  • Shutter Island (2003 Novel) | Investigating the Mystery of Your Own Mind
    Nov 14 2024

    Author Dennis Lehane is well known for the high-profile adaptations of his work, but none more than his book SHUTTER ISLAND which went on to be adapted by the legendary Martin Scorsese—but how does the novel hold up on its own? In episode 328, join writer Luke Elliott & filmmaker James Bailey as they revel in gothic vibes, learn about a surprising connection to “The Wire,” learn not to trust a man because of his incongruous hands, encounter a strange woman in a cave, and finally have the rug pulled out from under them in a twist for the ages. Join them next week when they cover the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, and Mark Ruffalo!

  • They Live (1963 Short Story & 1988 Film) | Seeing the Subliminal
    Nov 8 2024

    Did you know John Carpenter’s classic “They Live” was based on a short story called “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson? How do they compare? In episode 327, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they put on their special glasses and see through the lies, learn about the origins of the propellor beanie, have a five-minute brawl with a familiar face, tack “Nada” back to a comic adaptation, and worry about just how relevant it all seems today. They finish out by casting their votes on which one’s better: the short story or the movie!

    Was this adaptation of Junji Ito’s masterpiece cursed by the spiral?
