Hey Roadies! As always we left a couple of points kind of open from the last episode (we have to work on that) so we wanted to wrap them up here;
The Netflix series we talked about on this episode is simply called Dracula and the star is in fact a Danish actor named Claes Bang. As I said I'd never heard of him but it looks like he's been in alot of movies so maybe you have.
And YES, there are only three episodes...
I talked a little about the concept of a patronymic, and while I predicted I'd screw it up I was only about half right, or wrong, depending how you look at it.
What we're talking about is basically a middle name, usually used by friends and close acquaintances, based on the given name of your father. The female equivalent is matronymic and if it were derived from your grandparent's name it would be an avonymic.
In Russia or Slavic countries if your father's name was Ivan, your middle name would be Ivanovich. The English equivalent is applied to family names. Johnson being "Son of John", etc.
The 1931 film Dracula starring Bela Lugosi in the title role and Helen Chandler as Mina Murray was NOT a silent film.
We may have cleared it up during the episode but I can't remember so just in case, the ship that brought Count Dracula from Transylvania to England was the Demeter.
For the record; by definition a fetish is a sexual excitement in response to an object or body part that's not typically sexual, such as shoes or feet and they’re more common in men surprise, surprise.
Some of the words we stumbled over this episode had to do with draining someone's blood. One word I mis-used was exsanguination. I thought this was the act of draining someone's blood when technically it means death caused by loss of blood.
Related to that, and where Blondie was going, was sanguineous drainage. That's the first drainage or the fresh red blood that a wound (yes, or bite) produces when it first happens.
