• I Wish You All The Best

  Thanks to a recommendation from listener Andrew, we're checking out non-binary author Mason Deaver's 2019 book I Wish You All The Best and transwoman Tommy Dorfman's 2024 film adaptation.This is an interesting pair: they're each doing things that the other isn't (for better *and* for worse), including a fantasy ending and a welcome focus on therapy in the book and acknowledging queerness more quickly and an intimate ending for the film.Plus: soliciting feedback from non-binary listeners, shifting genres from book to film, and feeling frustrated by Ben's passivityWanna connect with the show?

• Clown in a Cornfield

  Brenna and Joe wrap up another scary season with a look at Adam Cesare's YA slasher Clown in a Cornfield (2020) and Eli Craig's 2025 film adaptation.Joe is a big fan of both texts: they each deftly balance comedy and horror, along with some surprising subversions, such as the killer reveal and the queer relationship between Cole and Rust.Brenna likes the comedy of the film, including the kills (!), though there are a few issues with performance, the supernatural bent of the adults' motivations, and the ending lacking an old man on a plane. Overall, though: these are solid!Wanna connect with the show?

• Dark Harvest

  Brenna and Joe kick off scary season with Norman Partridge's 2007 Stoker award winning novel Dark Harvest and David Slade's 2023 adaptation.The book isn't exactly YA (and intriguingly features a second person narrator), but it mostly works as a Vietnam war allegory.The film has elements of camp and great practical FX, though its incredibly grim ending doesn't entirely satisfy.Overall, though, this is a great start to our annual creepy tradition!While Brenna may be disappointed that the film doesn't exactly feature a pumpkinhead creatureWanna connect with the show?
