It’s time for another gorgeous vampire film as we finally tackle Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In (2008). Along for the ride is The Beauty of Horror‘s Chandler Bullock, who connects deeply with the depiction of bullying in the film. Expect all three of us to get very candid!
In addition to bullying, we unpack a multiplicity of trans readings for Eli, the eternal 12-year-old vampire, as well as debate at length whether the end of the film is a tragedy, a love story, or both.
Plus: Trace’s thirst for child blood, Chandler and Trace’s take on the stage production, a missed Oscar opportunity and Joe fills in the gaps between the book, the Swedish film and its American remake.

At about two and a half hours, I'm going to download that and listen in the car. Not sure about America but it's available on Audible in the UK (I have a Prime account, don't know if you need that to get the free podcasts)
"For a few seconds Oskar saw through Eli’s eyes. And what he saw was … himself. Only much better, more handsome, stronger than what he thought of himself. Seen with love."
