We have a very special podcast crossover episode for you this week! Friend of the show and fellow NCFCA Film Critic Lindsey Dunn invited us to collaborate on an episode with her podcast, 1 OF MY STORIES.

William Golding's iconic novel LORD OF THE FLIES was recently given the miniseries treatment on Netflix, developed and directed by Jack Thorne (of Adolescence) and starring a host of young talent like Winston Sawyers, Lox Pratt, David McKenna, and Ike Talbut. The story paints a bleak and harsh portrait of a decaying civilization when a handful of adolescent boys crash land on a remote island, where their superstitions, prejudices, and fears foster a downward spiral into chaos and violence.

In this week's episode, Reed joins Lindsey -- alongside fellow guests Aaron Jones and Anna Gonowon -- for a hearty discussion of the show's central themes, cultural significance, and with a particular focus on its four primary characters. It's a robust and thoughtful analysis of what makes a leader, what makes a coward, what makes a society, and what makes us human.

We're very proud to present this episode simultaneous with 1 of my Stories and we really hope you enjoy it.
