About

Guest Shayna Hodge (they/them) joins the show once more to round out our coverage on the Marielle Heller adaptation of Rachel Yoder's NIGHTBITCH. In episode 358, join Luke, James, and Shayna as they breakdown Amy Adam's stark portrayal, unpack the changes made to the husband's character, make a surprising "American Psycho" connection, hear about an out-of-pocket question asked to the film's creators, and finally all cast their vote on which one's better: the book or the movie! NOTE: We occasionally refer to the main character as "The Mother," which is the name used for the protagonist in the novel, without explaining that context. Potentially confusing during our discussion of "the mother" in the movie (meaning Amy Adam's character's mother as seen in the flashbacks).
