In "Room 237" Rodney Ascher presents wild interpretations/conspiracy theories about "The Shining." Some are relatively grounded, while others rely on outlandish ideas. But is it possible the whole doc is a deliberate showcase of fan obsession & over-analysis?

What's the point of meaningless death? "The Long Walk" (2025) takes a stab at providing an answer, and in the process changes a Richard Bachman story into one more in line with Stephen King's sensibilities. But which version was better? Let's discuss!

Red flags in SO MANY of the emails we get:

THE LONG WALK--It's time for our first Richard Bachman book! Let's take a look at the truth behind the name, a Vietnam War allegory, the role masculinity plays in controlling young men, and what makes this one of the bleakest stories we've covered.

It’s time to appreciate the original film the American remake owes so much of its success to. Let’s talk about “Ring” (1998).

Starship Troopers (1997) is THE blueprint for #Helldivers.

Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of Heinlein’s classic novel divided critics at the time, but its antifascist subtext sure hits different in 2025.

Good call, that's on the list! I seem to remember someone I was on a panel with at Chicago Worldcon recommending we cover that one. I'd be game for it

Hey @inktofilm.bsky.social , there IS another Heinlein adaptation I'd love for you to tackle: "All you Zombies" and the movie Predestination.

Struggling to get through this one. About 60 pages in. Does it get better as it goes on? Should I power through it?

Unlike the movie, Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" is NOT a satire... but is it worth reading today?

A change up from our typical writer guests, Shayna Hodge runs a massive book club here in Portland (300+ people) and was an absolute delight to have on our podcast.

Show them some love and give this a listen? We're spoiler free to kick things off!

It's been a while since I watched Starship Troopers (book is way different), a good long time since I watched Akira (never been close to the book), and I don't think I ever watched Romeo and Julie or read the play proper. All very interesting choices.
