    Episode 2.7 How to Ride Giant Worms
    Jul 13 2023
    Hello listeners! This week we are delving into the world of science fiction with the titan that is "Dune" by Frank Herbert. It is a beautiful novel that weaves a compelling web of political intrigue, action, insane technology, spiritualism, and a hero's journey. Join Evelyn and Jacob as they discuss their highlights! Also, they definitely muse over whether a certain film franchise borrowed some ideas.

    Episode 2.6-Tribute to Cormac McCarthy
    Jun 21 2023
    Yep...we're back. We know, we know, but this time it's for real. We are so happy to be recording and settled. What can we say? Life is crazy. Join Evelyn and Jacob in a tribute episode to one of the greats. In honor of Cormac McCarthy's recent passing, we wanted to do a special episode on one of his novels. Join us for a discussion of the screenplay, turned novel, turned screenplay-- No Country For Old Men. It speaks for itself with the multitude of awards and credits it has won over the years! We talk about how McCarthy turns Western tropes on their head, duty, responsibility, and the absolutely terrifying Anton Chigurh.
