In this episode, Ashely & Joel begin their official rewatch of the Interview with the Vampire series with the amazing pilot, "...In Throes of Increasing Wonder." Ashley & Joel explore the motivations behind the characters, particularly Louis and Lestat, and how their relationship evolves throughout the series. The duo also highlights the importance of the supporting cast and the themes of power, manipulation, and shame that permeate the narrative. Their insights provide a rich analysis of the adaptation and its implications on the characters' journeys. In this conversation, Joel and Ashley explore various themes from the series, including the complexities of blackmail, the power of music, the significance of manifestation, and the exploration of sexual identity. They discuss the emotional weight of life, the tragedy of suicide, and the impact of guilt and responsibility. The conversation also touches on the importance of choice in vampirism, the role of strong female characters, and the influence of 80s culture on storytelling. They reflect on the journey of the show, the legacy of iconic characters, and the beauty of story resolution, while also looking ahead to new content.Tennessee Williams: The Pennyland Recordings - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0tOu5zsmG3rR3q3pdMAppz?si=QH2zq7l_TF2VX_QhncAAnQThis episode & all of our videos are made possible by our Patrons.
