Greg Alba & Roxy Striar react to and break down Interview With The Vampire Season 2 Episode 8, starring Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones, Broadchurch) as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid (The Newsreader, Belle) as Lestat de Lioncourt, Assad Zaman (Hotel Portofino, Small Axe) as Armand, Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio, Succession) as Daniel Molloy, and Delainey Hayles as Claudia. Following the devastating events in Paris, Louis is forced to confront the emotional and psychological fallout of everything that’s happened between himself, Lestat, and Armand. The finale pushes the series deeper into themes of grief, manipulation, memory, and toxic love while unraveling long-buried truths that completely reshape how the story has been understood. Key moments include the emotionally charged confrontations between Louis and Armand, revelations surrounding Lestat’s role in past events, and Daniel Molloy’s growing realization that the story he’s been hearing may not be entirely truthful. The episode balances gothic horror, emotional devastation, and character-driven drama in a way that continues to set this adaptation apart. With standout performances, haunting visuals, and major revelations that redefine multiple relationships, Season 2 Episode 8 delivers a powerful conclusion that leaves huge implications for the future of the series. #InterviewWithTheVampire #IWTV #AMC #Lestat #Louis #VampireSeries #TVReaction #AnneRice #HorrorSeries #reaction 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 0:00 Checking In! 1:44 Interview With The Vampire 2x8 Reaction 35:48 Interview With The Vampire 2x8 Review 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/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia 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 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
