38: Movies (and Other Things) by Shea Serrano

38: Movies (and Other Things) by Shea Serrano


In Episode 38 Gen and Jette talk about Movies (and Other Things) by Shea Serrano, their 2020 January/February book club selection. We love Shea Serrano and we had a great time discussing his latest book. It let us go off on a bunch of movie tangents and talk about some strange movie topics. This is a book about movies like you’ve never seen before. Serrano is hilarious and entertaining, following his movie topic whims wherever they take him. You won’t find any movie snobbery in this one.

We hope you had as much fun reading Movies (and Other Things) as we did!

Some of our favourite chapter titles include:

“Were The Jurassic Park Raptors Just Misunderstood?”

“Which Movie Had A More Intense Opening – FACE/OFF or Finding Nemo?”

“Who Is In The Perfect Heist Movie Crew?”

“When Did Michael B Jordan Break Your Heart Into The Most Pieces?”

Jette’s favourite movie is Requiem for a Dream, and yes maybe that says something about her.

We aren’t making a list of the movies we talked about because there were just too many.
