About this episode
Over 100 years ago, one of the most famous monsters that would wreak endless havoc on the mortal world first graced the silver screen. The first *unofficial* adaptation of Stoker's novel featured Count Orlok in Nosferatu , and Sophia and Nick start by discussing why this silent classic is not only an important early portrayal, but also created so much drama.

Listen to a thorough breakdown of the story, how the filmmakers crafted such a lush technical vision, and what they think The Academy snubbed.
