Strange and Beautiful Book Club

We are joined by Erik Hanson of the "Cradle to the Grave" Podcast to discuss a little known Jude Law vampire movie called "Wisdom of the Crocodiles" or, more inanely, "Immortality." Although the movie in no way mentions immortality and thats generic and I'm not receiving it right now. I first saw this movie back when the internet was still delivered to your mailbox via discs in little red envelope...

In which we discuss the entertaining but not deep fantasy epic of 2009 starring James Purefoy as the bad-ass puritan warrior involuntarily bound for Hell.  References: The Wisdom of the Crocodiles The IT Crowd Breath of Fire 2 Smoke Signals Being Human (UK Version) The Watchmen There's more from the Strange and Beautiful Network!

Matt and I delve deep into the 1998 Noir masterpiece that starred Rufus Sewell and Jennifer Connelly along with William Hurt and so many more surprising actors. This is a perennial favorite in our house and we hope you love hearing us chat about it. As always, please be sure you've watched the movie first unless you dearly love spoilers (It can happen, I love them very much.) Random references in...

We had more fun than a barrel full of murderous teenagers possessed by the Beast. We cover everything from the clinical definition of erotic to the fact that Matt, for once, is happy there isn't more nudity. This movie gave us a lot to chat about and CHAT WE DID. If what you've been missing in life is an hour and forty five minutes of Megan Fox snarking and snacking her way through the high school...

The long awaited (by some anyways) episode on Everything Everywhere All At Once or the universally loved comedy hit of 2022 that Matt and Rachel....kind of didn't enjoy as much as the hype suggested they would. We get into the details on why we weren't wowed in the episode and we were so discombobulated by out strange dislike of this movie that we have invited Kate to join us for a special "In Def...

Our last episode of 2022! How fitting that it's the 20th episode. We LOVED this movie and had, despite what I thought when I scheduled it, never seen it before! It tells the romantic, campy, unabashedly romantic tale of a woman who falls in love with the vampire (Adam Ant) who has been snoozing in her basement for the last 100 years. It's sweet, it's sappy, and it's full of borderline offensive 90...
