DVDs
As with our music, which tends toward jazz, blues, folk, and classical, our dvds are eclectic. We like to sell dvds that have some book or play basis, although some loyalties are basic: really well-done anime, Angelina Jolie since she was awarded her Academy Award for work here in the Valley (Girl, Interrupted), and simply flat-out essentials according to our lights.
Lovecraft Country: The Complete First Season
Lovecraft Country: The Complete First Season
The Lovecraft Country Season 1 DVD is the story of a young African-American who travels across the U.S. in the 1950s in search of his missing father.
A search for a missing father turns into an otherworldly trip. Based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff, this HBO drama series follows Korean war vet Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he joins his friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) and his Uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) on a journey across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his father (Michael Kenneth Williams). What follows is a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.
