In honor of Circus Month, Dan and Brian revisit the maligned and forgotten teen film, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Join as they ponder the long tail of post-Harry Potter and post-Twilight franchise attempts sourced from young adult books, the glorious weirdness of titular freak show, the utter blandness of Darren Shan, the incomprehensible plot, and the film's various other highs and lows. Opinions are mixed, and Dan has some proposed rewrites, but history is made during the Is It Good section.
