We play cinematic book club and tackle some film adaptations of novels. But first, we nominate some songs that would make great (or at least, plausible) movies, raising a glass of sherry to the partied-out songwriting of the 1970s. Later, we attempt a tricky adaptation of a short story with tense geopolitical and interpersonal implications, and wrap it up with some finds from our respective watchlists. Discussed in this episode:Kenny Rogers, “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town”X, “Sex and Dying in High Society”Bill Faye, “Screams in the Ears”Thin Lizzy, “The Boys are Back in Town”The Shooting PartyTokyo DecadenceIvansxtc A Girl, She Is 100%The Twelve ChairsCosmos (2015)Karaoke TerrorDeborah Eisenberg’s short story, “Holy Week”Alia ShawkatMichelle PfeifferThe SicilianDemonloverLa Femme PubliqueSweetie PhenomenaMaster and Margarita (2005 TV mini-series)RatboyDrop us a line at [email protected] or via Instagram @storyboredpodcast or Twitter @storybored_pod.
