Here's our pitch for the APRIL EDITION of the Literate CineClub!!! "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline

Welcome to our first episode of the Literate CineClub (our monthly adaptation club)! This month we review Annihilation (and spend a little time talking Black Panther... cuz...)

Introducing the LitCin Book/Movie Club (new name coming, we promise...)! Listen in as we explain what we're doing and pitch our February book/movie combo:

Book: "Annihilation" by Jeff VanderMeer

Film: "Annihilation" directed by Alex Garland, starring Natalie Portman

Oscar Nominations are out, and thus we're compelled to deliver hot takes. ALSO, we dig into our most anticipated films of 2018 and the books we're most excited for. HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE! *wait...what? it's already late January? WHO MESSED THIS UP?!

Show Notes

• Michael mentioned a magical article that will help us all want to see Shape of Water

• Oh, and Film Crit Hulk (a supernerd like us) also loves the film to no end

Prepare to get lost in Kyle's moping, Jeff watching ALL THE MOVIES, and Michael's affection for Charlie Hunnam... It's been a long time coming, and while The Lost City of Z didn't make Michael cry (see "Movie Bets" episode), we made sure to catch up on film and book so could discuss in depth. Toss in a group hug over Thor: Ragnarok, a sales pitch for Brigsby Bear (SO GREAT!), and serious confusion over A Ghost Story - it's CineMAGIC!!!

Philip K Dick is a genius, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a classic, and we have TWO Blade Runner movies to discuss. Dispense with the formalities - let's do this!

Show Notes

• Michael is not the only one super disappointed by "The Snowman"
• Denis on why he wants to tackle "Dune" and how that project contrasts with creating a sequel to Blade Runner....
