the show is amazing! and needs as much attention it can get so we can get as much of the books adapted as possible!
I'm an Anne Rice book purist and I'm telling you that y'all need to watch the series. It's fantastic!
You tell no lies. ^_^
LITERALLY! people who consider the movie superior must hate anne rice because anne hates the movie they made
@@joshuasfilms1135 didn't she have a hand in making the movie? Also, I thought it was only Tom Cruise's casting she had a problem with which she promptly retracted after seeing his performance as Lestat.
The film is entertaining, but the series is closer to the book and so much better.
@@joshuasfilms1135she doesn’t hate the movie. You’re thinking of queen of the damned.
Guys you have to watch the show. My favorite vampire book AND movie is Interview with the Vampire. And while the show makes changes, it is still so respectful to the source material and is amazing. It's also very gay. No undertones at all. All overtones lol.
You two are going to love this & and agreed - it’s all beautiful overtones here! Next up should be The Vampire Lestat. More beautiful people to drool over, plus a great soundtrack!
The show is awesome!!
While I enjoy the subtext of Anne Rice, I do feel that pulling it up to be the literal text is necessary in the modern age. The time for subtlety has passed 😅
The show is woke trash.
@rosedawson1646 imagine going to the youtube channel of 2 gay men and calling a TV show that features gay lead characters "woke trash". You are not in the right here. Ppl like you are never in the right. At any time. In any place. Move the fuck on, you bigoted simpleton.
Fun fact: Lestat the musical is an absolutely real show that had a brief run on Broadway in 2006 😂
written by Elton John.
I want more is an absolute banger.

Thank you for telling me this
you literally are a godsend! I literally have never heard of this
Anne Rice has done a game changer on the description of vampires as beautiful monsters with a touch of class. She really made a contrast between horrific monsters and beautiful deceitful human like creatures.
Rice's shift to vampire media is as pivotal as Polidori (before The Vampyre they were feral monsters, like the one Louis and Claudia meet in eastern Europe in the book).
When Twilight was the rage, the parallels to Rice's vamps were too hard for me to ignore. Beautiful alluring predators, each with a special gift, whose skin turns hard as stone as they age... all from Rice 😅
The death of Claudia was basically Anne Rice processing her grief of losing her daughter to leukemia. In the book Claudia is actually physically about five. The age her daughter was when she died.
I can’t believe you would tease us with this and not react to the show. 😮
The show needs ALLLLL the Emmys. ALL OF THEM.
NOW. RIGHT NOW.
The show is so good. They definitely give the characters the depth that they needed. The movie is my childhood but i love how deep they go into the story for the show. So smartly done
The show the show the show! You’ll regret not doing it on the channel!!!
The show is phenomenal!!! Best show on TV right now
🎵Not a man, not yet a vampire🎵 lmao! That was great
Seriously, the show is incredible. You will not regret it if you watch!
You both would love the show!! It’s amazing and so are the actors! While the movie will always have a special place in my heart, I am absolutely in love with the show.
You MUST watch the tv show omg the movie is great but the the show is like one of the *BEST* television I've even seen 😭😭😭
Oh you guys should DEFINITELY watch the Interview with the Vampire show, you're gonna LOVE IT!! It's truly one of the most amazingly done shows in so long. The amount of work an passion put on it shows.
Sergio had no idea how correct he was when he said "I didn't know this movie had a subtext"! Even Tom Cruise didn't know his character was gay coded.
The show leaves no mystery. All that passion between Lestat and Louis.
The TV Show on AMC is a triumph it is everything we wanted and didn't know we needed! The movies was all we had for a long time so it'll always have a special place in my heart....BUT THE SHOW IS PERFECTION! Best show on TV right now
Shout out to the girl who’s boob got bitten. She later got her head chopped off by an elevator in the first scene of the Resident Evil movie!
Omg, that IS her! 😂
Plz watch the tv show, the second season just ended and it got renewed for a third season🎉
Please watch the TV Show, you'll not regret it - it is amazing ❤ Love you guys
Let me just say this; this movie is a brilliant 90's movie because there were many things to like about this film, including Kirsten Dunst's performance as Claudia (who deserved an Oscar). But it has it's faults here and here, like how Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt hated each other during the making of the film (which is why the chemistry is lacking). It still was the reason I got into Anne Rice's books. I hope you get to binge the show after this! It's amazing!
Please watch the show, it was MADE for this channel. Really expanded on the book and took it to new amazing heights!
Edit: would you like less homoerotic subtext and more straight up homosexual passion and romance? The show. The show is for you.
In "Queen Of The Damned" LeStat becomes a huge rock star.
Y’all have got to watch the series!!
manifesting you eventually watch the show, i liked the movie and its the reason i started watching the show cause i wanted more of this story and my god its one of the best things ive ever watched
The show is AMAZING. You need to check it out. This was a blast, but 100% check out the show.
YES!!! I was skeptical at first how the series would work, but it has surpassed my expectations! Please react!
You guys should watch the show it is so good, definitely worth your time.
This movie will forever have a wonderful, special place in my heart. It's one of the main reasons I got into vampires, and why I've never looked back. It also helped my mind to expand and think outside of the box that I was raised in.
Please, please watch the show! I just finished season 2 yesterday, and it is phenomenal. Immediately thought of you two and how you might really enjoy it. Beautiful acting and cinematography, gripping story lines and wonderfully upper crust and beautifully demonic atmosphere. One of my favorite shows of all time. Please, please watch it.
This one and The Lost Boys are my fave Vamp movies of all time. Haven't seen the show yet though!
Also, remember what Spike said in season 2 of Buffy? "People still fall for that Anne Rice routine? What a world!" and laughing about it. Great reaction guys! ♥
Definitely check out the tv show!!! Its only 14 episodes
15 episodes lol
I love the movie & wasn't sure if I would like the tv show without brad pitt & tom cruise. I LOVE the tv show & actually like the actors that play Louis & Lestat even more!
Really? Even more? I haven't seen it yet but that's very high praise. I'm gonna have to check it out
@@mc9474 I agree with @jsapcakrro! Jacob Anderson is incredible as Louis and Sam Reid IS Lestat! I can no longer picture anyone else in the role.
@@LavenderViolet536 yall are gonna make me start it tonight lol. I was going to eventually but I didn’t expect they’d be better in the role.
Agree the AMC series is incredible. And in my opinion Jacob Anderson is Louis, and Sam Reid is Lestat they are so amazing. And absolutely way better then Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
The show makes Brad Pitt’s acting in this movie seem bland imo
Immortality & a perm? Sign me up 😂 The cast was stacked & everyone was so young! 1st time watching the film & just finished season 2 of the show. I had an enjoyable time with this film but the show is on another level to me 🖤 Fun reaction as always! Hope y’all watch the show too cuz I know you’d love it 🙃
Fingers crossed I hope you get into the show.As amazing as the movie is I can't wait for you guys to watch the show and check out your reaction.
Anne Rice initially hated the choice of Cruise as Lestat but once she saw his performance in a screening she bought 8 pages of advertising in the movie industry magazine the Daily Variety to gush about how wrong she was.
The movie is great. The TV show is prestige TV that would be raking in the Emmys if it weren't horror.
The show is unreal how good it is yall have to watch it
Please, give the show a chance! It's amazing. So well-written, well-directed and well-acted!
The book (the trilogy really, although there's also more after that) is glorious. The intricate depth, everything you're looking for, wanting more of, explanations, it's all in the sumptuously written books.
I've loved this movie for my whole life, but when I tell you the show is soo much better in my opinion.. We need more attention to it so we can get more of the books adapted in their truer form, something we haven't been able to get yet.
watch the series...its amazin
There was a musical called Lestat, that had music by Elton John. But it did so badly, it was on broadway verrrryyyy briefly
The show is amazing
You NEED to watch the show. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best TV writing and ACTING I've seen in years.
YOU NEED to watch the tv show
NOW THE TV SHOW 🙌😭 I’ll jsut say this, this film used to be one of my ALL TIME faves and while I still love it immensely imho it doesn’t hold a candle to the new tv adaption. The changes make it SO much more nuanced and layered. Really hope you guys watch the series next 🙏🏻
Please watch the tv show,is amazing
Queen of the Damned next PLEASE
Please no
Claudia even thought in a child's body she was mentally 30 something.
"That is so messed up!"
🤣🤣🤣
Lestat dancing with Claudia's mother is hilarious! This adaptation plays up Lestat's morbid humor 😅
My favorite little detail of Interview is that Lestat can read minds, and tries to show Louis that they can feed on criminals, but Louis is so wrapped up in his human emotions (Louis' 'dark gift') that he cannot see the rotten trees for the forest so to speak.
"They created a monster!"
The irony being that Claudia's feeding habits weigh on Lestat's conscience (yes, he has one 😅) because she is predatory and somewhat indiscriminate - they wipe out whole families, she preys on women & children, kills for greed and envy, etc.
Yes! Cover the show! It is fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
Kirsten Dunst's performance as Claudia was so impressive for someone so young! 😮 I definitely recommend IWTV show! The acting, story, costuming, music etc totally draws you in ❤
There are 15 books in the series, and while this book is from Louis narrative, the books after focus more on Lestat adventures going forward. There is kinda a sequel movie called Queen of the Damn which isnt the best...but the late Aaliyah was amazing in her last role as Queen Akasha, the mother of vapmpires. The series is really good, but they made enough changes from the source material to make it an alternate reality, but keeping its essence.
I like how you mentioned Armond and Louis, in the books they actually do end up spending time together before Louis decides to go on his own way!
In the book 'The Vampire Lestat' you learn how he knows Armond
You absolutely have to watch the show! It will provide so much context for what you just saw in the movie.
I like Claudia's curls, I suppose they meant that Claudia was really in bad conditions and when she become vampire she become her best version.
THE REAL CHARMED house is in San Fransisco. Of course the stage house is in LA. But the real house was used at least once, for the pilot. Go check it out and get a photo op of the exterior !!
Omg you need to watch the series it's so good. The acting the writing, the chemistry between Lestat and Louis. You are doing yourself a great disservice if you don't check it out. In my humble opinion it's better than the movie.
Yesss! The series is somehow soooo different and yet more faithful to the story? You’ll love it!
I echo everyone in this comment section when I say please please please please please please react to the show... If you guys enjoyed the movie you are going to LOVE the show! It is so good. It is one of the BEST TV shows on air right now! I cannot recommend it highly enough! 🥰
I’m joining the group of people in the comments begging y’all to watch the tv show. It’s so good and I think both of you would enjoy it for a number of reasons
The show just wrapped up and I am floored. I had only read the first book and seen this movie....but wow, the show really just stands so strong as an adaptation. I watch a lot of movies and tv shows(probably more than I should), and the show features such masterclass examples of writing and acting...I am just blown away by the acting.
The vampires in the books and movie are ACE. They have no sexuality because when they become vampires their sex organs don't work anymore. With men they cant even get an erection and their genitals kind of shrivel up. So their relationships only matter when there is an emotional and complex bond connecting vampires to eachother. They are beyond the constraints of gender and don't see that when choosing a partner to make or fall in love with. What is described in the books is how indescribable and beyond physical pleasure, the experience of drinking blood is. That is sex for them especially when they drink from one another, they pass on knowledge and memories, and the older ones can make weaker vampires stronger with their ancient blood.
Edit: The show portrays vampire relationship more like human ones, so sex is back in. A change I don't think was necessary for Louis and Lestat would kiss and faun over each other in the books. I like the intimacy of finding other ways to express love without straight up sex. The show still has the spirit and core of the books so other than that lol, I do like it.
One of the things I love about this movie is the practical effects. For 1994 it's done so extremely well and still holds up. The only moment in it where the effects are a little off is the bridge tunnel scene when the camera wobbles as the set rotates. The effects are so subtle that you might not even notice how good they are, like the statue's eyes, or when Lestat first "dies". It's such a good movie, one of my all-time faves.
I thought I loved the movie until I saw the show. The show is just breathtakingly good, and makes this movie pale in comparison. The show is so soaked with drama and the characters just come to life. It is so vivid. The show is different in many ways from the books but is so much closer to the books in some other ways. But book accuracy isn’t a sticking point with me as long as the end result is good. In the end, while this movie is definitely good, I think the show is an even better piece of art and is absolutely outstanding! Definitely worth checking out if you liked this. More brutal, more romantic, and more insane.
I’m new to your channel but I NEED yall to watch the show!! You thought there was tension in the movie? Baby just WAIT for the show 😂
The cgi and practical effects had no business being this good.
The series is a masterpiece
You two will not be disappointed with the series! It is sooo gooood!
I love this film but, echoing the other comments: The TV show! Oh the TV show! It is phenomenal. Extremely brilliant performances, excellent updates to the source material. Just all-round amazing.
I was a big fan of the books as a teenager (except Louis; sorry Louis fans but he is tedious!) and this film was really a great adaptation for the time. There is less homoeroticism than the books and a lot of heternormativity is introduced (no wife and child in the book).
This is basically the only film I liked Tom Cruise in and what a performance from a young Dunst! Hollywood has wasted her. She had some good roles after but not what she should have had.
4:30.... Last time I watched this movie was before I heard the score of Wicked. But I can totally hear that right along with you😉
The series has a very different tone. I ADORE the books and this film captures their tone perfectly. The series however is a very modern interpretation that I didn't care for, however, their casting of Lestat is *chefs kiss*
The show is so good! You should watch
I honestly don't think i can put into words how much i love this story. i saw this movie a year after it came out. Granted i was way WAY too young to be allowed to watch it but i still managed to (i was about 9) and ever since that first watch i wore that damn VCR tape down. when we eventually got the internet in my house when i was 15 i desperately looked for anything to do with the story online and read my first anne rice novel that same year, though in the completely wrong direction (my first book was armands book) i love the music i love the acting i love everything about it and thought never could anything top this movie. well, i was wrong. the tv show is amazing. i was sobbing my heart out over how they did claudia's death and the actor they got to play lestat is miles better then tom and this is coming from someone who has watched this movie easily 100 times in her life. i know that sounds not possible but im almost 40 ya, obsession lol. i highly reccomend you guys watch the tv show. not even to record and put on youtube just to experience it. sending much love from ireland
Bwahahah you guys are too funny! "He's hangry, he needs a Snickers." I nearly died.
I've never liked a video so quickly.
YES! Please cover the show. While the movie is great, the show is even better and, in my opinion, a more faithful adaptation to the soul of the book; and the changes made the story even better. Sam Reid plays a much better Lestat. It's a role he was born to play.
15:26 - "The Vampire Lestat" was made into a musical, LOL!
PLEASE watch the show, too - it is so good. The show is fully gay, not just gay coded haha.
“I’m surprised this hasn’t been a musical” well actually it was, there was a musical called ‘Lestat: the musical’, which is based off of the second book in the ‘Vampire Chronicles’ series called ‘The Vampire Lestat’, and goes over Lestats life from his own point of view. Also, all the music in it was written by Elton John lol
A year after this film came out, Ann Rice was at a book signing promoting her latest work - Memnoch the Devil. She signed all 3 of my books that I had brought : Interview with the Vampire, The vampire Lestat and Memnoch the Devil.
I don't think i had ever clicked the Like button on a video before watching, but i did today. This was one of my favorite movies growing up. My dog's name was Louis because of this movie. So I'm so glad you liked it.
Whenever I think of vampires, this is what I think of.
This was one of the first vampire stories that humanized them. Before they were always portrayed as purely evil. Twillight and The Vampire Diaries and such owe everything to Anne Rice.
Hope you lovelies react to the show one day, it's so good.
I think you should watch the series “Grimm”. I think you would LOVE this series! It has everything in it.
Agreed
@@reneeg9406 It’s such a great series. It doesn’t get the hype it should. They just don’t make them like that anymore.
"I am surprised this hasn't been a musical." It has been, The Vampire Lestat book had a musical version with music written by Elton John. It had a full run on the west coast and it ended pre-maturely in NYC. I got tickets for the NYC showing but they ended the run early and refunded me. I am GUTTED to this day. There is hand-cam footage of it in youtube but they never did a professional recording of the show.
Is a good detail that you guys caught in the "vampires can't move on from their time" and also the fact that Louis is clumsy at reading minds, then Lestat is all ragged but then when he goes for Daniel he can drive! how did he learn how to drive but does not know what electric light is!? He is a liar.
Sergio this is the 2nd time you picked a Monday movie as a musical. Thats not a bad thing. Also I need you guys to watch Queen of the Damned for the soundtrack alone.

It actually has been a musical! Elton John wrote a Lestat musical in the early 2000s, but it had a very short run. It adapted mostly the second book
the show is seriously AMAZING, i know yall would love it!
You guys really should check out the show! It's a crime that it doesn't have won major awards
Definitely would love to see you two react to the show! It's so so so good!
Adding to the voices that are telling you to watch the show!!! It's so so good.
Check out Queen of the Damned. It’s very 2000s and was a lot of fun
Yes, indeed, if you enjoyed this movie as much as you obviously did, then the show is a must-see. I think we're all eager to watch you both see how all that subtext in the movie becomes text text and more text in the show...
I love how the series accepts the fact that this version/movie exists!
Please watch the show omg it is so so so good!
"sensual beauty to grotesque" pipeline is real 😂 I love this film. And the books. And the AMC series, I think you guys would love it.
daniel was originally supposed to be river phoenix (who was the living image of the character) but he passed away and christian slater stepped in. the show is amazing, you should definitely check it out! petty pumpkins loved it!
30:49 “and crumble they did” I cackled sir.
The show. You need to watch the show. It's a masterpiece of writing and acting, and I know you're gonna love it just like the rest of us fans.
