About this episode

Nick Digilio welcomes Marnie Shure to discuss horror films, food writing, and the impact of TV adaptations of popular movies.

Nick welcomes food writer and horror fan Marnie Shure back for her monthly visit, which includes her review of the new horror hit Backrooms and a funny story about the surprise box office success of Obsession. They also talk about the world of Mortified, the growing trend of government-owned grocery stores, something that may be coming to Illinois, and more. Marnie also shares her thoughts on the wildly popular new Hello Kitty Cafe in downtown Chicago. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to look back at some pretty terrible TV adaptations of great movies, including Heathers, Clueless, and 9 to 5. They even revisit the forgotten TV version of Weird Science, which somehow leads to a quiz. [Ep 468]
