Ep. 363: Near Dark (1987)

Episode 363 of the GenreCast features our annual Kathryn Bigelow discussion! This time around, we're talking all about vampires and lost boys with a discussion of her 1987 western-horror Near Dark. That's right, Adrian Pasdar, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Jenny Wright are a troupe of renegade vampires cruising the south. Dealing with gender, outsiders, and style in ways that are uniquely her own, Bigelow's Near Dark is a fascinating early entry into her filmography. We tap into all of those elements as we look to flesh out the deeper pieces of Kathryn Bigelow's vampire tale Near Dark.
