Posted on July 3, 2013 | Leave a comment

Dagos_Rivers is joined by Bina007 and Alias to discuss “The Lottery”, a short story by Shirley Jackson.

During the discussion, the three hosts analyse the story to death and can’t help but make the following observations:

– Mr. Graves and Mr. Summers secret relationship?
– The Hunger Games Reaping chapters <= The Lottery.
– Bill Clinton is our choice actor for Mr. Summers in M. Night Shyamalan’s adaptation.
– All of the character names have a purpose.
– We all follow parts of a tradition – even Cabinet Ministers.
– The Wicker Man stars ridiculously fit Scottish women.
– At 52:35, our first ‘Creaking Door’ moment.
