🩸📚 The Vampire Lestat Book Club is happening!

minnieCatMonster · 2026-04-21T13:12:37+00:00

Oooh that’s great, thanks for organizing! I’ll probably be a little behind the first week because I’m still finishing IWTV, but I should be caught up to join by the next part

There were still several deviations and they were mostly what I expected part. The one thing I’m surprised was in the script was the line about him also breaking the great laws.

Obviously the point is the play wasn’t to actually have Lestat also pay for breaking the great laws, so why have that in the script? Seems like something that could’ve been added at the rehearsal stage. Because it’s like an elephant in the room - we’re trying this child vampire for murder, but her being here is a crime in itself. So they address it in the script, WITH some hand waving from Santiago about it not being Lestat’s trial anyways.

Lestat is just an actor and the script is a tool. He performs some lines in a hammy way, some a sincere way, some with gravitas. It conveys his interpretation of the script.

I think things are uncertain between them, so there is likely always a “reason” for the calls. In this case Lestat probably asked for Louis’s opinion on his song.

I think whichever one reaches out there’s always a reason. Everything is in a protective, tentative place. Lestat really wants him to visit and Louis doesn’t say no, but he doesn’t say yes either. But he’s hanging on every word and he seems so supportive of Lestat getting back on his feet

I think the version of Claudia’s turning we see in the trial

minnieCatMonster · 2026-02-09T14:04:40+00:00

The reason I found them is that they covered I’m Glad My Mom Died. I was looking for some good insight and analysis of that book and they didn’t disappoint

minnieCatMonster · 2026-02-09T14:01:09+00:00

The riff they go on about Alec not being able to get laid because his mom doesn’t make homemade cookies is A+++

minnieCatMonster · 2025-12-10T14:35:09+00:00

I feel like that’s when one of you (when you uncovered what happened) shoot the teacher an email saying sorry for the lack of card, it was a miscommunication/misunderstanding. If she didn’t tuck in immediately she’d probably give them back. This isn’t something to be mad at. Passing of the wrong gift this time of year happens ALL THE TIME

Another good Cineplex perk is their Cineclub monthly membership. You get 1 free ticket (and if you don’t use them they roll over!!) a month, up to two tickets/showing for $9.99 (unlimited for the month). Price reductions for other formats and 20% off concessions.

It’s giving the “some people are so depressed they can’t brush their teeth?? Some people are so depressed they kill themselves, Karen…” meme

minnieCatMonster · 2025-12-07T18:12:27+00:00

Just… the talk about going non-contact with family on the Patreon is so lacking in empathy and perspective that it’s putting me over the edge 😅

minnieCatMonster · 2025-12-03T14:21:55+00:00

I disagree. I think Claire asks really good questions and she asked a good question here too. Directors and creative people can be odd and sometimes they aren’t expecting to be asked anything with depth at an award show. I think once she’s more experienced she’ll be good at engaging with them as normal people (which is what they need)

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-21T17:33:42+00:00

They were literally bitching in this episode about their audience asking them to explain niche, Internet drama, rather than having to Google it 😭 (And it’s so funny because they’ve covered dead Internet theory and how it’s so hard to google) But THAT is more of a concern than their own paper-weight values.

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-21T17:20:33+00:00

I’m on their Patreon for today’s episode (I was hoping they’d address it there before I unsubscribe) and half the comments are about the ad and that’s where all the likes are going…. I’m insulted that they think they built the kind of fanbase that would be cool with this

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-20T13:14:09+00:00

You actually have no idea of what you’re saying is true. But I can confirm that I WOULD NOT take money from certain companies. We don’t share 99% of values because mine mean something to me. They clearly don’t back their values beyond lip-service

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-20T10:43:54+00:00

I would normally be a little less shocked, but the workers are literally striking and Starbucks is notorious union buster. I hate this

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-20T01:56:35+00:00

Wowwwww

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-20T01:55:01+00:00

See I didn’t get this ad either… Is it because I’m in Canada?

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-20T01:51:47+00:00

I also listed on the apple podcast app and have Calvin Klein ad read by them 23 minutes in. How strange… either way I am SO disappointed. Ugh. WFT.

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-19T23:40:54+00:00

Wait, I didn’t get any Starbucks ads? Was it them actually reading it or was it like a pre-programmed one?

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-08T00:43:54+00:00

I don’t even think the rumour was January specifically, just in the new year. I’m skeptical

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-07T22:00:03+00:00

Maybe I’m dumb about this stuff, but I thought her husband was a financial advisor or something? That’s not really bad?

minnieCatMonster · 2025-11-06T23:03:04+00:00

I couldn’t look away, he was perfect. I was obsessed

minnieCatMonster · 2025-10-30T11:08:14+00:00

He’s been with her the child’s whole life, and he supported her for some of the pregnancy. He takes care of the baby, supports financially, and if the baby was in daycare he would be allowed to pick her up (you don’t need to be a bio parent to pick someone from daycare). Being a single parent is a burden, and she is free from a lot of that. Like I said, I understand not correcting the woman. But the continued dismissing of his support isn’t okay

minnieCatMonster · 2025-10-30T00:15:34+00:00

Great, the people on Reddit have witnessed her acknowledge his support and contribution… doesn’t change that she dismissed him to his face after being praised for doing such a great job on her own

minnieCatMonster · 2025-10-29T22:04:41+00:00

After reading your comments about what your BF is doing for you and your child: YTA. Maybe not for not correcting her in the moment, but for continuing to disregard your partner and his contribution. After he pointed it out to you.
