Joe Hill is more than just the son of horror icon Stephen King, and Scott Derrickson\u2019s adaptation of his short story helps showcase what makes him a powerhouse in his own right. In episode 235, Luke & James talk about how authors can approach writing taboos, what they might risk, exploring childhood trauma, Ethan Hawke\u2019s standout performance, catharsis through horror, and using True Crime as an inspiration.

They end by casting their votes for what version is better: the short story or the movie!
