In today\\u2019s episode we\\u2019re examining the Netflix adaptation of Rumaan Alam\\u2019s novel, \\u201cLeave The World Behind.\\u201d Directed by Sam Esmail and starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali and Myha\\u2019La, Leave The World Behind is an apocalyptic thriller about a seemingly idyllic family vacation on Long Island that gets interrupted by two strangers bearing news of a blackout. As the threat grows, both families must decide how best to survive the potential crisis, all while grappling with their own place in a collapsing world. The movie had us questioning what our own reactions would be in similar circumstances and how we all live every day dancing the fine line between disaster and hope.\\xa0

Carinn is a super-fan of Alam\\u2019s novel so we also chat about what she loved in the original source material and the differences between the novel and the movie. Kate may have had an exciting meltdown about a scene featuring a certain 90\\u2019s hip hop song that has Julia Roberts dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld.\\xa0
