You know, I'm down for a bit and I'm down for some cosplay and I'm pretty much down to do anything for the podcast.

And I'm really down to try anything once, just in general.

I know that.

I worry that the leather pants would be quite loud.

Yeah, due to how often I move while we pod.

I mean, I think that basically every single piece of marketing for the season has been just spectacular, dating back to the first images that were released, you know?

And what a way to draw us in with that, like, whew!

That torso, my goodness.

But yeah, I think the kind of ability to like really present this as something that is like very specific in its format and structure and tone and lean in and full to the rock star, this like seeking of the spotlight and centering and re-centering in the story, both inside of the universe and in kind of a metatextual way in terms of like Lestat,

receding a bit by necessity and then coming back in such a forceful way at the end.

All of that is perfect.

And it's just fun and sexy and cool, which also feels perfect.

So I am delighted and very excited.

I'm really looking forward to like talking about it with you every week.

And I'm also already excited to rewatch the prior seasons and have an excuse to rewatch the prior seasons.

You're so excited.

Yeah.

June 7th.

You know, plenty of time.

It'll be fine.
