Meet Darcy and Dee Dee, co-hosts and co-creators of the Vamps on the Verge Podcast! We are two mildly obsessive and highly distractible friends who bonded over our love of watching movies (and talking over them.) 

We’ve never really related to the characters in RomComs or Academy favorites so we’ve spent our lives pouring over obscure and forgotten genre films to find vamps, vixens, and women on the verge…

We love horror, Giallo, exploitation, camp, sci-fi, fantasy, underground, queer, art-house... all the way from high concept masterpieces down to the trash trash trash. ⁣

The golden rule is, there must be a leading woman. And whenever possible we want to see BIPOC and queer representation.

We won't be covering the usual cult classics on our show, as much as we love them, they’ve been covered. We're always looking for something forgotten, obscure, something that makes us say “Whaaaaat?!!" We hope this podcast will expose you to new movies too! ⁠⁠

We don’t just talk movies, we let movies lead us down the rabbit hole.
