It’s cliché to say that you’re going to cry during "Bridge to Terabithia," but if it’s true, is it wrong to say?? If Katherine Paterson’s 1977 YA novel doesn’t get you, Gábor Csupó’s 2007 movie certainly will. This sweet yet poignant classic was so much fun to discuss with a very special guest Sam Barnes, considering she might be in this movie…? We’ll let our fans decide if Janice Avery makes an appearance...

We'll take any excuse to talk about Alex Garland that we can get! On this episode of Film is Lit, we discuss Kazuo Ishiguro's profound and sentimental quasi-science-fiction drama, "Never let Me Go," and compare it to the equally as emotional film adaptation of the same name, directed by Mark Romanek and written by - you guessed it - our boy Alex Garland. Keep a box of tissues handy and prepare to grapple with the meaning of life, because this episode gets HEAVY. (Oh and we also talk about Andrew Garfield, who is super hot right now due to "Spiderman" and "tick,tick...BOOM!"....hey, gotta appeal to the kids somehow!!!)

"If you had the chance to walk away with a half a million dollars, would you take it?"

This week on Film is Lit, we cover Quentin Tarantino's most understated and under-appreciated film,"Jackie Brown," starring the incomparable and stunning Pam Grier, with supporting performances from Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert Forster (R.I.P), and Robert De Niro - WHAT A CAST! Based on Elmore Leonard's 1992 "Rum Punch," we discuss all the various differences between between the book and the film, how Grier was snubbed for Best Actress, and how Forster was one of the best character actors of all time. So, after you're done listening to your favorite Delfonics record, give this episode a listen will ya?

Ah, Macbeth…The Scottish Play. Or should we say The Scottish SLAYYY (cringe)?! This episode is going to get SUPER bloody, thanks to William Shakespeare’s cold, cold heart. Is Joel Coen’s 2021 movie as bloody? As brutal? As brooding as the original 1606 play? Listen to our discussion to get our takes!

Is it possible to discuss DUNE too much? Well, we're here to find out! Welcome to another installment (and it won't end here) of Film is Lit, bringing back a familiar voice: the incomparable Dr. Sean Flory! It's a little disgusting how much we all adored Denis Villeneuve's most recent film, but not as disgusting as the Baron Harkonnen in the 1984 film, so hopefully it's not too painful to revisit this sci-fi classic!
