Othersode #103: We're All Just Structures, Man / The Monkey with Samantha Allen
It’s safe to listen, but whatever you do, don’t wind that monkey! Join us and special guest Samantha Allen, author of Roland Rogers Isn’t Dead Yet, for a fun chat about The Monkey film, based on the short story by our man Stephen King. After discussing cursed toys of our own childhoods, we talk about the horror-comedy genre and how it relates to grief, the family relationships, performances, and our favorite deaths. Read along for our next Bookpisode on Entitlement by Rumaan Alam on March 18th. Then get ready for a special Hatepisode on Scythe and Sparrow by Brynne Weaver on April 1st! (Pure coincidence that it’s on April Fool’s Day. We’re actually very serious about being haters.) Drop us a rating and review, and if you’re feeling extra supportive, head over to our Patreon and become a patron of the pod!
