She uh did you see that movie The Call? No. She played a 911 uh call uh specialist. In a movie, a thriller. It was good.

Why people recommend it

The Call by Os Guinness is a spiritual exploration of personal purpose, calling, and finding a deeper meaning in life's work. Interestingly, during an episode of Stuff You Should Know in June 2026 titled Selects: 911 Is Not a Joke, host Josh Clark humorously navigated away from literature to discuss entirely different subjects, specifically highlighting a suspenseful thriller film sharing the same name. Clark recommended the gripping movie starring Halle Berry, which follows a 911 emergency call specialist dealing with a high stakes crisis. While discussing cinematic thrillers, Clark playfully compared the film to other horror and suspense favorites, repeatedly directing his cohost and listeners to check out the movie. Although the conversation briefly touched upon emergency services and cinematic storytelling rather than Os Guinness's theological text, Clark's enthusiastic tangents brought unexpected attention to the title. Whether audiences were looking for a tense cinematic thriller featuring emergency dispatchers or reflecting on personal vocation, the dual nature of the title led to an entertaining podcast segment where the host enthusiastically championed the cinematic experience alongside discussions about emergency text messaging services and spooky film recommendations.
