A funny thing about this week's episode is that Berry got his start playing in clubs where he would do comedic songs.

The funny thing about Snuff Box is that they were told to just do whatever as long as it came under budget because the show was just a time slot filler.

I was just thinking, have vampires ever had any lore where they can echolocate?

Because I think Nadja echolocating in the sewers is straight up new vampire mythology.

Its such a simple thing too. Vampires can turn into bats, why wouldn't they learn to echolocate?

When was echolocation even discovered, versus when did a lot of vampire media come out?

There's a ton of weird vampire lore, echolocation being the stand in for vampires being able to hunt people in the dark isn't too crazy. Hell, even among these vampires they all have different skills and abilities. The college student Nadja sired could turn invisible, and none of the vampires were really shocked by it and I don't think that's a standard vampire thing.

I love this show for so many reasons, but the one that surprises me the most is how much mileage they get out of Colin. When I first started watching I really wondered how they were going to stretch his bit out longer than a single episode. But they just keep knocking it out of the park.

Every time they're in a scrape I expect Guillermo to murderize his way out of things but doing a long impromptu shark tank pitch about vampire semen was even better! The goat is "black peter" which is also an amazing spooky name.

Aw yeah, love that song.

Black Peter (I'm guessing that's a play on Black Philip from The VVitch) was so cute :3: I appreciated Nander's happy exclaim of "Hello Mr. Goat!" because that's exactly how I would have reacted to finding a demon goat in my backyard.

Guillermo is so great at dealing with supernatural bullshit, and to the surprise of no one it turns out Laszlo and Nander have been having the occasional casual hook up.

Anyways, see you later Black Peter. Gotta go!

The Nadja part slayed me. You expect for them to do the switcheroo and put Nadja's actress interpreting the witch while another one does the Nadjia part without seeing her face, but instead it's just like normal makeup and a wig. Making the joke about how Lazlo will gently caress anything close enough. The 'she is doing a generic european accent!' is also pretty good, as it's really what the actress does in reality!

Don't forget his all-purpose deadpan 'gently caress you'.

Check out Berry's Opium album -- it's very much connected to the music (especially the theme) from Snuff Box. Rich Fulcher (who I know is marmite, but I'm still hoping he makes an appearance in What We Do in the Shadows) makes a very interesting Mama Cass Elliot.

And for folks just discovering his music, Toast of London has a song in every episode...Berry is also partly responsible for a pisstake of Jesus Christ Superstar called AD/BC.

I really really want a Matt Berry/Stephen Toast satnav.

Meanwhile: just saw the first trailer for WWDitS on the BBC; I knew it started next week, but last night was the first promo I've seen. We've been watching the episodes weekly as they somehow accidently end up on our TV screen. Not sure of the process; will have to ask ColinRobinson about it.

I took it as she was upset that he couldn't tell the difference between her and a woman who looked vaguely like her and barely sounded a thing like her.

Nandor declaring,"We tell no one about this!" directly in front of the camera crew was great, but I think my favorite camera crew joke this week was the witch chatting to Guillermo, inviting him in back and then adding,"Bring the cameras with you!"

I was referring specifically to Nadja getting mad about Laszlow hooking up with Nandor, aka the life of the orgy and the guy who was present when she started giving Laszlow a handy in a previous episode. All three all seem pretty...free with one another. Not like Laszlow admitted to hooking up with Colin Robinson or something that put her over the edge.

God y’all made me just type all those words and I hate you for it. :argh:

You guys are really showing yourselves as never having been in an orgy. Nadja is mad because lazlo is doin poo poo outside of the orgy setting without her knowledge or consent and also easily confusing anything with black hair and an accent as his wife! It's the difference between having an orgy where your wife participates and sneaking out to have a little rough at a motel 6. bad form you know.

Including Nandor, who she mentioned to showcase how ludicrous the idea was only to discover that yes of course Laszlo made that mistake too :allears:

Besides the humor, I really enjoy the spin this show puts on monsters and cryptozoology in general - the various cabals, werewolves, zombies, trolls, colinrobinsons, warlocks, and now witches, are hilarious and just a little skewed off the standard tropes.

Props to the guys involved, besides being funny as hell, WWDITS is IMO also a legit low-key urban fantasy show. Not bad for an unassuming movie spin-off!

I was in Salem, MA last year and there were a bunch of boogie holistic boutiques all over the place. So it's totally accurate.
