Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 1 Episode 3, “Is My Very Nature That of the Devil?” We pick-up several years since our last episode as Louis and Lestat continue to navigate their immortal life together, and all the challenges that come with living for eternity. Discussions include Loustat’s lack of communication, Lestat’s need for a friend, Louis’ ongoing struggle of self-acceptance, and iconic moments and line deliveries the girls (and the internet) obsess over. The girls share their hot takes in “Start Your Take” and gush over how refreshing it is to see a show truly respects the medium of television.

Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 1 Episode 2, “After the Phantoms of Your Former Self.” We join Louis post-vampire transformation as he adjusts to his new immortal life. Discussions include the mindful handling of race-bending Louis, the resulting intersectionality of Louis and Lestat’s relationship, and more, and Bobbi shares the catharsis of seeing a Black vampire depicted on-screen in this way. The girls share their hot takes in “Start Your Take” and collectively lose their minds over how much Lestat would love the 1944 film “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “The Trolley Song.”

This week on Just Start the Tape, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam finish their revisit of Season 1 Episode 1, “In Throes of Increasing Wonder.” We pick up with the end of Grace’s wedding and the tragic events that follow. Discussions include why no one will ever forgive Lestat for the fate of our beloved Miss Lily, the scene that should’ve gotten Jacob Anderson an Emmy, and why we consider this episode one of the best TV pilots of all time. We end with our first edition of a segment called “Start Your Take,” where we have one minute to highlight details that didn’t make it into the episode discussion.

This episode discusses themes of suicide. Listener discretion is advised. For resources on suicide prevention, please visit 988lifeline.org.

This week on Just Start the Tape, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 1 Episode 1 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “In Throes of Increasing Wonder.” This series premiere introduces the titular vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac as he tells his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy. We are transported back to 1910s New Orleans where Louis meets the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt.

Discover why we consider this not only one of the best episodes of the show, but one of the best television pilots of all time. An episode so good, we had to split it into two. Part 2 drops next week!
