    Where The Crawdads Sing | Episode 15

    This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we're headed straight to the cinema for an adaptation of one of the best-selling books of all time - modern supermarket classic Where The Crawdads Sing, written by Delia Owens, and directed by Olivia Newman, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones. We talk the beauty of the marsh, the jarring beauty of Daisy Edgar-Jones' Kya, and how the book thinks you were a fool to assume that she could be anything other than a complete psychopath.

    The Tragedy of Macbeth | Episode 13

    We're back! This month on the Big Screen Book Club after our short hiatus, we're taking on the granddaddy of plays himself - William Shakespeare - in The Tragedy of Macbeth, directed by Joel Coen and starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand! We talk the inevitability of one's fate, do some cracking impressions of ravens, and discuss how Macbeth is far and away the Shakespeare play that's most tailored to goths.

    This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we're taking it back to old Hollywood to tackle The Big Sleep, the ultimate Bogie and Bacall picture directed by Howard Hawks! We talk the fervent sex appeal of Howard Bogart, the power dynamics balanced by Lauren Bacall, and generally not *getting* crime novels.

    The Lost Daughter | Episode 11

    This month, by request of our lovely Patreon supporters (that's you!!!), we're off to Greece to study a newly appointed Academy Award nominee - The Lost Daughter, written by Elena Ferrante and written and directed for the screen by Maggie Gylenhaal. We talk transmisogyny, how angrily eating a Cornetto is a symbol of true Britishness, and how Ferrante herself may be an ancient alien. It all comes together, we promise.

    Audition | Episode 10

    This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we're taking a look at Audition, the unsettling and icky horror cult classic written by Ryu Murakami, and directed by Takashi Miike. We chat about all the invasiveness of needles, how yoghurt is actually much worse than seeing a man's foot cut off, and how Asami has earned her right to sit atop the pile when it comes to Good For Her cinema.
