The ContrariansBonus! - Bram Stoker's Dracula

It’s common knowledge that Dracula equals Sex. We don’t need to talk about it because it’s so apparent to begin with. Enter Francis Ford Coppola, who didn’t just decide to turn subtext into Obvious Text and make the most sex-driven vampire movie ever, but also stain the reputations of Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins and, of course, Winona Ryder, in the process. Listen to Alex and Julio discuss excess (Coppola’s and Gary Oldman’s) as The Summer of Winona continues with its most libidinous entry yet!
