Show Notes

Everyone knows the movie, now learn about the story!

Books & Nachos is now part of Now Playing Podcast.

Before our book reviews were branded as Now Playing Podcast Book Reviews, they were released under a separate show called Books & Nachos. That podcast focused on book discussions, most of which tied directly into films we were covering on Now Playing. We’ve now merged those episodes into the main Now Playing Podcast feed for easier access and a complete archive. But these older episodes still have the original Books & Nachos intro and credits on those older recordings. 

As Now Playing Podcast reviews all Philip K. Dick screen adaptations, Stuart also explores the source material that inspired the movies and transformed the science fiction genre for a whole generation of readers. This week, Stuart takes a look at the seminal 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the dystopian detective novel that gave birth to the Harrison Ford/Ridley Scott classic movie Blade Runner.
