🗡️ “There are worse things out tonight than vampires.”

We’re rolling through August’s infamous “Dumping Ground” Month with a cult-defining banger you can truly sink your teeth into. This week, Henrique and David hit Los Angeles for a late-90s juggernaut that revitalized the superhero genre and made vampires cool again: BLADE (1998).

A half-vampire, half-mortal warrior becomes the protector of humanity, carving through the undead with style, swagger, and a katana to match.

Directed by Stephen Norrington and starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Kris Kristofferson.

🎧 In this episode we cover:

Is there another film with a more memorable opening?
The wild logistics of a blood rave—how would that even work?
Is Wesley Snipes the only actor who could’ve pulled this off?
Just how much techno can one movie hold?
Is Whistler secretly the coolest character?

🔥 PLUS:

The wild variety of 90s vampire movies
The state of superhero films after Batman & Robin
Is Liam Neeson a worthy successor to Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun?
Was 20 years too long—or just right—for a Freaky Friday sequel?
A teaser for next week’s pick: a rulebook David’s been breaking while prepping 👀
