Stella, Kirsty and Ian have all seen lots of True Blood, HBO's steamy vampire romance, and love it to bits. On the other hand, Dan has only seen a bit of it, but he loved that. Listen to them wax lyrical and philosophical about why it's so good (except for, as Ian points out, when it isn't) and how it compares to the Charlaine Harris books it was adapted from. And if you've never seen it, the gang pretty much avoid spoilers, for once. Plus, we have another phone call with Howard and Dan as another random film is plucked from The Bag of Death.
