Show us your Pitts! Brad Pitt starred in two films based on books that are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, so "Pitt Fest" starts with a movie you can really sink your teeth into! Mark welcomes mistress of the dark Sabrina Santoro back on the show to discuss the November chiller Interview with the Vampire from Anne Rice and Neil Jordan for its 30th anniversary. This successful moody drama has Brad with long hair, Tom Cruise with blonde hair, and little Kirsten Dunst in tight curls making her breakthrough performance. And Cher was almost going to be in it?! We support gay vampires!
