DAC Episode 111: Making it Work (Takes a little longer)

Greetings! This is Destroy All Culture, your pop culture podcast of choice. On today’s favourite podcast of yours, Adam and Aidan talk about Killjoys episode 4.07, “O Mother Where Art Thou?” As often happens, untangling the character work on Killjoys leads to a discussion on the creativity and craft of writing.

Around the 27 minute mark we get into an episode of Wynonna Earp (3.07, “I Fall to Pieces”) that Adam enjoyed and Aidan decidedly did not. At 41:00 we move into a discussion of phone technology, but at 1:00 we launch into the weirdness of Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which is really an appreciation of Tom Waits’ acting career. “If your Renfield is scarier than Dracula, you have a problem,” says Adam, which are words to live by, especially if you’re adapting Dracula. The episode ends with Adam’s Greatest Tom Waits Story Ever, which is indeed great.
