Ryan's movie rec required an intermission, Damien's hitting the nips, and the episode is overrun with Philip K. Dick. Plus, Jess' doggo Gus gets lots of love! Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird Series! This season, we're exploring our second book in the series ‘Crawling Horror: Creeping Tales of the Insect Weird.’ In this episode, our featured tale is: 'The Miracle of the Lily' by Clare Winger Harris.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching The Sound of Violence (2021; dir. Alex Noyer); drinking Freeland Spirits bourbon.
Damien is heeding Jessica's recos – watching The Empty Man (2020, dir. David Prior) and reading The House Next Door by Ann River Siddons; drinking Devil's River bourbon.
Ryan is watching Martyrs (2008, dir. Pascal Laugier); drinking Miller Lite. Really.
