For the thrilling conclusion to Season 1 of What If I Don’t Like It?, Kt Baldassaro is joined by the iconic Bonnie Burton—writer, journalist, and pop culture enthusiast known for her work in the worlds of geek culture, including Star Wars fandom and beyond. In this episode, Bonnie tackles Interview with the Vampire (1994), the film adaptation of Anne Rice’s beloved novel. Despite her status as an Anne Rice superfan, Bonnie has famously avoided watching this one for years, all because of a single, polarizing casting choice: Tom Cruise as Lestat! Will Bonnie find a surprising appreciation for the movie after all this time, or will it confirm her instincts? Tune in for a passionate, hilarious, and thought-provoking season finale as Bonnie and Kt dive deep into the film’s allure—and possible flaws!
