In which Becca and Lily have a free form discussion about the 2023 film, and 2021 novel, Nightbitch. The film is described as a “black comedy horror film” that was written and directed by Marielle Heller and stars Amy Adams. It is based on the 2021 magical realism novel by Rachel Yoder. In the most basic terms, it’s a tale of motherhood in which a mother transforms into a dog. In more complicated terms, it’s a weird and wonderful exploration of motherhood, identity, magic, rage, and the challenge of being a woman, mother, wife, artist, and dog. This is a bonus episode, a rambling conversation about all of these issues. Please listen, watch the film, read the book, and tell us what you think!
