Ep-51 Sharp Objects (2006 novel) chapters 1-8

Gillian Flynn’s debut novel SHARP OBJECTS has been adapted for
HBO in a limited series starring Amy Adams, so the guys have
devised an experiment in how they will cover this project to fit
the release (described below). This episode begins with a
spoiler-free chat for the curious, followed by some interesting
author bio tidbits, before the full-spoiler discussion begins.



SPOILERS BEGIN: 19:57


Topics include: Similarities to Stephen King’s IT, Flynn’s
impressive prose, the cruelty of the mean girls of Wind Gap, Amma
the psychopath, Adora strikes a familiar chord with James,
Camille Preaker’s connection to Bill Denbrough, how Adora could
be linked to the murders, and the guys try to sort the red
herrings from the legitimate leads. It’s early days, but they
finish the episode by touting some theories about what’s going to
happen in this small-town murder mystery. 


THE PLAN: This week they cover chapters 1-8, next week episodes
1-4 of the TV show, then back to the novel for chapters 9-16,
then episodes 5-7 of the show, then finish up with a combination
book and film episode covering the final two chapters and the
finale of the TV series. 5 podcast episodes in total.
