Until we watched "Near Dark," the Shat Crew was blissfully unaware that vampires' true supernatural power wasn't immortality: It was prudent decision-making and wise investments. 

In her 1987 solo directorial debut, Kathryn Bigelow changed the way we viewed bloodsuckers by giving us a dusty, trashy and (much to Big D's horror) irresponsible brood of vamps. 

Gene uses this episode to complain about Easter eggs for the stupid. Ash argues that the protagonist is just a crappy Louis de Pointe du Lac. Big D cringes at all the wasted blood. And Bill Paxton just makes the whole thing a lot more fun. 

The Shat Crew also covers Six Degrees of James Cameron, when less is more with practical effects, whether blood transfusion could cure vampirism and why you should shut your windows when vampires are creeping around your farm.

Thirty-five years ago, we saw the release of a vampire thriller from a hot new director which truly connected with audiences and is beloved to this day – that film was The Lost Boys and it remains pretty beloved to this day.  This was the OTHER vampire thriller released that same year – it was the second film to be directed by future Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow and it stars Adrian Pasdar as Caleb, a young man living in Oklahoma who meets a mysterious young woman (Jenny Wright) one night.  The two lovebirds connect and then he meets the rest of the family….or so he thinks.  

Because this woman doesn’t below to a family, she belongs to a gang of vampires lead by Lance Henrickson and they’re travelling around the country with one main purpose: to feed on others.  And as a result, Caleb has to decide whether he wants to join them….or to be fed upon.  This cult classic also stars Jeanette Goldstein, Tim Thomerson, and the late, great Bill Paxton.

Terry's choice for this episode is one of his favorite vampire flicks. 

For the month of the March, we embark upon our new theme by discussing 2 films made by female directors! First we delve into the 1987 vampire western NEAR DARK, which was directed by Academy Award Winning director Kathryn Bigelow, and contains a fun performance by the late Bill Paxton.  Then we delve into the French coming of age story GIRLHOOD, which was directed by Céline Sciamma. Stay tuned to hear what else we have in store for you this month.  We are also going to begin promoting for our appearance at Williamsport Comic Con on April 23rd at the Genetti Hotel in Williamsport.  More details on that will emerge when we have them, but for general con information, please search Williamsport Comic Con on Facebook.  Please rate, review, and subscribe on iTunes, and send any feedback to anotherlookpod@gmail.com.
