32 - A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L'Engle

A Novel Adaptation

The dread and anxiety of IT is coming for you… just like this episode. We have some difference in opinion between which is better here, the book or the novel. It depends on what you’re looking for, long story short - but our journey to that conclusion is pretty ridiculous. We also talk about how Chris Pine is our favorite damsel in distress, Jordan ALMOST catches feelings, and Emily admits the hero’s journey needs to die.

Episode Drink: A Wrinkle in Thyme

• 2 oz gin
• 1 oz pear juice
• 1/2 oz thyme syrup*
• 3 oz bitter lemon soda
• fresh thyme sprig (garnish)
