The AMPire Diaries

The AMPire Diaries Episode 121: The Originals - “Exquisite Corpse” This BODY is INCREDIBLE? NUH. This CORPSE is EXQUISITE. Yeah. That’s more like it. (And yes, I realized after the fact that this bit fits the Drake “Hotline Bling” meme. Sorry for that unintentional corniness. I was actually originally going for The Social Network corniness.) The second season of The Originals really is cooking with propane. That’s because, this week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and still mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is discussing The Originals’ “Exquisite Corpse” (Season 2, Episode 17). Which means we’re talking: - …for 8 and a half minutes (and this is the ABRIDGED version) about things that AREN’T TVDU-related in the intro, in case you wanna skip some dog co-host and movie etiquette talk. - Ex​quisite Corpse, a signature scent. - P.S. LaToya had some audio issues in this one–mostly resolved in the edit–but there are moments when she’s not as clear as she usually would be on mic. - Women’s rights and women’s wrongs, as exemplified by Freya Mikaelson and Eva Sinclair. - What GOOD sexpionage looks like, STEVE. Here’s that sexy Bonnie and Clyde shit we were looking for. - Ya gotta watch Blindspot, gang. Ya just gotta. - We just know that Claire still won’t sign SHIT. God love her. - The lack of urgency we’ve been dealing with from the Mikaelsons lately… it’s because Klaus simply hasn’t been paying attention to this season. (Couldn’t be us.) - Is Marcel being a bad dad or a cool (aka “badd”) dad? - Look, you’ll never catch your AMPie Queens ending up in a horror movie. - The Magic Limbo. - Hayley… We love you, girl… But you’ve gotta stop being such a bitca to other women. (But also, never stop. It’s really funny..) “CONTROLLING THE DEMON” (“Exquisite Corpse”... and wow, I guess that means we really should’ve listened to the episode’s voiceover more than we did…) Whether you’re a Vampire Diaries obsessive or newcomer, join along with hosts LaToya Ferguson (@lafergs—AMPie Queen, Vampire Diaries obsessive) and Morgan Lutich (@LorganMutich—AMPie Queen, Vampire Diaries obsessive) on their continuing podcast journey.* Most importantly, get AMPED (and horny) along with them on this journey.

BONUS: The AMPire Diaries Presents… Father Kieran Konfessional (2023 Edition) Hark! The herald AMPies sing. Oh yes, it is that time of year again, AMPies. Please, please, please: salute. Much like Ross and Rachel once were—though that will NEVER excuse Ross sleeping with another woman, like, an hour later—we are on an AMPire Diaries break. But you know who’s not on a break? You know who never sleeps? Musical artist P!NK. No, fuck. Wait. We meant to say The Originals character Father Kieran. Sure, he’s dead now. But he’s gone but not forgotten. And have you seen how hot Todd Stashwick is on Star Trek: Picard? Come on. Which is why it’s time for 2023’s much-anticipated Father Kieran Konfessional episode! What started as a way to gain intel from the AMPie Diaries’ Patreon (subscribe today!) Discord about whether they wanted to “SMASH” or “PASS” on The Originals’ Father Kieran (fatherkieran1@gmail.com) has now become a totally legit way for your AMPie Queens to absolve our AMPies of their sins. And trust us—y’all do a lot of sinning. Baby Jesus would be so proud of us. ***IMPORTANT BUT WEIRD TECHNOLOGY WARNING*** So, as you might notice as you listen, originally, this episode was somewhat marred by LaToya’s actual mic not being on up top. (So instead, you got computer audio.) But then, through the power of her amazing post-production skills, she was able to fix the issue… to the point that it never really sounded like there was an issue at all. But prior to that fix, LaToya had to edit in a bit. So please, just accept the bit. ***HORNY WARNING*** Oh yeah, we’re still naughty here. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
