Welcome to the Emma of the Impact the Film Podcast, a podcast that Bites Back! Slowly.In this episode, my old pal Mark Mallman and I discuss Shiver of the Vampires. This is Jean Rollin’s psychedelic 1971 vague, gothic dream, where every castle corridor echoes with color and surreal sensuality.But this episode isn’t just about erotic vampires and avant-garde projectors. Together, we unravel not just the film’s hypnotic aesthetic and cult appeal, but also dive into what it means to be an artist on your own terms.A rally against perfectionism! The celebration of raw creativity, messy editing, and finding joy in the weird corners of cinema. So pour yourself a goblet of red (wine or blood, no judgment), and let’s talk women, grainy film, goofy cousins, and why sometimes the best art doesn’t care if it’s clean. We just need some fun.Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join us in the comments. Let the shivers begin.

This episode's film is His Motorbike, Her Island, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi and released in 1986 — a story about love, freedom, and that delicate moment when two people meet at the intersection of adventure and vulnerability. It’s a movie that feels like summer wind: swift, free, and a little bit bittersweet. Marta was the best person to discuss this movie; she is someone who has a gift for finding the heart in every story.
