On this week’s episode of Read, Watch, or DNF we look for puppies in the back of a black van and spend some time with a rotary phone in Joe Hill’s short story The Black Phone and its 2022 film adaptation of the same name. And we ask the question - do short stories make for better source material?Also, little Gwen in this movie is my spirit animal.

The Black Phone

Greetings, greetings, world! Welcome to the 'Read, Watch, or DNF' podcast, your ultimate destination for all things books, booze, and unforgettable adaptations. We're your hosts, the witty Mel B. and the fabulous Jackie D. 🎙️📚🎬I know what you're thinking: "Another book and movie podcast? Seriously?" But hold on, bestie, because we're not your run-of-the-mill literary or cinematic review show. We're the daring explorers of storytelling, venturing into the dog-eared pages of beloved novels and the silver screen, uncovering the collisions, contrasts, and even conspiracies that breathe life into stories. Sporadically and drunkenly, we embark on literary adventures, exploring classics, best-sellers, and hidden gems. Then, we'll hop through time to their cinematic counterparts. Get ready to dissect plotlines, debate discrepancies, and raise a toast to the enchantment when tales spring to life on the silver screen. We'll even dive into the mystery of why characters sometimes look different in our minds than in the movies and why certain book scenes don't make the final cut. So, this podcast is for you whether you're a bibliophile, cinephile, or just someone who loves a good chat over drinks. Grab your popcorn and your cocktail. Put on your reading glasses, and buckle up for a wild designated driver-ride.
