This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve & Ryan take part in the absinthe-fueled sexy insanity that is possessive-filled Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. They bask in the heavenly glow that is Keanu Reeve's acting, Gary Oldman's ability to make the ladies' wild even in a wrinkly beast suit, and how simultaneously sexy & smelly the Victorian era must have been.

An adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel. Gary Oldman plays Dracula whose lonely soul is determined to reunite with his lost love, Mina (Winona Ryder). In Britain, Dracula begins a reign of terror and seduction draining the life from her closest friend, Lucy (Sadie Frost). Together they try and drive Dracula away.
