  • A New Year, A New Orlok: Nosferatu vs. Nosferatu

    A New Year, A New Orlok: Nosferatu vs. Nosferatu
    Jan 7 2025

    Robert Eggers' new version of Nosferatu is an absolute horror show in the best way possible. With Orlok Fever sweeping the nation, we're taking the opportunity to repost a 2022 episode on F.W. Murnau's century-old original.

    Travis also offers his take on the Eggers adaptation. He promises not to read it as a political allegory, then promptly does it anyway.
