Oceans of Time

On this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I’m delighted to talk to writer-director Jeff Barnaby (Rhymes for Young Ghouls) about a film very dear to his … heart? Veins? Liver? All of the above, I think.

That’s because Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a very visceral picture, with Francis Ford Coppola doing his best to reestablish his cineaste cred after the prestigious sellout of The Godfather Part III.

I did not expect this choice, given the rawer and more raucous vibes of Rhymes for Young Ghouls and Blood Quantum, but it makes a lot of sense in the rear view: Coppola’s movie is just as manic and fevered as Jeff’s are. It just keeps straightening its tie, for appearances.

It’s a good episode. Subscribe on Apple PodcastsGoogle Play and Stitcher and get it immediately, or download it directly from the web! You’ll enjoy it!

And as I promised, there’s also a new episode of NOW What dropping today … this one featuring a cultural panel conducted by Rad on the cultural appropriations of Lilly Singh. You can find that right here, or on the podcast platform of your choice.

Oh, and one more thing: I’m hosting an Instagram Live Q&A with Aaron Abrams (friend of the show, co-writer of the new Kumail Nanjiani-Issa Rae comedy, and all-around good guy) this afternoon at 3 pm ET, tied to the release of the excellent Nose to Tail on VOD everywhere. Join us! I’m going to see if I can trick him into telling me how Blindspot ends.
