A quick end of the year episode about the new Disney+ short film (40 minutes), Shepherd, based on the Frederick Forsyth novella of the same name. I believe the story is more well known by folks in Britain and former Crown Colonies than it is to American audiences; this was certainly our first experience of the story, and it’s quite delightful.
All the best holiday greetings to all of you, and I hope you have a great New Year.
This time we just roundtable some other Dracula-adjacent material we’ve consumed. Consider it a DVD extra from our previous episode.

The screenplay for The Last Voyage of the Demeter has been passed around Hollywood since the late 90s. It’s finally in theaters, and the screenwriter, Bragi Schut, joins us to talk about the new movie, based on a brief chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. (Chapter 7 “Captain’s Log” if you want to read it.)
We all had a great time at the movie and we hope you enjoy this insightful conversation with Bragi.
