Summary

This week, Matt and Jordan fight over the conch in their review of the BBC’s new four-part adaptation of The Lord of the Flies, now streaming on Netflix. The duo dives deep into Jack Thorne’s "cinematic" take on the classic novel, debating the effectiveness of its character-focused structure and its haunting visuals. For Rec Seg!, they've got Flies-inspired recommendations that range from the whimsical to the harrowing; and in response to listener emails, recommendations for an overseas deep-cut horror film and an experimental short (that may just scratch that jam-band itch). Plus, Matt faces his fears as Producer Sam takes over as "Dungeon Master" for this week's game, The Streaming Limited.
