KBK After Dark: Embrace of the Vampire (w/ BJ Colangelo)

An undying love. A forbidden curse. Some weirdo just hanging out in a college clocktower, negging you in class. That’s right - we’re combining our Vampire series with After Dark to bring you a cornerstone of the “I’m a teen star who wants to be taken seriously” genre in 1995’s EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE!! Here to take us to school about this pinnacle of blouse-shedding cinema is writer, co-host of This Ends At Prom, and now Returning Champion BJ Colangelo!! After Patrick apologizes for never being able to pronounce anyone’s last name, we dig into what makes these characters tick: horniness! That’s it. That’s the character trait. Along the way, we talk Red Fang Diaries, awkward neck bites, Draculau Ballet, Jennifer Tilly worship, introduce #GetAnhkd, and dumb nerds who need to make it weird!! All this, plus a net-enhanced version of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we get another character who is telegraphed as sexy via beret!!
