"In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the gang gather over the topic of book clubs. Endorsements June: Get In: The Inside Story of Labor Under Starmer by Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund, a detailed and readable analysis of Keir Starmer's unlikely rise to power."
An all-guest-host panel covers an indie horror rom-com that blends romance and dread, focusing on codependency and consent and questioning whether it earns the attention it receives online. The panel then shifts to Widow's Bay, a spooky island setting, and discusses a new series starring Matthew Rhys within a horror-comedy experiment. The panel also debates whether most kids’ books are “crud” and evaluates whether an online backlash over comments by children’s book creator Mac Barnett is warranted. A bonus episode for subscribers centers on book clubs. Recommendations include a labor-focused political analysis of Keir Starmer’s rise, an animated short film by Don Hertzfeldt, and historical family and autobiographical reading by Lion Feuchtwanger and Salka Viertel.
