It's that time of year to gather with your family and gobble gobble up a nonfiction book to educate yourself on those who were robbed of theirs. This isn't Hallmark's version of the first Thanksgiving, but we're certainly gonna be serving some facts along with that cholesterol. Can a Scorsese adaption bring heart to a broken hearth or does it take …

Even hopelessness is bigger in Texas! Welcome to the Wild West of adaptions. The sheriff just quit, the author met the wrong side of a cattle stunner and the Coen brothers can be found at Trader Joe’s. Or so Jimmy and Kelly wish.

We’re ringing in Pride month with the bells from the Handmaiden! Fingers crossed you read this sapphic pastiche before listening, as it’s as twisty and unpredictable as the sex scenes in the film adaption.
