This week, things get a little wild... literally. Join us as we dive into Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder and its 2024 movie adaptation starring Amy Adams.

We’re breaking down the book’s surreal exploration of motherhood, rage, isolation, and reclaiming identity—then comparing it to how the movie transforms those same themes for the screen. Whether you're a parent, a creative spirit, or just someone who feels like howling at the moon some days, this one's for you.

Hosted by Keri with co-hosts Lindsey and Crystal.
