About this listen

In this episode, we sink our teeth into The Addiction (1995), Abel Ferrara’s moody, black-and-white vampire film that’s as much about Sartre and sin as it is about blood. We unpack the heavy philosophy behind the movie’s take on evil, addiction, and moral decay — and ask whether vampirism is just a metaphor for being human. Along the way, we wrestle with Nazi imagery, existential dread, and whether philosophy helps or just makes everything way more confusing.
