Episode 60 - Dracula: Dead and Loving It!

In our first spooky episode of the Halloween season, we’re sinking our teeth into Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)! Directed by comedy legend Mel Brooks and starring Leslie Nielsen, Amy Yasbeck, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, and Lysette Anthony, this horror parody brings classic Dracula vibes with a hilarious twist. Join DJ and Alec as they break down every eerie, goofy, and blood-sucking scene — from the over-the-top gothic atmosphere to the slapstick gags that make this Mel Brooks gem a cult classic. We’ll talk about behind-the-scenes stories, reception, and of course, our favorite moments. Then, we’ll wrap it all up with a vampire-themed rating system and Alec’s reflective Final Thought on what the movie says about laughter, fear, and embracing the absurd. 🩸 So grab your garlic, pour yourself a goblet of something red, and join us for a fang-tastic time with Dracula: Dead and Loving It!
