In this episode, the Retro Movie Geek crew is joined by Tyson Hanks (check out more from Tyson here), and they’re geeking out over Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) and

Murphy and Craven making two different movies
the movie being neither good or bad
a good cast
the “lack” of a strong soundtrack
and much, much more!

Synopsis:

Eddie Murphy’s got the bite stuff in this movie mix of bone-chilling horror and chill-out comedy directed by Wes Craven. As the vampire Maximillian, the popular star is the most diabolical, dashing, and definitely undead dude in the ‘hood. To add to the macabre fun, Murphy morphs into two other must-see characters: a pauncy preacher and a fast talking thug.

Angela Bassett plays the cop whose world is rocked by Maximillian’s attempts to make her his mate for eternity. And Kadeem Hardison is the haplessly decaying vampire’s sidekick who (a hand here, and ear there) is forever losing things. Brooklyn may be home to the undead now that Max is around – but that means it’s livelier than ever!
