They may snatch our bodies, but they will never take our vampire baseball!  

Stephanie Meyer was in the Twilight of her popularity as a YA novelist when her follow-up book The Host was turned into a 2013 event film. So why didn’t Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) going on double dates with her alien parasite prove as popular as Bella’s dalliances with werewolves and vampires?  And why is patriarch William Hurt (Incredible Hulk) willing to allow this extraterrestrial wanderer a chance to settle down with his human family hiding in the Arizona desert?  Only lucky Souls who Donate to support Now Playing Podcast find out now!
