  • Summary

  • In this episode of Reel Lit, we're literally shooting for the stars! Join us as we dive into Neil Gaiman's 1999 novel Stardust and its whimsical 2007 film adaptation. We explore the contrasting tones of the book's darker, more mature themes with the film's lighter, comedic adventure. From costume symbolism and the significance of the characters' names to a rogues' gallery of familiar faces (Henry Cavill, anyone?), we leave no stone—or star—unturned.

    We also geek out over the surprising cast cameos and dissect the intricacies of Captain Shakespeare’s flamboyant wardrobe. Plus, we dig into the moral ambiguity of Stardust's so-called 'heroes' in our 'Most Hated Character' segment.

    And, of course, we can’t resist a little banter about Halloween preparations and a tease for our next spooky episode. So, grab your Bubbling ... err ... Babylon candle and get ready for a journey to the land of Faerie!
