Young will discuss the film. Plus we take your calls! The film is out now, and available to stream on Apple TV starting May 7.
We air highlights from our April Get Lit with All Of It book club event with author Stephen Graham Jones. We discussed his book, My Heart is a Chainsaw, which tells the story of a half-Indigenous woman named Jade who feels alienated from the other people in her small town. She only finds comfort in horror movies. But when real-life murders start happening in her town, she uses her horror acumen to try and get to the bottom of what's going on. The conversation was hosted by All Of It producer Jordan Lauf.
Lakota multi-genre musician and public speaker Frank Waln joined us for a special performance at our April Get Lit with All Of It book club event with author Stephen Graham Jones. Jones has cited Waln's song, "AbOriginal" as an inspiration for his Indian Lake Trilogy. We present our interview with Waln, and a live performance. The conversation was hosted by All Of It producer Simon Close.
