welcome to our spooky season wrap up. For this week we look at the movie that is Jenny's first forbidden experience. We wonder what our parents were up to during these times. We spend a lot of time talking about who the intended audience was for this movie and about the time of the mid 80s where we have lived for a while now. Welcome to the podcast Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowell, 2 actors Zack loves but probably won't show up all that much on our forbidden lists. This one is a lot of fun, if you haven't had the chance check it out. Also check out Midnights and That Thing You Do.

Forbidden Cinema 71 - Interview with a Vampire

Join us in October as we prepare for Halloween. This week we take a look at a classic that Zack remembers from being on a tape with a Batman Forever. We take a look at the nostalgia of having 3 movies on a tape that had nothing to do with each other. We remember rewinding and checking to see where we were on the VHS and coming upon something we were not meant to see.

The Forbidden Cinema journey is about excitement and longing and the sheer rush that comes with stumbling across something in the pre-internet world that was verbotten or above your station.

Jenny thinks back fondly to her parents buying her all the books and having them signed at book fairs having no idea what the hell they were doing.

Forbidden Cinema 73 - Interview with a Vampire - Going Deeper

We are back from our spooky New Orleans Halloween trip and ready to answer the questions that nobody thought to ask while watching Interview with a Vampire from 1994. We look at the culture and the box office of the day to see where this fit in. It turns out this episode is actually dropping on the 28th anniversary of this film hitting theaters, Happy Birthday!!!

Diversions and tangents abound. Some of my favorites are Zack and his vampire contacts, trying to remember Jenny's quote "tits to the chin", Jenny's laughter breakdown about a dark joke in a movie, and Zack actually being right about something when it comes to Diagnosis Murder.
