October bonus content on Patreon! Break out the golden bathrobes and horny green mist. Lucy's little quadrouple and their stern, professorial dom turn into pretty effective vampire hunters, despite some initial setbacks. RIP Lucy, you would have loved the Saja Boys.

September Bonus Content is here for Patreon subscribers! Strahd has us in a chokehold, so we're vamping through 1992's Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, a Keanu Reeves vehicle (not that one). Gary Oldman chews scenery & Winona Ryder in killer drip.

There once was a peasant named Vlad
Who felt neither happy nor sad
With no soul inside
T'wasn't grim when they died
Though the dirt nap did drive them quite mad

August bonus content is here for Patreon subscribers! We wrap up our breakdown of The #DnD Movie: Honor Among Thieves. Don't let AI tell you it's spelled Honour—despite great work by the very British Regé-Jean Page. In fact, don't let AI tell you anything. #ttrpg
