In this episode I compare the book Black Narcissus, by podcast fave Rumer Godden, and its two screen adaptations from 1947 and 2020. Their chronological order correlates exactly with the order of my esteem, which is pretty handy. Throughout, I prove the point of both Terry Pratchett and William James when they suspected that the indignation of an atheist can be as strong a brand of belief as the faith of a religious adherent. In other words, there's more to nuns than sexual repression; here's a whole hour of explaining why.
