A Monster Calls

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr

Ready to cry? Brenna and Joe discuss Patrick Ness' surprising A Monster Calls (2011) and J.A. Boyana's 2016 film adaptation.

These texts are both beautiful and emotionally devastating, which means we both cried A LOT.

Plus: Sigourney Weaver as a British grandma, Tom Holland's secret role, Jim Kay's beautiful illustrations, and debating why the film flopped so hard in North America.
