We begin the podcast with Meaghan and Arthur playfully addressing the confusion brought on by a long weekend and busy schedules, setting a casual and conversational tone for the episode. They remind listeners that this is the last week of their series focused on unreliable narrators, tricksters, and deceptive perspectives in storytelling.They recap their previous episode, where they explored the various kinds of unreliable narrators, ranging from innocent children to substance abusers, pathological liars, and mentally unstable individuals. The hosts stress that the term “unreliable narrator” is often used as a catch-all, but it actually encompasses a broad range of narrative techniques and psychological complexities.Introducing Shutter Island and Its OriginsTo build on the theme, they examine a well-known adaptation - Shutter Island, a 2010 book adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese and based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. They provide background on Lehane's literary career, his recurring themes, and his reputation for gritty, Boston-based crime thrillers. His stories often feature morally complex characters and psychological twists. Other adaptations of his work include Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, and Live by Night.We learn that Lehane got the idea for Shutter Island after reading about psychological experiments in the 1950s, specifically post-World War II. The novel was intended as a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock, which helps explain its psychological tone and noir-style mystery. Meaghan and Arthur point out that while the film is visually distinct from Hitchcock's style, the story shares similar thematic undercurrents, such as paranoia, identity, and trauma.Dissecting the Plot and Narrative MechanicsThe hosts go on to recount the storyline of Shutter Island, set in 1954 and centered on U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), who travel to a remote island to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a patient at a hospital for the criminally insane. Although the facility is heavily guarded and geographically isolated, Rachel appears to have vanished.From the beginning, Meaghan and Arthur highlight how the film uses subtle cues to raise suspicion. The guards are overarmed, the staff is evasive, and files are withheld. Everything contributes to the sense that something is deeply wrong. DiCaprio's character experiences disturbing dreams, hallucinations, and flashbacks to his military service during World War II, especially his role in liberating a concentration camp. These visions hint at trauma and establish Teddy as someone whose perception may not be entirely reliable.As the narrative progresses, Teddy becomes increasingly convinced that the hospital is performing secret psychological experiments on patients and that the missing Rachel may be part of a larger conspiracy. Meaghan and Arthur note that these beliefs are intensified when Teddy finds a woman in a cave who claims to be the real Rachel Solando - a former psychiatrist who was institutionalized after uncovering illegal experiments.The hosts express mixed feelings about this particular scene. Meaghan feels it is unnecessary and muddles the story, while Arthur argues that it reinforces the central theme: in an institution where authorities can label someone insane, any truth-teller can easily be discredited.The Big Reveal and Thematic WeightEventually, the story builds to its climactic reveal: Teddy Daniels is actually Andrew Laeddis, a patient at the asylum. He was once a U.S. Marshal but suffered a complete psychological break after his wife, Dolores, killed their three children. In response, Andrew killed her and was institutionalized.The entire investigation, including the missing patient and the conspiracy theories, was a therapeutic roleplay orchestrated by the facility's staff in a desperate attempt to cure Andrew without resorting to a lobotomy. Mark Ruffalo's character is revealed to be Dr. Lester Sheehan, Andrew's primary psychiatrist. Ben Kingsley's Dr. Cawley was overseeing the operation, hoping that by reenacting the narrative Andrew constructed, he might be able to confront reality and accept the truth.Meaghan and Arthur analyze the storytelling methods used to reflect Andrew's delusions. The use of water and fire imagery, disjointed conversations, and dream-like sequences all reinforce his fragile mental state. Arthur appreciates how the film mirrors the unreliable narration used in the book, where language and perspective conceal the truth until the very end.They also discuss how Andrew briefly regains lucidity, acknowledging what happened to his wife and children. However, in the final scene, he appears to relapse, again referring to Chuck as his partner and insisting they need to "get off the island."Meaghan suggests that this might be a conscious choice - Andrew possibly pretends to have relapsed to avoid living with the overwhelming pain of his past. His final line supports this interpretation.Which would be worse: to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?This final twist was not part of the book but was added during filming. Both hosts agree it deepens the emotional impact of the story and elevates the film's ending.Reflections on the Film and Comparisons to Other WorksThe hosts have a nuanced discussion on their personal responses to the film. Arthur enjoys Shutter Island for its suspense and atmosphere, while Meaghan admits she found it predictable, having guessed the twist early on during her first viewing. She expresses frustration that knowing the reveal made the film drag for her, given its lengthy runtime and misleading scenes that felt unnecessary.Still, both agree that Shutter Island benefits from rewatching. Knowing the ending allows viewers to pick up on subtle cues and better appreciate the layered performances, particularly DiCaprio's emotionally intense portrayal of Andrew.They also compare Shutter Island to other media that use unreliable narrators, such as American Psycho, Mystic River, and Gone Baby Gone. They find American Psycho especially effective, as it leaves viewers permanently unsure of what is real.Meaghan shares that Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly experienced nightmares while filming due to the emotional toll of the role, and they admire his dedication to playing such a psychologically demanding character.Reading Recommendations and Final ThoughtsTo wrap up the episode, the hosts offer several book recommendations for those interested in similarly themed stories:The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides: A psychological thriller involving a psychiatrist trying to understand a patient who has refused to speak since allegedly killing her husband.We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: A young adult novel about a privileged teen with amnesia after an accident. Meaghan admits she didn't enjoy it, mainly because she predicted the twist and disliked the poetic prose style.Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough: A domestic thriller that morphs into psychological horror, famous for its divisive and unexpected ending.The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides: A psychological thriller involving a psychiatrist trying to understand a patient who has refused to speak since allegedly killing her husband.They encourage listeners to revisit Shutter Island with fresh eyes, particularly to appreciate its themes, symbolism, and how its structure embodies the unreliable narrator technique. The episode ends with a teaser for next week's content and hints at surprises coming in May.

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) returns to 2CC for a review and recap of The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, the 2018 thriller novel that follows the twists and turns of forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber's mission to unlock the truth behind Alicia Berenson, the notorious painter who hasn't spoken even once after apparently murdering her husband years ago (yes, she's the eponymous “silent patient”). Talking points that Arthur and Andy bring up throughout this bookish episode include the noir vibe that runs throughout TSP, the despicable bigotry of J.K. Rowling, and frustrating misconceptions about borderline personality disorder and other mental illnesses.

ReadThe Maidens by Alex Michaelides is An explosive combination of Greek Mythology, murder, history, and academia. I devoured this book. Also by Alex Michaelides The Fury and The Silent Patient. Read them all. The Women by Kristin Hannah. Set during the Vietnam War, The Women tells the story of an army nurse, her training, friendships, and—what I found fascinating—PTSD. It is wonderfully written. I loved it. The Oceans & the Stars by Mark Helprin. I love nearly everything Helprin writes, and The Oceans & the Stars doesn't disappoint. It is a magical love story with depth, charm, honor, and duty. Absolutely wonderful. Read it slowly and savor every word. Pre-ordered: Table for Two. Amor Towles. I'll let you know the second I finish. And, Close to Death by Anthony Horowitz. Can't wait! WatchI watched The New Look and The Feud, and they left me totally blah. Yes, the acting is superb, especially Tom Hollander as Truman Capote, and the settings are impeccable, but I didn't love either of them. The Durrells in Corfu. PBS Charming doesn't even come close to describing this series. I finally watched all the chapters. It's so English (in a good way). It just makes me feel good, sort of like… it is all good in the world. Home Fires PBS. There are only two seasons… so the stories are still hanging…. The third and final season was canceled as they started production… even so, it was well worth watching. Superb. The Dynasty, New England Patriots, Apple TV—now we are talking. Men in tight pants. Seriously. I don't know anything about football, but I loved to see the camaraderie, the aim to win, the ambition, and how they all supported each other. There is a lesson here.

Does that 1D cardboard cut out you got in 2011 seem like it's following you? It might be deadly. We're talking about The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell, a victorian horror book that is also pretty feminist and full of girl bosses. If you like The Yellow Wallpaper, The Woman in Black, or The Silent Patient then you need to read this book.WARNING: death of child, stillborn infant, murderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

Because its the holiday season, we're giving back by reading 1 star reviews of our favorite books. It's a different kind of pain and laughter you experience when you read these reviews that completely miss the plot of the stories you're in love with or are too obsessed with the plot to see the story the way you did. But thats literally the best thing about reading because one person's unhinged, 1-star review, is another's content, lol. We hope you've enjoyed this insane year with us and can't wait to see what this next chapter has in store. Tori and I wish you all a safe holiday season and hope you enjoy your well deserved time off! We'll see you all in 2024! Byyeeeee

Camila and Jen offer up their take on “The Maidens” by Alex Michaelides, New York Times bestselling author of “The Silent Patient.” This psychological thriller incorporates elements of Greek mythology throughout and ends with a twist that you'll never see coming!

This NYT bestseller was recommended by TWO fans: Barbie Steele and Gillian Tobin. They told us The Silent Patient was a snooze and was written by a failed screenwriter. How could we resist? We are joined by author Jason Yamas (Tweakerworld) who assured us that although this book wasn't literature, it was certainly “literary.” Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides hits home with the Buddies in many ways. It's a psychological thriller that takes place in a psych ward – which is where many believe the Buddies belong. And it features a patient, Alicia, that has gone mute since murdering her husband – many wish the Buddies would also go mute. So really a perfect book to kick off 2023. The Buddies once again jumped all over the map discussing awful co-workers, the importance of glasses, and living up to your job title. So strap in (your straightjacket if you're any character in this book), and join us for this page turning mystery thriller.Intro: (0:00-2:32) Stock Up/Down (2:33-22:08) Favorite Scene (22:09-23:32) Love/Hate (23:33-32:57)Movie Casting (32:58-34:26)Conclusion (34:27-37:19)Next Book: FOUNDATION by ISAAC ASIMOVNext Movie: THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

It's time for my favorite episode of the year – our Annual Kids/YA Gift Giving Guide. I asked a group of young people, ages 8-19, to tell me about their favorite book. As always, their answers were as smart, funny, interesting, and diverse as the kids themselves. I love talking to young people about books, and even if you don't have any young people to buy for this year, I know you're going to love hearing these interesting people tell me about their favorite books.   A note: as always, the interviews go in age order, and the older kids talk about books with some very mature themes.   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram   Discussed in this episode:   Hope, Age 8 Mysteries in Our National Park: Cliff-Hanger: A Mystery in Mesa Verde National Park by Gloria Skurzynski and Alane Ferguson (This is part of a 12-book series all set in national parks across the United States.)

On today's 98th episode of The Thriller Zone, we welcome New York Times Bestselling Author, Riley Sager. Riley is the mastermind behind The House Across The Lake, a thriller with "A Hitchcockian premise that is given an exciting new spin," according to NYT Bestselling author, Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient. On today's show, Riley and I dig deep into what makes a thriller such a page-turner, and--without giving away any secrets--discuss some of the tricks to crafting a novel people will talk about for months after its release. I met Riley at Thrillerfest in New York, where I heard him speak on a panel of authors. He gave solid advice to that crowd, and he shares even more solid advice on today's podcast. My favorite moment comes when Riley shares the nearly fantastical and thoroughly random story of how Stephen King came to read this book, and turn around to write a blurb that Riley says, "literally changed my life overnight." To learn more, visit: https://RileySagerBooks.com (RileySagerBooks.com), and follow him on Twitter @riley_sager.
