This is genius! I can't believe they found a real energy vampire to interview the cast! Brilliant!

[@melikairandoost9587]

Lol

[@user-cy3lp4cl7j]

SHOTS FIRED

[@janedoe7025]

Everyone in the room picked up on it too, such an awkward silence 🤣🙈

[@zurzakne-etra7069]

that's nate!

[@archnemesis8271]

It's good to see representation in media

[@spamaccount6460]

It's a shame that this took place after people had only seen the pilot. If it was after the whole season, they'd have actual questions to ask the actors.

[@user-nh1og5hy1u]

Ya and a bigger crowd

[@agro.pinpineapple]

is that what happened?? 🤔 thanks!

[@melgirrl1245]

I would be happy to watch this show every night for the rest of my life!

[@timothyspencer2861]

only because of her

[@mamamize7327]

Me, too!! The movie was hilarious. But this show ends to soon. I love every character on here..lol

[@yellowblanka6058]

They barely talked to Matt Berry and Natasha, and they're the center of so much of the humor in the show.

[@meu02136]

They talked to Matt Berry though.

[@yellowblanka6058]

@@meu02136 I said they barely talked to him, he said a few words and was silent.

[@TheTruthKiwi]

I don't think Matt really wanted to be there tbh

[@AttiMatter]

Yeah they only asked Natasia like one question lol

[@rhanlon70]

Matt seemed super shy. Maybe just overwhelmed? The one answer he did give was thoughtful and sincere and gentle. I think Comic-Con scared the shit out of him.

[@Monkofmagnesia]

I was worried because it was a new cast with different characters but every episode has been true to the original, and, in at least one episode, the original characters were back! I love the movie and this extension.

[@alexjenkins7638]

The latest episode was so good! The original cast plus lots of actors who have played famous vampire roles. I am so glad this has been renewed for a second series. I'm so happy the TV show was at least 'as good' as the film was. Amazing how few people even know the film exists let alone the TV show.

[@Monkofmagnesia]

@@alexjenkins7638 Renewed?!? That news really brightened my day. Thank you for letting us know!

[@dominiquee901]

I was nervous that pilot episode but since the show has aired I’ve probably seen each episode at least 5 times. Just like the movie, it just stays so funny

[@Monkofmagnesia]

[@tdearsan]

we stumbled across this odd show on hulu. IT. IS. MY. FAVOURITE!!

[@Zlartybartfarst]

Lol clement explaining what an energy vampire is to the interviewer,classic irony

[@haskellbob]

They might as well have used cardboard cutouts of the cast of the TV show (with the exception of Colin Robinson) and its writer. If I were any of them I'd be really pissed about how this was handled. I thought especially Sarah, the writer, should have been allowed to speak about her work, since it is "unseen" and this was surely a rare appearance for her.

[@AFMmovies]

That was seriously one of the best red carpets. We got a chance to speak to every cast member and the creators. Kayvan is hilarious.

[@Jack-rk7jc]

The interviewer guy walked in thinking this was about interview with the vampire... The relationship question about Laszlo and Nadja was so telling lol how is it that so often they pick interviewers that have never seen what they're interviewing actors about? oml

[@squeezy1001]

This interview is hilarious in an awkward but yet still funny way

[@ceciliayang3868]

Loved the show, but this interview is just painful to watch......It seems that the cast is forced to go through this and they are really not interested in answering any kind of questions.

[@gameworldintel9924]

Felt the same way, I did like Collin the most though lol

[@stuartkseels]

IKR. Kayvan is usually a great laugh, but it looks like none of them wanted to be there.

[@marshhen]

The interviewer does not seem to know the show that well. That makes it less interesting for them.

[@n__rtu8324]

OhhhhhhhWow Love it Jemaine! 3:20 Sorry America but this had me ROFL - the producer woman's reluctance to laugh is Gold as well. Love Kiwi humour because they are soooo good at self-deprecation!!

[@gregchapman5125]

Yeah exactly! The way she physically pulled away from Taika also shows her resentment at the joke.

[@lanabotwin162]

Only got to see two episodes so far and I already want 5 seasons.

So glad to see a show was made, and what a nice surprise to see Matt Berry!

[@alexjenkins7638]

Perfectly cast.

[@baron6797]

FAATTHEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!

[@radsy5821]

"you just have to explain things a lot more" Only the kiwis and brits got that joke.

[@crankyturtle9704]

I’m pretty sure everyone who’s not American did.

[@leenickson5271]

Man they all seem so socially awkward I love it 😂, they're all Colin Robinson's

[@lfcwilli]

Getting Matt berry on board was a genius move

[@jimcameron9848]

As an 824 year old vampire, and as a method actor consultant on the set, the writers have stayed very close to vampire canon.

[@perishonimpact]

Jim the Vampire!

[@gaspanda]

I like how it takes the essence of the film but it is its own thing too. The characters are great and I love the female vampire whose name I can't remember -her expressions are great

[@lalalia]

Jemaine and Taika are hilarious here but it feels like everyone else doesn't know how to react. Also it's just too many people for a panel, especially when no one has any decent questions for the actors. But the "Why did the American setting appeal to you?"/"The people who are paying us to make it are from America"/"Was there anything exciting about the setting?"/"You just have to explain things a lot more" exchange was so funny, as was "6.1%" and "5 /2 minutes", them bantering with the audience, Taika getting up and doing the TED talk strut. I really enjoyed it despite the weird atmosphere.

[@jellofarce]

Sadly, this unfortunate interviewer was in WAY over his head.

[@daveinindy]

He didn't help. At all. But holy cow, 3/4 of the producers/writers and 2/3 of the cast were channeling their best impersonations of energy vampires (Mark & Harvey & Jermaine at least showed some interest in being entertaining).

[@radam282]

As for the interview, the new zealander accent reaction from both the guys was hilarious.

[@jennylewis443]

The writer also worked in Atlanta! Ughhh yasss it all makes sense😍

[@devkhatri6444]

Taika looks like a re-incarnation of Dev Anand, India's mega bollywood star from the 70s and 80s. Its so uncanny 😮

[@elvatonegro4880]

I love the show and all characters are great but man, Colin Robinson is just so good, the fact that the energy vampires really exist it makes it so funny

[@JamesFaction]

Jemaine is the best cultural ambassador for NZ ever. Apart from Taika.

[@janicebelfiore856]

Still waiting for Jenna to return. Those were the best episodes!

[@oliveraeternus3285]

Thank gods The BBC still has funny shows like this in amongst all the shite. Brilliant cast

Matt looks like he just stole the "granny coat" after waking up in the wolves enclosure in the Zoo from "an American Werewolf in London". LOL to an obscure reference no one will get.

[@spockjazz4929]

3:19 That moment when Jemaine called Americans stupid xD

[@lisanathan5939]

“We have to explain things more” 😂 from a NZ perspective this joke is hilarious becos NZders can often communicate thru head nods and eyebrow raising - no explanation needed.

[@muttleycrew]

Taika Waititi laughed for a solid minute. Gold.

[@preachercaine]

"you just have to explain things a lot more" It's true, look at the comments section here. A lot of what was going on during the panel flew right over many people's heads, it seems.

[@jasonjlloyd]

I loved the movie and thought no no bad idea but now love the series even more. Perfect casting. Such talent.

[@DokkaChapman]

Matt Berry looks like he's got some severe jet lag going on.

[@chaicoffeecup]

[@migsbro]

Love the show and the new vampire types, leaves room for like a financial vampire etc.

[@mowganashwey]

Man, the interview-energy comments cracked me up, but I swear, any interview I watch it seems the one on the mic gets run through the mud 😅 he wasn't spectacular but I don't think he drained the energy in the room!

[@raitoxote]

Better than GOT, just saying

[@kloggmonkey]

sure, i know mark from all the 'on cinema'-related bits with tim heidecker but i think from now on he'll be forever branded as the energy vampire. like as soon as he speaks i imagine him draining someone.

No wonder Colin Robinson is a favorite

[@alexjenkins7638]

Well actually Colin Robinson is a nice guy. He works hard during the day you know and he also works hard at night. You know with his schedule of filming for the series was hard but he got through it. You know the building the actually filmed in used to be an old castle and you know they had to get the rights to film there. Which was troublesome, but in the end they were allowed to film it there and I am actually feeding off you right now.....

Nandor and Colin seems to be the only one who wasn’t stoned for the first time in their lives. This is one of the weirdest and most awkward Q&A’s I have seen. Stefani looks like she is sad, which is understandable. She hardly got to interact. The energy vampire was so uncomfortable that he started purging energy, I mean that says a lot.
