Devin say one thing, Charlotte says another, and it all changes back again! Dive headfirst into the autumn aesthetic and prepare for the Thanksgiving season with an episode about one of the best films ever covered on Film Literate. Which is pretty short, but only because Fantastic Mr. Fox is, too. And also: 10/10, no notes.

Episode Correction: There are nine circles of Hell. 

"What if the next thriller you read was all about you." That's the tagline for the debut novel by Renée Knight.

And a tagline for this episode might be: "What if books were better - way better - than their taglines? And that tagline ain't half bad."

Tune in to hear a conversation about the novel that inspired one of the most celebrated filmmakers of a generation to go ahead and create a limited television show. Only, that's for later. For now, for this episode, Devin Diazoni and Paola Zavala are nothing but bookworms.

Just because Devin Diazoni's podding solo again doesn't mean you shouldn't listen! But, fair warning, this one's almost exclusively about baseball. As the title suggests.
