Any episode of What We Do in the Shadows involving Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry) and Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak) attempting anything remotely practical is likely to be a comedic goldmine. In “March Madness,” airing Monday, November 18, our favorite Staten Island vampires turn their attention to demonic possession, specifically, a demon that’s taken up residence in their luckless neighbor, Sean (Anthony Atamanuik).
This seems like a pretty terrible idea, no? Laszlo, perpetually preoccupied with his topiary and Nadja’s (Natasia Demetriou) topiary and Nandor, usually preening or bemoaning his lost glories as an ancient warrior, aren’t exactly the go-to guys for handling sensitive supernatural affairs. Yet, here we are, on the cusp of another doomed-to-fail scheme. The episode appears likely to be full of their usual inept fumbling and disastrous solutions.
Seriously though, who would entrust an exorcism to these guys? It’s like calling a plumber to do your electrical wiring — the results are probably going to be explosive, just not in the way you hoped. We’re probably in for another round of Guillermo cleaning up the mess, and sighing deeply.
Tune in to FX on Monday, November 18 at 10/9c for “March Madness” and witness the inevitable carnage.
