GBW #91: Long in the Tooth (Martin / Vampires / Vampire in Brooklyn)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed &quot;good,&quot; &quot;bad,&quot; or &quot;what!?&quot; within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor&#39;s filmography, and more!<br></p> <p>This week, Chris and Ryan dive into three vampire films - all different in tone and approach - that are each directed by beloved auteur horror filmmakers. We start with George A. Romero&#39;s long-inaccessible &quot;Martin&quot; from 1976, which just received a new 4K UHD release from Second Sight. The disc is gorgeous, but the film itself, we argue, is the antithesis of what people expect of a vampire film and is more of a bleak character study. And it&#39;s incredible. Then, we move into &quot;Vampires&quot; from 1998 from Master of Horror John Carpenter. We have some nice things to say about it, particularly the look, the western vibes, Carpenter&#39;s score, and the makeup and VFX, but we knock the core casting as well as the pacing. Finally, we move into a fascinating mess with 1995&#39;s &quot;Vampire in Brooklyn,&quot; the last Eddie Murphy feature under his Paramount contract and directed by Wes Craven. Craven&#39;s sensibilities are present, and so are Murphy&#39;s, but do they mesh well? You&#39;ll have to listen to find out. </p> <p><br>You can find this and future episodes - as well as subscribe to our show - on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-the-bad-and-the-what/id1554493814">Apple Podcasts,</a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0RcsQUeNROydClA6p6P9ht">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-good-the-bad-and-the-what">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://iheart.com/podcast/78028350/">iHeartRadio</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80Nzg1Y2NmYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==">Google Podcasts</a>, and more!
