  Aug 2, 20262h 55m

  [BONUS] We conclude our coverage of AMC’s The Vampire Lestat (Season 3 of Interview with the Vampire), tracing Lestat’s erratic trajectory across North America as his rockstar tour, supernatural feuds, and haunting past collide head-on. And returning for various legs of our own tour is horror writer Kim Morrison and podcaster Lauren McAllister...  The Agenda ~ [ 00:00:40 ] "The Devil's Road" with Lauren McAllister Lestat spirals in Albany after Gabriella vanishes yet again, stirring up memories of their travels after Paris.

Louis' unhealthy obsession with Regina deepens, Armand continues to play both sides, and Lestat’s public stage provocations push the coven networks to the edge. ~ [ 01:19:10 ] "Montreal" with Kim Morrison & Lauren McAllister Crossing the border into Canada, deep secrets about Lestat’s maker and lineage resurface, as both Louis and Lestat decide to get some closure with Claudia thanks to a witch and a seance.... ~ [ 02:05:25 ] "The Failures" with Kim Morrison In the season finale, Lestat is stripped of his rockstar bravado and forced to face the internal workings of his mind—confronting the wounded child he was before turning. Meanwhile, Louis suffers an intense interrogation... ️ The Lineup Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hugh McStay⁠ & Hugh McStay⁠⁠ Guests: Kim Morrison⁠ & Lauren McAllister⁠ Editor: ⁠Dan Owen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠Hugh McStay⁠ "Because, Louis, I'm a monster"— Lestat ❤️ Support the Show If you loved our coverage of The Vampire Lestat, here's how you can help us grow: Review: Subscribe & leave a 5* rating on your podcast platform.
