   Episode 418: Underworld (2003) | Horror Review | Normies Like Us Podcast

   Underworld (2003) - EP 419 Spooktober continues, Normies! This week, we're trading our zombie outbreaks for an ancient blood feud as we sink our teeth into the leather-clad, blue-tinted world of Underworld (2003)! That's right, it's vampires versus werewolves, and apparently the only way to settle a centuries-old supernatural conflict is with automatic weapons, trench coats, and an absolutely unreasonable amount of hair gel! Join your hosts as they follow Kate Beckinsale's Selene, a vampire Death Dealer caught in the middle of a war between bloodsuckers and Lycans, only to discover that everything she knows about the conflict might be a lie. Directed by Len Wiseman, this gothic action-horror hit helped define the early 2000s supernatural aesthetic and launched a franchise that refused to stay dead. But does this stylish monster mash still have bite, or is it just The Matrix with fangs? From Bill Nighy's delightfully dramatic Viktor to Michael Sheen's surprisingly sympathetic werewolf revolutionary, we're breaking down the mythology, the monster transformations, the industrial soundtrack, and the seemingly endless supply of black leather. Plus, we're asking the important questions: Why do vampires need so many guns? Who thought ultraviolet bullets were a good idea? And can we finally admit the werewolves might have a point? The war has begun, Normies! So sharpen your fangs, load your silver bullets, and pick a side, because we're going underground to uncover the secrets of Underworld on Normies Like Us!

[…] It's not winking. And like that is very unique to this kind of specific time period that we're in. Yeah. I want to say it's 2003. We're watching this. There's no Avengers. There's not really a lot of superhero movies. There's no Twilight. So a lot of like... raising for vampires is sort of like like that writer jacob is really he's drawing from anne rice he's drawing from a lot of like interview with a vampire and going like if i can take those dark themes and put them in a modern context and things like death dealers yes they would have been like the knights you know like the killers for these vampire covens back in the day and modern times wouldn't they be people with leather and nine millimeter guns OK, that's an idea and a jumping off point.
