The Campfire: Morbius
Notes de l’épisode
Welcome back to the Campfire — our new bonus section! In this episode, Rebecca regales us with the utterly nonsensical plot of Morbius as a (formerly) passionate Marvel fan. Hannah questions the difference between “living vampires” and “dhampirs,” ponders the feeding habits of vampire bats, and gets confused about science and the mechanics of blood-draining. They come to the conclusion that the director has never encountered any animal ever in his life and touch on the important connection between vampire media and the AIDS epidemic — as well as the responsibilities writers have to consider the implications of their metaphors.
Come vamps, join us around the campfire.
