The LitFlix Podcast

In honor of the spooky season, Kaci thought she’d pick an easy little vampire book to cover. Little did she know this pick was far from simple! 

Join us as we talk about vampires, bullies, addiction, letting the right monsters in and so much more. 

Hope you enjoy and Happy Halloween! 

Tonight’s episode contains a discussion of graphic and sexual violence, pedophilia, and drug use. Listener discretion is advised.

On tonight's episode we discuss Ghost World. Hear how the casting could have been utterly disastrous, how we missed out on a Steve Buscemi sex scene, and how friendships truly end. Join us! 

We’re back! On this episode we discuss Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies along with the 2016 movie. 

You’ll hear about the class system, how unforgiving this book is, cauliflowers glow up, and the age old question - is Darcy hot enough? 

We don’t know if this book is actually necessary, join the discussion and let us know what you think!

Intrigue! Murder! Incest! Join us this week for the icky mystery, A Simple Favor. You'll get incest statistics, psychopathy, and mom vs. mom bullshit.
