The Hunt for Red October

Welcome to episode 7 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we head under the sea in submarines full of hot American and Russian seamen, as we discuss The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy. Join us as we try to figure out if caterpillars swim, and what animal died on Alec Baldwin's chest.
