📖🎬 Is the book better than the movie???

🎙️ We're having the ultimate book vs. movie debate!

📖🎬 Is the book better than the movie? Did the movie improve on the book?
Were they both…bad?

🎙️ We’ll break it all down with hot takes, in-depth analysis, and a little unhinged fun–the catch is: Nisha reads the book and Alan watches the movie.

Frankenstein's monster has been depicted in SO many ways. Boris Karloff as Frankenstein is perhaps the most iconic, right?

But it's not even close to what Mary Shelley actually described the monster as!

It's alive!!!

We cover the important things in this one: how Mary Shelley created a genre, our moral obligations as creators, and why are so many of the monsters hot?

Have you ever thought about how the first and second rules of flight club are "don't talk about fight club" yet the word spreads like wildfire and it becomes huge?

I wonder if it should have been the last rule too...

Was Robert Pattinson the right person to play Jacob in Water for Elephants? We're not going to dish on him, but here's the thing...in the book, Jacob is a redhead. So, here are 3 red-haired actors I think could have played Jacob!

The Noir Detective’s Journey: An Adventure in Disguise

In noir, the detective is hired to do a job—usually to find someone or uncover some buried truth—but the story unfolds more like a quest than a casefile.

Annihilation is based on a book of the same name which, uncommonly, features several unnamed main characters. It's a pretty bold movie and is so easy to get wrong...

Did this book get it right though?

🐍 THE SHIMMER’S CURSED MARK!

In Annihilation, Lena’s mysterious snake tattoo appears after entering—then spreads to Anya & the wall soldier. A creeping ouroboros of self-destruction... 🔄💀 #BodyHorror #CosmicClues #Horror #HorrorSky

😱 Would YOU risk the Shimmer’s touch?

Remember Charles Murdoch? We briefly mentioned him during out Water for Elephants episode. But the story is so much bigger than we had time for.

Sara Gruen gave up so much in hopes that the justice system would reconsider an interesting trial--to say the least.

Check out this Vulture article:
How Sara Gruen Lost Her Life
The Water for Elephants author’s fight to free an incarcerated man left her “absolutely broke,” “seriously ill,” and years behind on her next book.

Today is Black Authors Day!

Although we've made a lot of progress in supporting Black writers, they still face discrimination when trying to publish. One of the easiest ways to help is to look up Black authors in your genre and give them a read!

Too easy!!!
