Baby listeners, this week we're comparing Peter Heller's The Dog Stars with Ridley Scott's film adaptation, and somehow a story about the end of civilization left us mostly fighting for our lives against the pacing. We're talking Jacob Elordi's one-note grief, Josh Brolin being way too lovable to be Bangley, why Jasper is the actual star of this entire thing, and the exact moment Grand Junction turns into Alien with cannibals.
Plus, Rebekah declares war on quotation-mark-free prose, Tim listens to an audiobook at unprecedented speeds, and we ask the most important question of the apocalypse: Why are you walking onto a stranger's property WITH A GUN?
