About this episode
It's time for another gorgeous vampire film as we finally tackle Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In (2008). Along for the ride is The Beauty of Horror 's Chandler Bullock, who connects deeply with the depiction of bullying in the film. Expect all three of us to get very candid! In addition to bullying, we unpack a multiplicity of trans readings for Eli, the eternal 12 year vampire, as well as debate at length whether the end of the film is a tragedy, a love story or both. Plus: Trace's thirst for child blood, Chandler and Trace's take on the stage production, a missed Oscar opportunity and Joe fills in the gaps between the book, the Swedish film and its American remake (for a lot more on that, check out his YA adaptation podcast Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr which did a tie-in episode) References: Vrai Kaiser.
