Inside the Dark, Twisted Story The Duffer Brothers Are Adapting For Netflix

July 13, 2025

It’s a time of Easter, new beginnings and Canadian Literature! This month, we’re talking about the best that the Great White North has to offer to the world of books. Whether you know it or not, Canadians continue to contribute incredible stories to the world of literature to this day. It’s high time that we celebrate the authors, characters, and tales that our nation has to offer. Come along and discover what you’ve been missing.

Sick of traditional zombie films? We’ll we’ve got a doozy for you. This week, we’re talking about a little indie Canadian trip, with 2008’s Pontypool. The skeleton crew of a small town radio station are quarantined after a mysterious outbreak that seems to be triggered by the spoken word begins to overtake their small town of Pontypool. Is it weird? Yes. Do we have questions? Absolutely. But we’re here to unpack an interesting foray into obscure Canadian literature, cinema, and the English language as a whole. Come along for the ride and whatever you do…do not translate this message…
