Listen "Shot Callers: The Reel Lit Bracket Episode"
Episode Synopsis
In this special bonus edition of Reel Lit, Stephen and McKenzie hang up their close-reading glasses and lace up their high-tops for a bracket showdown of literary proportions. Eight films. Six categories. Zero chill.From Rhys-level prose to homicidal sharks and hook-handed slashers, they debate, deliberate, and occasionally duel over:Best Book (critical acclaim vs. personal canon)Best Film (box office vs. brilliance)Best Adaptation (judged by that not-so-patented metric of excellence, The Owl’s Perch)Most Hated Character (because literature is personal, and vengeance is delicious)And just for fun (and chaos), two more categories get thrown into the ring: Outstanding Performance and Best Supporting, where scene-stealers finally get their due.Whether you’re Team Wonder Boys, rooting for Like Water for Chocolate, or just here for the madness, this is March Madness, Reel Lit-style. Brackets will be busted. Trash talk will be literary. And someone’s leaving the court with the ultimate buzzer-beater.
