Afterlife Movie Club: What Dreams May Come
We finally did it! We recorded the first episode in a new series, the Afterlife Movie Club. Claire Favret and Bill Stern join me to talk about the movie most referenced by far on This Is Your Afterlife, 1998 Robin Williams vehicle What Dreams May Come.
Why is there so much purple in this movie? Does the story measure up to the set design? Exactly how fucked up is it for a movie this horny to end with two reincarnated lovers meeting as children? Oh, and spoiler alert.

Here are the two Hieronymus Bosch paintings I reference:
- The one above the bed: The Garden of Earthly Delights
- The one that reminded me of Annie's hell: Ascent of the Blessed
