Outtakes: Book Talk with Kate (Murderbot 1 and 2)

Strange and Beautiful Book Club ·

2023/01/12

Topics we meandered to include but are not limited to: * That time I tried showing the kids "The Mummy" because I thought it was a comedy and I made them all cry. (What? That movie is really funny! Right?) * How much we are loving the Serpent and the Wings of Night (Pod incoming) * Taking Peyote to improve reading speed and comprehension * The economics of audible book selections * F**cked up 90's kids movies and why the Brave Little Toaster made my son cry.

2023/01/10

Another gloriously golden ping-pong episode with Rachel and Kate as we discuss the first two novellas in the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. Scifi at it's very best which is culturally on the bleeding edge the line between a good story and good lesson for modern times. Fabulous (probably) autisitic, non-binary construct who is designed for murder and mayhem but would really rather watch "The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon."If you love the fun, giggly but meaningful atmosphere of a book

In this weeks episode of Forever Knight, Nick confronts his greatest enemy yet, a demanding Natalie. After her brother is wounded at the police station, Natalie sees Nick's condition as a way of saving someone she loves but will he, like Nick seems to think, be doomed to a life not worth living? Or will he beat the odds and become a good guy vampire? We shall see! In the weeks impromptu media suggestions I mention Ultraviolet which is a BBC miniseries from the 90's staring Idris Elba. It

Warning: Contains mature discussion of intimacy. With this book, did we expect anything else? We wrap up our journey with Sarah J. Maas (for now) with the fifth and currently the final installment in the series started with A Court of Thorns and Roses. Nesta gets some much needed character development and Cassian gets some much deserved nookie. Lots of fun, lots of off-topic but relevant discussion, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!The cups I referenced in the show were purchased

2022/12/31

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's humor at all the right moments. There's more from the Strange and Beautiful Network!Listen

Nicks back and everything's uncomfortable as his overwhelming guilt drives him to lie about witnessing a shooting. Our favorite Vampire Detective is wrestling with not only his feelings of inadequacy over letting an informant die, he's also questioning whether the ends justify the means and whether or not its okay that Schanke, for once, is whole heartedly in agreement with him on a case. What is MOST good in this situation? Will Nick ever realize that morality and mortality are not the

Our favorite Vampire Detective is back for two WHOLE episodes this week since Kate is under the weather. (Get well soon Kate!) In this episode (Dying to Know You) Nick encounters a psychic who is trying to help with his latest case but is mostly going slowly crazy because Nick isn't great at not hovering. We debate the objective weirdness of the tie as a fashion accessory, chortle over the attempted flying scenes (aw, 90's you're so cute sometimes) and otherwise engage in merriment

Nick unleashes his inner predator while investigating a beautiful young temptress who has led more than one man to the dark side.

Trigger warning: Suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health and thoughts of self harm or suicide, please call or text 988 at any time to talk and to get help. "Last Act" is a deep dive into Nick's thoughts about life and mortality after a dear friend completes suicide. It's a heavy episode but a great one.

We review both the Director's Cut and the Theatrical release of the 1985 classic staring Tim Curry, Mia Sara, and Tom Cruise. It's all the glorious, decadent optimism and vision gluttony of 1980's fantasy in one visually stunning package. Plus Mia Sara. Did I mention her? Her in the dress I SHOULD have worn to my wedding. Maybe when we renew our vows I can be her and Matt can rock the Tim Curry Satan suit...hnnnngg..... There's more from the Strange and Beautiful Network!Listen to Rachel,
