Ashley and Joel delve into the film 'Once Bitten,' exploring its representation of 80s cinema tropes, Jim Carrey's early career, and the impact of Lauren Hutton's character. They discuss the film's humorous take on virginity and sexuality, teenage angst, and parental relationships, while also addressing the portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. The conversation highlights the film's comedic elements and its cultural significance, providing a nostalgic look at teenage experiences in the 80s.

They explore various themes such as the implications of going to a second location, the absurdity of a dance-off in a non-musical film, and the humorous yet problematic portrayal of vampire lore. The conversation also touches on the characters' relationships, the ridiculousness of certain scenes, and the nostalgia associated with 80s films. Ultimately, they reflect on the film's cultural significance and the lessons learned from its absurdities.
