Three Full Printed Pages - Single Spaced

Happy Bones Day! Or not. Truthfully, I haven't checked the forecast.

This week, in the spirit of the Spooky October season, it's all about the thematically sinister genre of the Psychological Thriller. Claire pulls us into the spine-chilling world of What/If. This show is filled with "What"s - What's the perfect balance between compelling and mysterious? What makes the atmosphere of a Psychological Thriller so, well, thrilling? What makes a good shocking twist? They also introduce a new shocking twist of their own - a brand new addition to the classic three elements that make up a Trashy TV Show. Afterwards, Elyse rants for her half of the episode about the new Hulu TV adaptation of one of her favorite books - Nine Perfect Strangers - and talks about how well the show measured up to the novel. From pacing, to celebrity actors, to how much of the source material to throw away or keep, there's a lot of ground to cover here. Both Claire and Elyse bring up their favorite shows that were originally based on books, and discuss what worked and what failed to impress.

Before we go:

Claire - My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite. A psychological thriller about two sisters, one of whom must make the difficult choice between two people she loves - a charming doctor she works closely with, or her sister the serial killer. Witty and darkly comedic, this is the perfect thriller for the spooky season.

Elyse - Dónde Están los Ladrones?, Shakira's fourth* studio album, released in 1998. Need something to warm you up from the chill of autumn? Take a listen to this assortment of romantic songs, all inspired by things we've lost. Elyse recommends starting with her personal favorite song from the album, "No Creo". *Correction: In the show, Elyse mistakenly said this was her second album, but upon checking Wikipedia, turns out it was the fourth. Oops!

Warning: This episode contains minor plot spoilers for the two television series What/If and Nine Perfect Strangers.
