Every month until the release of Will Leitch's book "The Time Has Come," we will have an episode of the People Still Read Books podcast, where Leitch talks with an author about their book. (And hopefully reminds you he has one coming out, which you should pre-order.)

This week, on the eve of "The Time Has Come"'s release, we talk to the great Kevin Wilson, author of "Now Is Not The Time To Panic" and "Nothing To See Here." Kevin is a beautiful writer, and an absolute prince of a human being.

Finally, we get to talk about the new Kelly Reichardt movie, "Showing Up." At last! But first we dig into the film version of the beloved Judy Blume book, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." And wow, a David Lowery movie, that's a big deal. Though is it? It's Disney-Plus' "Peter Pan and Wendy."

Hey, a Nicolas Cage movie! Where he plays Dracula! Sounds awesome ... but maybe not so much in practice. We also discuss the hospital documentary "De Humani Corporis Fabrica."

But the real superfun comes from a discussion of the great Jonathan Demme movie, "Something Wild." Look, an '80s comedy we love!
