Wicked Words Book + Film Club Podcast

Join us to discuss the second half of Audition by Ryu Murakami. 

In Greg’s Bonus Film Reel, we discuss Ti West’s “X” and “Pearl” and our appreciation for Mia Goth, as well as the holiday horror “Await Further Instructions,” which Greg aptly describes as an “overbaked souffle”. 

In Sara’s Bonus Bookshelf, we discuss Strange Pictures by Uketsu and the controversial We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer. 
For the first half of Audition, Greg takes the torch and does the Coven Casting, and he nails it. Sara and Greg ask each other Audition questions and mayhem ensues.

It's finally here! Join Greg and Sara for Book Reveal #4!

We have the chance to give a BUNCH of new shoutouts this week for our new Coven Members and a new Support the Sinner, and we review the lamentable black day when our Wicked Instagram went down. The day that Wicked Words got Zucc'd. (Tragic). Daddy Zucc gave us another chance, though, bless up.

We discuss some exciting new changes for 2025 in the Coven of Wicked Words, including our new tier: Support the Sin. In Sara's Bonus Bookshelf, we discuss Through Legend They Fall by Rachel Pendley and Houses of the Unholy by Ed Brubaker. In Greg's Bonus Film Reel, we discuss Caveat and In a Violent Nature, as well as Greg's "cameo" in What We Do in the Shadows on FX!

This week, Members will VOTE for our first book of 2025!
