Conclave 7b: Who’s Got the Munchies? (”The Hunger” Pt.2)

**NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY TWO WEEKS***

The Cinemania Society, a not-so-secret society of movie geeks, convenes to scrutinize, criticize, analyze, satirize, brutalize, and otherwise vamp on the weirdest films in cinema.

In the second episode of our Day of the Dead-appropriate seventh conclave, the Society analyzes Tony Scott's 1983 neo-gothic '80s lesberotic vampire thriller "The Hunger.”

• The Opening Titles...STILL wrong.
• Stranger Danger not being a thing in the early '80s 
• A grisly puddle that used to be a tween
• Burning garbage for heat the way they did in the Before-Times
• Too many goddamned doves and too many goddamned poop jokes
• Passive-aggressive vampire mummies
• Auntie Hope's recipe for a "The Hunger" themed cocktail
• Cinquisitor Ethan is a patronizing bastard and Repositor Andre is VERY patient.
• Let's hear it for Dan Hedaya!
• Flirtation telepathy
• Lesberotic vampire voyeurism
• The love scene that established '80s film sex tropes: gauzy curtains vs. erotic androids from the future
• Professor Andrea versus Brother Methuselah--
• "The Hunger" as prophecy and a deep dive into the AIDS crisis 
• A surface analysis of Catherine Deneuve's love life
