Hey, this is Sam. If you enjoy our interviews with writers and artists on Talk Easy,

then I'd recommend checking out the podcast, Missing Pages. Hosted by acclaimed literary critic and author Beth Ann

Patrick, Missing Pages investigates the biggest hot button topics in the book

world today with the help of special guests like New York Times Best Selling Author

Jody Pekle and publisher weeklies Jim Miliet.

Produced by the People at the Podgolomerate,

Missing Pages explores everything from the Insta Frame of Colleen Hoover

to the rise of book bands across America to the lucrative culture of non-fiction

ghost writing. As both the Washington Post and The Guardian praise, missing pages is a must listen. So if you'd like to check it out you can follow

missing pages on Apple Podcast or wherever you like to listen. Pushkin. This is talk easy. I'm Sam for actor, author, comedian Jenny Slate. Jenny's latest project has been a long time coming.

Of course, I'm talking about Marcel the Shell with shoes on.

The film follows a recently divorced documentarian named Dean,

who, after moving into a new home,

stumbles upon a mollusk named Marcel.

Marcel and his grandmother, Nana Connie,

have been estranged from their Shell community for some time now.

And Dean, eager to dive head first into a new project, tries reconnecting Marcel

with his family the only way he knows how to by making a movie. Here's a

clip from the trailer.

All right, so I'm making like a little documentary.

Oh, it's like a movie, but nobody has any lines and nobody even knows what it is while they're making it.

Mm? No.
