      Thanks for listening, Mal! I don't do a lot of horror-type stuff, but this one was written by a friend of a friend - and it seemed like a good one to do as we approach to Halloween.

    I just discovered that there's a 2023 movie called "Wildcat" based on the life of Flannery O'Connor starring Maya Hawke. Wonder if it's any good.
