Join hosts Eva Crowe and DJ Blokzyl as they dive into the vibrant Creative Coffee Cafe community in this week's episode of Inks and Lattes. They kick things off by spotlighting the latest audio adaptation from cafe member V.M. Sawh, featuring his gripping short story "Till Death Do Us Part" on the Morbid Forest podcast. Follow Derek and Liza as they navigate a bitter marriage and the cold wilderness of Canada's forests, discovering just how far they're willing to go to stay in each other's lives—and deaths.

Eva and DJ also highlight some fantastic offerings from community members, including Luna Wolf Wyoming Designs' beautiful tumblers and mugs, and Aster's Mystic Bedhead's charming tiny art pieces. Special mention goes to the exclusive Dripping Creativity tumbler, with 15% of sales supporting the Creative Coffee Cafe.

The episode then dives into an engaging discussion on "Making Musicals into Movies." Eva and DJ share their love for musicals, reminiscing about their experiences with iconic shows like Hairspray and Les Misérables. They explore the challenges and triumphs of adapting stage musicals for the big screen, from the electrifying energy of live performances to the unique storytelling opportunities films provide. They also discuss the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, a musical that has captivated audiences for years.

As always, they wrap up with their weekly picks. DJ highlights Les Misérables, praising its live-recorded vocals that bring raw emotion to the screen. Eva, on the other hand, selects Sweeney Todd, celebrating its dark, gritty adaptation and stellar performances by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
