All work and no podcasting make Danny and Laura super pissed!

On this SPECIAL n' SPOOKY Halloween episode of Film is Lit, the hosts bring on Danny's ol' roommate Kyle Tague to discuss the incredibly divisive yet critically-acclaimed horror film, "Doctor Sleep," based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. A sequel to both a classic book and classic movie... what can go wrong?! 

(gulp)

We have a podcast and we like talking about movies...is it any wonder that we created a special episode in which we talk about movies that we wish were books?! This week's episode is purely indulgent, focusing on movies and tv shows that we wish were based on literature, just because we want to discuss how fantastic they are on Film is Lit. Enjoy your two cohosts try to restrict passionate fangirling to 5 minutes for each selection..

Another episode of Film is Lit coming in…WARM…? Listeners, get ready for yet another fantastic guest episode, starring one of our closest friends. Please welcome the talented comic Sage Huston, who suggested that we cover "Blue is the Warmest Color" (Maroh, 2010/ Kechiche, 2013)! Just sit back and be charmed by her intelligent observations, comedic timing, and semi-vil energy. To quote her, “victory is the warmest color!” But we believe that SAGE is the warmest color!!!!

Do you listen to Film is Lit? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when their episode on the infamous classic "American Psycho" came out, featuring returning guests Matt and Tim Gaylord (brothers of our esteemed co-host Danny) I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole episode has a quasi-professionalism that really gives their talking points a slight boost. This podcast has been compared to the countless other podcasts out there about movies and books, but I think Film is Lit has a far more unrefined, immature sense of humor. Give this episode a listen and make sure you return those video tapes!

After a successful Emmys night, the time is right! Film is Lit is finally covering "The Queen’s Gambit" (Tevis, 1983/ Frank, 2020), the show that checkmated Netflix audiences with smart writing, stellar production design, and flawless cinematography. Who else wanted to buy a chessboard and become a Master after finishing the novel and show??

HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS!...because today on Film is Lit, we cover a little independent film from a young & upcoming director named Steven Spielberg, the action-packed dinosaur adventure titled "Jurassic Park." Based on Michael Crichton's groundbreaking novel of the same name, this story proved to be QUITE the wild ride, and we had a blast discussing it on today's episode. We talk everything dinosaurs, playing God with nature, and most importantly...Jeff Goldblum! What's not to love about this story?!

Is it against the Timetravelers' Guidebook to take a trip to Victorian England and 1930s Korea in one episode? Well hold onto your butts, because we're going to try! Welcome to the most X-rated episode of Film is Lit, in which we discuss "Fingersmith" (Waters, 2002) and Park Chan-wook's whimsical 2016 masterpiece, "The Handmaiden." It's DRIPPING with sexual tension, overtones of toxic social oppression, and has twists to spare. Where there are women...there's a way!

Sometimes it’s just fun to sh*t on a bad artistic endeavor…and The Woman in the Window (Finn 2018/ Wright 2021) is a great example. The poor writing, pacing, and plot structure started with the book and ended with a movie that couldn’t scare you if it tried. And…it certainly tried. If you have some rage to work through, tune into this week’s episode of Film is Lit with your favorite ranting hosts, Danny and Laura!

You thought we were done with “Rosemary’s Baby”… well, THINK AGAIN! This week, on Film is Lit, Laura and Danny review the Hulu original movie, “False Positive” - a modern retelling of Ira Levin’s classic 1967 novel, starring the wonderful Ilana Glazer and the vastly underrated Justin Theroux. Listen as we more or less tear this movie to absolute shreds for 60 straight minutes, as it’s a textbook case of wasted potential. At least it features Pierce Brosnan in a juicy role! That man chews up the scenery like no other!

Welcome to Season 5 of Film is Lit!!! We’re roaring into the first episode with Volumes 1-6 of renowned Japanese manga artist/writer/director Katsuhiro Otomo’s 1988 masterpiece, “Akira!” This episode was so fun to record with our special guest Ryan Burns, who has enjoyed the manga and anime since he was young. Tune in for a discussion of how influential this cyberpunk classic continues to be, inspiring such recent classics as Stranger Things and Big Mouth!
