Have you heard about these Movies That Never Were?

 

There are many near-miss Hollywood projects that are initially greenlit but eventually founder. Maybe it was a great idea, maybe it even began production...and maybe it dramatically fell apart because of money issues. If it could have been but never was, we're talking about it today!

 

Speculation is our strong suit and throwing around baseless judgement is our mainstay. Join us for a countdown of our top "Movies That Never Were" and help us sort through the wild rumor mill to figure out what doomed them.

Preview: NICOLAS CAGE WAS GOING TO BE SUPERMAN???? 

 

PLUGS: 

 

Mic has been loving Agents of Shield (Check it out on ABC! [or Netflix or HULU, let's be real])

 

Morgan has been loving brackets. Yep. She went there....So, check out your Social Media for people filling out useless brackets. And in the meantime, tell us who wins: Star Wars VS. MCU. #Trending #bullshit

Marvel's latest installment (Avengers: Infinity War) is GOING TO BE BANANAS (B-A-N-A-N-A-S). There is so much leading up to this installment (including 18 full-length feature films, and approximately 50,000 episodes of TV......that *some* of us haven't gotten around to yet!). So, needless to say, THIS IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR. Fret not BB's, for we are here to help!

We are joined on todays episode by our very dear friend (and first repeat guest!) Dr. Andrew Friedenthal, who puts his comic book specialties to work as we recount the MCU and prepare for this madness.

We've got opinions, deep feelings, recaps, rankings & predictions for the future! Catch it all before you see the movie (or after, if you're confused). It'll be out in theaters on April 27th!

PLUGS:

Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale was an amazing memoir published in 1985.

FAKE NEWS!

Just kidding, The Handmaid's Tale was NOT a memoir, but has the horrifying potential to become such. We love that this book covers topics pertinent to today's society and acts as a reminder of what could be if we let hatred win. The story has been adapted for the screen by HULU and sesason two is just around the corner!

Check out our episode for a recap of Season 1 (and feelings), and season 2 predictions!

We are SO excited to see where this show goes next (and also horrified).

ALSO, we're deeply sad that Elizabeth Moss is a Scientologist. More deets within!

PLUGS:

Today on Beauty and the Bitch, Mic and Morgan take a deep dive into the amazing (and explicit) world of fan-fiction by exploring the latest Potter-craze: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir.

This 52 minute long fan-film brings us the history of Tom Marvolo Riddle (I AM LORD VOLDEMORT), which we DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE WERE MISSING IN OUR LIVES!

We explore some other amazing Potter fan-fiction out there, discuss our anger with calling "no-homo" on Dumbledore, talk about what we're missing in the Potterverse, and examine what keeps bringing us back to this world: SPOILER, it's because it's amazing and we need it like heroine.

SO, follow along with us, and be sure to catch Origins of the Heir on YouTube! (FOR FREE Y'ALL!)

Neil Gaiman is a master of words and we love and respect his every move here at Beauty and the Bitch. That being said, we did of course make room to TEAR THIS HOUSE TO THE GROUND. 

American Gods is (in our opinion) one of the best books (EVER) and a Gaiman classic. It has been turned into a STARZ adaptation and is set to launch Season Two in April 2018. HOWEVER, there is too much drama not to discuss! Gaiman is right in the middle; people are leaving; show runners are changing; story lines are up in the air; WE ARE HAVING FEELINGS.

Additionally, we have the Scoop on all the other Gaiman projects in the works. Basically we're a gay man on Gaiman and a woman with feelings about John Hamm in his powder blue suit. 

Come share the love BB's, it's good for the soul <3

PLUGS:

 Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (So lit, going to be an adaptation starring Kerry Washington & Reese Witherspoon)

The Sandman Comics by Neil Gaiman (AMAZING!!!)

Austin, Texas' very own Ernest Cline has given us a sweeping sci-fi/fantasy epic made for every kid from the 80's who LOVES nostalgia (and video games, and movies, and books, and style AND DRAMA). "Ready Player One" was one of Morgan's favorite reads of last year (though it came out several years ago), and is definitely for most any Sci-Fi/Fantasy Lover!

It hits all of *our* buttons, so we're a little biased here, but WE LOVE IT. And, to commemorate our love for the book, we have brought another superfan onboard (Allison Jackson!) to talk about all the great things and speculate about how horrible we think the movie will be (spoiler: we're not too sure about it). 

Dive into our shade (THROWN AT STEVEN SPIELBERG?!), our predictions, our desires anddddddd so much more! Come share in the love BB's, it's good for the soul <3

PLUGS:

 

The Good Place (You should watch it you Messy Bench!)

Black Mirror (on Netflix! Mic thought it might be boring, turns out he was hella wrong)

Beauty and the Bitch are taking on part three of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series. Will they be more bitchy than before? Will "The Hobbit" movies continue to be unneccarily long? What happened to Smaug? Can we hold our own attention? If anyone can do it, Beauty and the Bitch can!

We continue on our path of jokes at the expense of Benedict Cumberswizzle, we mourn Smaug, we salute  Martin Freeman (and his Bilbo), and we complain about everything. We also continue to confront the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melodrama?

Not to be missed is (OF COURSE) the shade we are serving on a silver platter....and now I'm hungry. What's for second breakfast???

I DIGRESS.

Thanks for tuning in to our three-part Hobbit podcastathon! We hope you love Tolkien...and tearing down great things as much as we do!

PLUGS:

Marvel's "Legion" (on FX!, and available on HULU)

Diana Gabaldon's Voyager (specifically the last 200 pages, where shit gets LIT) & Season 3 of Outlander on Starz!

Beauty and the Bitch has taken a step into the wild, deep darkness of Jeff van der Meer's Southern Reach Trilogy. This interesting, and twisted trilogy has received the Hollywood treatment with *amazing* director Alex Garland (Ex Machina), who co-wrote and directed Annihilation.

 

Naturally, we have feelings about how the adaptation has shaped up (and changed in a number of drastic ways) and what we think that might mean. Revel in our feelings, effortlessly thrown shade and shared love for Alex Garland, sci-fi (in general) and drama. PLUS: miscellaneous ramblings (obviously our forte).

 

Be sure to catch Annihilation while it's still in U.S. theaters and watch it on Netflix soon if you are international!

 

PLUGS:

Morgan (& Mic) think you should check out Grace & Frankie (in case you've been living under a rock and have *seriously* missed out.

 

Mic also wants to plug robots. Just generally (He is REALLY sucking up to them, so *when they take over they remember he is an ally and a loyalist).

 

***Note: they will be taking over.***

Mic also wants you to check out The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, an extremely readable (and extremely short) science fiction trilogy. The second and third books are coming out this summer!

Listen,

what follows is the truth. MADELINE L'ENGLE IS A MAGICAL UNICORN GENIUS AHEAD OF HER TIME, INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE TO DREAM BIG, AND OH YEAH REMEMBER WE ARE INFINITESIMAL IN THE UNIVERSE SO EMBRACE BIG IDEAS.

Glad we got that out of the way. So. On today's episode we are covering "A Wrinkle in Time," which is getting the Reese Witherspoon treatment on the forthcoming adaptation. Witherspoon has made strides in Hollywood to became the go-to gal for book to screen adaptations. She has a new production company (Hello Sunshine) & a mission to empower women by telling stories for, by & about them. #Feminism. So, needless to say, we're here for it.

A Wrinkle in Time is one of her many accomplishments where she is helping break down barriers for women & people of color. One of our favorite aspects of the AWM movie adaptation is the inclusion of POC and the normalizing of interracial relationships. I mean, IT'S 2018 Y'ALL.  This shit is F.I.N.E. So, thanks for relaying that message to kiddos.

We're also talking all things book- of course! We were big fans as kids, and Morgan can't wait to share it with her future children! A delightful tale guiding kids towards the light, in a world that can often be dark and damp.

In addition to our book & movie talks, we've got some mad shade to throw at the Youtubers & crazy's that have some hate to give in regards to this story. (We're coming for you).

So, be sure to check out the movie (coming to theaters on March 9th) & be sure to read " The Time Quintet" by Madeline L'Engle, starting with book 1: A Wrinkle in Time. <3

PLUGS:

 Mic wants you to check out his favorite brand of delightful trash this week: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (which you can catchup on, on Hulu!)

Morgan wants you to join the nerdy side, and catch up on The Kingkiller Chronicles (which she just read- starting with The Name of the Wind), and help her be angry while we anticipate book #3 coming soon (or never. we'll see.)

Hey BB's:

#Spoilers for previous seasons; #NoSpoilers for current season!

Are you a fan of AMC's "The Walking Dead?" Do you devour the Robert Kirkman graphic novels? Are you hungry for zombie dramas? Does your brain....er, crave entertainment? Then you're in the right place! At Beauty and the Bitch, we LOVE "The Walking Dead". Like. We love it. Mic even likes Carl (who, admittedly, has even grown on me!).

However, as a fan of "The Walking Dead", you have to endure a lot of shit. And cliff hangers. And character deaths. And plot twists. And logical fallacies. And a whole lot more, BUT....we think it's still worth it!

We are coming up on a pivotal return, after a midseason finale that has left everything uncertain. Catch our predicitons for Season 8 Pt. 2, future predictions, our feelings on past season arc's, which characters are our 'ride or die's', and everything in between about this magical land of gloom and doom!

Hey BB's:

Today we are joined by our super smart film buff friend- Dallas! Dallas takes us through the intricate weavings of film maker Ryan Coogler's career (and why he SO deserves the props he's getting!), along with some jokes, Michael B. Jordan gossips, miscellaneous musings and general rantings. 

We explore why it's so powerful to (finally) have a super hero of color in the main role, and how gorgeous everyone in this film is. Dare we say, it sounds perfect? WE DARE. So much to look forward to with this action packed film hitting theaters THIS WEEKEND!

Be sure to check back in next week, with more pop-culture musings.

We love you BB's!

Feb 7, 2018

Hey BB's:
As Promised, here is part 2 in the unnecessary 3-part episode series covering "The Hobbit" (looking at you Peter Jackson). We dive in to the action packed, song-ful, fictional-love fueled, Smaug-tastic episode of our adventure. 

We finally get to see Benedict Cumberswizzle in all his glory as Smaug, and see Martin Freeman come more into Bilbo than ever before. We also face the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melo-drama (we're actually kinda there for it!).

Not to be missed is (OF COURSE) the shade we are serving on a silver platter....and now I'm hungry. What's for second breakfast???

I DIGRESS.

Thanks for tuning in, and we have the conclusion on the horizon! Until then- we love you BB's!

BB's: Times run out, the Order has suffered losses, and the Dark Lord has ceased to be vanquished. IF ONLY WE HAD TWO MORE BOOKS TO WRAP UP THIS STORY....oh....wait. NVM! JKJKJK! (Rowling that is).

But, seriously, we're here to bring you Part 2 of our Order of the Phoenix talk, and: WE COMING FOR YOU CHO CHANG. (among other casualties)

Book 5 brings us ever closer to the conclusion of our re-read/re-watch/re-visit/existential Wizarding questions: so join us! We've got gabs, goofs, and g-wine.....we drank wine. BUT, we actually tackle some pretty deep Harry Potter biz! We are joined again by the lovely Ashley Guerra. Catch up on the Potter-mani before episodes covering 6 & 7 hit your feed!

BB's: What if we created a secret organization of Wizards, bent on squashing the Dark Lord, and hanging out for quick quips and battles of wits? OH, WELL I GUESS THAT WOULD BE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CUZ IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE.

OKAY, J.K. ROWLING. OKAY.

But, seriously, we're here to cover the finer nuances of this oft proclaimed "least favorite" read in the  Harry Potter verse:  The Order of the Phoenix.

Book 5 brings us ever closer to the conclusion of our re-read/re-watch/re-visit/existential Wizarding questions: so join us! We take a deep dive into character histories (looking at you Arabella Figg), we look at what really matters (Is Hermione rich?) and we fuel our shady-chat with love and wine (one in the same, amiright?)

 

Part 2 will be out next week!

BB's: Bear with us on this UNNECCESARY THREE PART ENDEAVOR TO COVER THE HOBBIT. That's right, we're looking at you Peter Jackson.  After his magicial wonderland that was The Lord of the Rings, ole Pete decided that he wanted to take the 95,456 words of The Hobbit and pair them with a little bit of nonsense, made up things/characters, and bits from The Lost Tales + The Silmarillion - and turn it into a trilogy!

We can not tell you why. What we can tell you, is that we have SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT IT. Some good, some bad, some neutral, and....some non-sequeters (obvi). Check in with us, and let us know how you feel about these film adaptations too/the legend that is JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit.

Hi BB'S! On today's episode we dive into the deep (and cavernous) world of Star Wars, in preparation for the December release of Episode VIII The Last Jedi. Who make the cut in M, F, K? Does Mic even understand what space REALLY is? 

We are joined by Aaron Messick, self proclaimed Star Wars addict, who educates us on the facets of the franchise that one can be involved in (movies, tv, books, gaming AND BEYOND).

Come get pumped with us, and speculate away!
