Before Andrei Tarkovsky's "Stalker," Arkady & Boris Strugatsky's novel shocked Soviet censors and created a stir among the intellectuals of their era. In episode 394, author Laura Cranehill (WIFE SHAPED BODIES) joins Luke Elliott & James Bailey to discuss what happens when aliens don't even notice us, the importance of earthworms, a familiar podcast villain taking center stage, and how this novel is somehow just as relevant as ever in the modern era of AI. Laura will return next week to discuss the movie and vote on which is ultimately the best version!

In episode 393, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they consider different versions of Lisbeth Salander, reflect on Millennial alt-fashion becoming more mainstream, unpack a Kurt Vonnegut easter egg, weigh changes to the romantic relationship between the leads, and finally cast their votes on which version was ultimately better: the book or the movie!

When Tim Burton adapted Lewis Carroll's famous novel he turned it into an action-adventure film featuring a star-studded cast, but was it effective? Join Luke & James in this former Patreon-exclusive episode as they fall down a very different rabbit hole, explore a world of wonder and cgi, try to parse Johnny Depp's accent, and face the Jabberwocky in a final confrontation that puts a climactic battle as the climax of a story that usually takes a very different form. Now unlocked for all!
