Episode #157: The Huntsman and the Queen’s War
The huntsman takes a back seat in this discussion as Jenn and Kendyl cannot get enough of the fierce fairytale queens in The Huntsman: Winter’s War (2016).

Don’t forget to travel back to 2012 and listen to our episode on Snow White and the Huntsman.
Staff Recommendations – April 2016
The Adaptation staff has started reading quite a few books this month. Here’s what we thought:
Vlog: Eleanor & Park Dream Cast
Commentary #13: The Jungle Book (1967)
The Adaptation staff had a really great time commentating Disney’s The Jungle Book (1967) in preparation for the new “live-action” film.

Episode #156: Dawn of the Justice League
The hosts are hot and cold in this discussion of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). We can’t love certain casting choices any more, but full-on hate others; we love certain plot points, but found others confusing.
Question of the Week: Did this movie get you excited for more of the DC universe or did it discourage you from wanting to see future movies?
Staff Recommendations – March 2016
Our March recommendations are a little late (blame Kendyl), but the Adaptation staff has a few ideas about what you should check out now that it’s April!
Episode #155: Divided Allegiances
In discussing the film Allegiant (2016), the hosts discuss the flip in Tris and Four’s judgement, the pure versus damaged perspective, and what all these changes mean for Ascendant.
Question of the Week: With Tris being the only “pure” Chicagoan in the films, what implications does that have for the ways “pure” and “damaged” people are seen and treated? What implications does it have for the parallel with real world racism that we saw in the book?
Check out our episodes on Divergent and Insurgent, and on the Allegiant novel!

Episode #154: What Would Peggy Carter Do?
The hosts gush once more over Agent Peggy Carter, the vibrant, loyal characters around her, and the excellent way the writers subverted our expectations this season.
Commentary #12: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (2012)
A few Adaptation hosts watch Part 1 & 2 of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in preparation for the bat to face off against the boy scout on the big screen.
Episode #153: The Right to Refuse Allegiance
Episode #152: Deadpool Talks to Walls
Like the rest of the world, the hosts loved Deadpool (2016). Listen to them go over the good, the bad (there’s always something) and what Hollywood should but probably won’t take from this.
Vlog: Seven Sobbin’ Women for Seven Brothers
Episode #151: A Flirty Pissing Contest and Zombies
Jenn, Sarah, and Kendyl discuss Pride and Prejudice and Zombies the film, the movie and the original Jane Austen novel they are descended from in this entertaining episode. They could have done without the B plot the film added, but Darcy’s leather coat, Bingley being useless, and the badass Bennet quintet more than make up for it.
