A shamelessly indulgent episode, as Kirsty, Stella and Dan rabbit on at length about why and how much they love the 2014 horror mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows, its current TV incarnation and other spin-offs. It's mostly spoiler-free, for the uninitiated (apart from a spoiler section beginning at 01:20:48), but it does contain some swearing. Which is becoming a habit.
An apology and a correction: Dan remarks that Natasia Demetriou's performance as Greek-accented Nadja is essentially an impression of her mother, but Dan is misremembering this biographical detail. Natasia's mother is English, it's her father who's Greek.
