From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Our special guest on this episode is Julia Elenoir, vocalist of Italian melodic death metal band 5Rand.

This episode, we cracked open one of the wildest genre-swerves of the ‘90s — From Dusk Till Dawn. You think you’re settling in for a gritty crime thriller… and then the movie grabs you by the collar and hurls you straight into vampire chaos. No warning. No mercy. Just blood, neon, and Tex-Mex mayhem.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by (and co-starring) Quentin Tarantino, this 1996 cult classic stars George Clooney as the cool-headed criminal Seth Gecko and Tarantino himself as the deeply unhinged Richie Gecko. Toss in a haunted ex-pastor, a hostage family, a desert border crossing, and a strip club called the Titty Twister… and you’ve got cinematic gasoline just waiting for a match.
