Gregory Alba & Roxy Striar react to and break down Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Episodes 6 & 7, the AMC series based on Anne Rice’s work, starring Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones) as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid (The Newsreader) as Lestat de Lioncourt, Assad Zaman (Hotel Portofino) as Armand, Delainey Hayles (Too Close) as Claudia, and Roxane Duran (The White Ribbon) as Madeline. Episode 6 builds tension within the Théâtre des Vampires as alliances fracture, secrets surface, and Claudia’s decision to create Madeline directly violates the coven’s laws—setting the stage for catastrophic consequences. As highlighted in the reaction, the growing paranoia around Armand, Santiago, and the coven creates an uneasy atmosphere where it feels like everything is about to collapse . Episode 7 delivers the explosive payoff with the infamous trial, transforming the story into a twisted theatrical performance where truth, memory, and manipulation collide. The return of Lestat completely reframes past events, presenting a new version of the story that challenges everything previously believed, while also revealing just how unreliable each perspective has been. At the same time, the episode delivers one of the most devastating emotional blows of the series through Claudia and Madeline, as their fate unfolds in a horrifying sequence that blends performance, punishment, and spectacle in a way that leaves a lasting impact. Throughout the reaction, Greg & Roxy highlight the brilliance of the storytelling structure—how each character’s version of events reshapes the narrative—while also reacting to the sheer intensity, emotional weight, and shocking reveals that make this stretch of episodes feel like a turning point for the entire series. #InterviewWithTheVampire #IWTV #AMC #Lestat #Claudia #Armand #VampireSeries #TVReaction #AnneRice #TheatreDesVampires Follow *Roxy Striar* https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en https://twitter.com/roxystriar Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG 0:00 Checking in! 02:38 Episode 6 Reaction 27:41 Episode 7 Reaction 51:03 Interview with the Vampire Review PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

"The Vampire Lestat" IS Season 3 of Interview with the Vampire. It is NOT a separate show. That is the title of the second book in Anne Rice's Chronicles which the show is using to emphasize the shift to Lestat's perspective and overall tone of his character. But make no mistake - it is the continuation of THIS story.

Omg, look your guys finally got it, lol. But, seriously, I really appreciate your guys’ effort to get this up. And your enthusiasm and love for the show! It reignites mine. The Vampire Lestat will serve as Season 3 (and, though it obviously isn’t out yet, I think you guys are going to love it). Also, I think your dialogue really gets to the core of what this show is trying to do.

1:07:00 No Greg, you're 100% right cause, as a black viewer, this whole scene read as a lynching. Which wouldn't be too far off given the context of this whole story/the time periods Louise and Claudia are from, etc.

I love that absolutely no one IRL buys Armand's story about Louis asking to erase the memories. A *lot* of people online also pointed out that it'd be real weird for Louis to be taking a shower while he was all burnt to a crisp -- which has led to some hilarious comparisons to the trial in Legally Blonde.

Episodes 5, 6 and 7 were a lot of me looking at Louis and Armand and saying, 'How are they still together after this? No wait, how are they still together after *this*!?'

The actress who plays Madeline was incredible.I also connected with her character with such little screen time.
