“The Devil at Your Door” ITF Read & Watch: Smooth Talk (1966 story & 1985 film) ft. Laura of Why the Book Wins

“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates is
a rare short story that's more famous than its film adaptation. In
episode 222, Laura from the “Why the Book Wins” podcast &
YouTube channel joins Luke & James to discuss both versions and
help them get to the heart of the enduring tale. Topics include
hints of a supernatural explanation for Arnold Friend, Laura Dern’s
surprising revelation about the film that came years later,
director Joyce Chopra's giving back, and the unique vulnerability
of girls in our society. They finish by casting their vote for
which version should be considered the best!
