- On April 30, Princess Weekes and I attended the Season 2 Premiere event, where we watched the first episode of the new season of AMC's Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. We had an amazing time, and sat down together after the party to discuss the show.
Our talk includes spoilers for the Vampire Chronicles books.

Princess and Maven discussing one of my favorite things?! Truly a video made for me in a lab.
100000000000000000% This is pure gold.
I got so excited when I saw them post their pic online and then screamed when I saw they did a vid
Right?! A crossover I thought only I would dream up 😇✨🩵
I love seeing them both together I didn't even know they were friends in real life this is so cute they went to the IWTV premiere together with the fans lol 🤣
THIS IS THE COLLAB I NEEDED!!!!!
I always thought that Armand in the books as a character was Anne Rice's relationship with her faith, ie starts out innocent, then gets corrupted by the real world, then defeated, then found again after life experience and finding a family.
Princess Weeks is awesome!
as a muslim from the middle east. i dont really have a problem with "rashid" or armand being muslim. we all (me and my family and friends) watched it and we lovveed the representation and the accuracy i mean it wasnt 100% but it was one of the best representations ive seen on tv. and having a muslim vampire. i dont think it ties into muslim = bad. jinn exist in islam for us and they also pray to allah so.. idnw i really loved the representation
Oh yeah, for sure!!
My concern with the representation being bad is that he's not just a vampire, but for 300 years, he was also a leader of a satanic cult who's mission was to kill people in the name of god.
@@MavenoftheEventide faaair faaair points. but do we know if he was muslim then or did he convert when they (armand and louis) seemingly move to dubai.. hmmm. i dnt think they'll touch up on it but i hope they do its so exciting to see 😭
ps: cant wait for more iwtv content 4m u♥️♥️♥️♥️
I enjoy your perspective! A question I have is -- in theory, of course -- how would a vampire perform salah? (My knowledge of Islam is limited, and apologize if I worded this weirdly.) While the first two prayers would not seem too challenging, I am curious about how the other three could be performed, considering their timing being based the sun throughout the day & vampires' aversion to sunlight.
@@robertborland5083 thank you! well you can preform salah from anywhere in the world including indoors (like their coffin apartment) as long as he cleans himself properly beforehand and faces Mecca then he can pray. ♥️ happy to answer any questions
@@lunehood846 Thanks! I appreciate it.
Ladies. Love you both, so excited you went to the premier together. So happy you had a wonderful time! 💕
You are both awesome!
I'm so happy to have the show back and you back Maven, and welcome Princess!!! Great breakdown. I loved the show!!! I only had two complaints, when Claudia said "you vampires are the worst!" I feel like no one in that time would say that, and when Louie said "don't mess with a magical vodka negro!" Louie wouldn't say that, other than that I loved it!
My school didn't have a vampire course (I wish!), but it did have a witchcraft course (that was cool!).
This was such a wonderful video. You guys should do this weekly break down the new episodes! ❤🖤❤🖤
I wish we could! But we live in two different states 😭 I'll still be doing weekly breakdowns of all the episodes on my own, though
love love love hearing the nuanced conversation happening here. As a cis het white person, I definitely appreciate hearing the layers that I may have missed upon first watching this new show, and it's eye-opening to a new perspective of interpretation.
omg, crossover of the century :D
I am here for this collaboration. I love this
This was wonderful I hope she can come back more but at least for a season recap
It’s been 87 years I never thought I would see the day 🥹
I’m so happy yall are friends!!
Love this discussion + breakdown! Can't wait for the next
I was a busty lady early on too, Princess. :) Not finding bras that fit because your parents want you in training bras still. Or tank tops under clothes. Doesn’t work. :/ Then creepy guys look you up and down. Ugh. Or your mom wants you to literally bind them down as too not be too sexual. Even now, when I wear certain clothing, even not so low cut tops, people will comment like it is sexual and obscene where women with tiny busts can go without bras or wear very revealing tops and not be seen as sexual at all. Why is this?
greatest collab !
wooo, crossover time!
In the books, Armand is a bit on the edge of maturity in terms of his outward age or how old he appears. It would have been good to see that dynamic with an older Claudia, however, Rashid/Armard is older in appearance than in the book.
What if Armand was Muslim and converted to his satanic cult for a while until he was free from the coven and reverted back when left to his own devices? In the books, he wasn't Christian, until he was kidnapped and forced to take on that mantle. Or maybe he was Cristian and after the Theater coven was destroyed he found Islam on his own. There are a number of ways Armand can become Muslim without offending anyone.
A teenage girl and an adult woman's physical relationship might be a mistake. I understand from the book's perspective the intellectual/emotional/spiritual relationships of the vampires, but by crossing the physical threshold as they have done in the series and taking the a-sexual to fully sexual they have made a choice that might limit their options for Claudia.
I think Claudia will be killed for the crime of killing Antoinette and Louis will be let off because as Daniel has already pointed out to Louis, he left Lestat alive.
Also when there do Queen of the dammed. Do metalcore
Hi are ever going to a review of the 2020 3 part BBC Dracula ?
PRINCESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
I believe a f/f relationship between claudia and madeline would work. I understand princess's sentiments but in the queer community, there is a wide range of perspectives on age-gap same-sex relations... its tricky-- especially regarding f/f. Yes, women are just as sexual as men and can be predatory but wlw romance is just.... something else entirely. I could see madeline being intrigued with Claudia and romantic feelings building off the back of a platonic connection. There was an instant draw between the two in book/movie. So I would not find a problem with them taking that approach.
Did Princess make a Forever Knight reference? :)
Both beautiful ❤❤❤
The Dark makeup is giving me un-life!!!
I don't know, the fact that lestats hair is longer in "hallucinations ", feels like he is somehow taunting louis from his slumber. In the books he's capable of seeing thru even other vampire minds..
True, but not through Louis's. Lestat and Louis's minds are completely blocked to each other as maker and fledgling. Lestat could perhaps be watching Louis through the eyes of the humans around Louis. In the book, he doesn't have that level of psychic powers yet (he gets it after he drinks MUCH MORE of Akasha's blood in Queen of the Damned). But the show has significantly increased his powers ahead of time, so maybe he could. He would have to know where to look, though, and it would take ages to psychically scour the whole world to just so happen to find a mortal mind who had eyes on Louis at any given point (Marius tries this for over a thousand years looking for Pandora, and never succeeds). And even if he managed that, he would only be on the outside looking in, still completely blocked from Louis's mind and anything going on in his head, hallucinations or otherwise.
So, should I get in my car and drive there right now? :) 59:01
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
Wouldn’t the symbol be a crescent? So a cross, a Star of David and the crescent would have the same power against vampires? How about the Wicca pentagram? Gets tricky. There is the Peacock Angel in the Yezidi culture in Kurdistan. It is seen as Satan in some views, which has been proved wrong with time, yet it could make for a discussion on culture. That could be a good vampire tale. :) How does a vampire born into this react? Especially if born into this decades ago?
OOH Cool
I sort of wish they would have aged Madeline down ... like maybe Claudia met the dress makers daughter.. it's strange they didn't make that tweek
I’m into Vampires, but they can be a pain in the neck at times. I hope you got my pun.
Armand is supposed to be a teenage vampire right? Or at least teenage when he was turned.
They changed that for the show. He's in this 20s now.
I thought Madeline was substituting Claudia for her dead daughter. Doesn’t it get a bit Mayfair-y if they had a romantic relationship?
there's a scene in the trailer where it looks like Louis and Claudia are feeding off of her, so we shall see
They’re not actually blood related though. We don’t know yet what the nature of their relationship is in the series
@@ihavenonamep But if Madeline is a stand in for a mom, a stepmom…it’s still a bit incest-y.
@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 Do you have confirmation she is a mother figure? She’s not a five year old like in the books.
@@ihavenonamep I just assumed it would go that way. But, since Louis tried to kill Lestat is Claudia’s fate still sealed?
They made it so gay
It was always a bit gay
But now its absolutely flaming
There are shows like ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT where all the characters are so unique and so self centered, they don't fit together and that's the actual appeal of their story.
Like a pearl necklace, all the characters are part of an ensemble, but they are like tiny islands divided by knots.
In this show, it's the exact opposite.
All the characters need each other, they neutralize the 'negative' traits of the others.
Louis is too indecisive, too moody, too docile ... too boring compared to the other individuals.
Don't get me wrong, I still love him.
Lestat is too calculating, too cruel, too disloyal ... all that dishonesty makes him unlikable and turns him into the villain of the story.
He needs the love of Louis as an incentive to work on himself (or pretend harder) and it's Claudia's opposition that keeps him on his toes.
Claudia is too reckless, too obnoxious and too uncomprehending ... the forever teenager.
Her mind might be evolving to a certain point, but she has the same emotional intelligence throughout the story - the other vampires are the same.
These and other characters can't exist on their own, they can't entertain the audience on their own.
Like a chemical bond, they activate each other and become digestible for us.
I think that's why they are obsessed with finding a companion, otherwise they might end up like a shark that stops moving.
I know you're not trying to look like gender flipped Louis and Lestat but you pulled it off. :)
Women amirite???? ❤
There was an actor in the film Queen of the Damned that really seemed Armand to me. I think he should have curls and be younger. I am confused by the aging up of the actors in the show. :/
You are actually right that's armand in the film but played by a different actor I much prefer antonio version than the one in the sequel I do like the tv version of armand so far
I think they should have aged Claudia to 18,the child vampire concept just isn't very workable.
But then it destroys the point of her, growing into an adult, but being in a child’s body and how she has to navigate that.
@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 I hear what you're saying,but it's a minefield. Stealing mortality from the young is controversial enough.
@@ScarlettDaleWoodallYet Kirsten Durst did such a good job of it in the movie…is there not a younger actor who can do the same thing in the show? I am not sure what you are saying by “stealing morality”. I don’t think there is anything about Claudia that is immoral. She is a adult in a child body eventually and I think her trying to kill Lestat was a defensive mechanism. It is hard for me to believe Claudia from the first season is a child when she was the same height as the policeman in that one scene were he calls her “little girl” or something like that. I had the same problem with Javi in Yellowjackets. If you have seen Yellowjackets, that is. :)
This is a stupid take. It forcibly ties her to any adult vampire, not just her parents, she can't be independent without suspicion. It makes her a tragic character. With your moronic suggestion, she has no reason to even be in the book at all.
@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 I mean to say that making a young adult a vampire is enough dark controversy for the writers to work with. The violence adds an element as well. I don't think the additional controversy of her being a child is required for drama. It' not to question anyone's talent,and Claudia is certainly more innoccent then most vampires. :)
I would love to know your thoughts on the movie Abigail. 🩸
