Christopher and Eric wrap up their special month of Pride Pairings by serving up a boisterous biopic of the great Oscar Wilde that didn’t age quite as well as they’d hoped. In WILDE, Stephen Fry’s excellent performance as the title subject is hypnotic, and Jude Law scorches a hole in the screen as his manipulative young lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. But does this sprawling film truly capture the magnetism, wit and appetites of the iconic literary figure at its center? Or is it held back by the constraints of late 90’s cinema? And, of course, most important in a Dinner Partners Pairing, do the facts hold up?
New York Times bestselling novelists Christopher Rice (The Burning Girl Series) and Eric Shaw Quinn (The Write Murder Mysteries) return to their studio on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip for an all new podcast that’s all talk. Join them for their trademark blend of humor, irreverence and passionate opinion as they dish on some of the most popular true crime TV shows of the moment in their recurring, special feature “Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club”. (A production of TDPS, the same network that brought you the comedy/variety and celebrity interview filled fun of The Dinner Party Show.)
