In episode #63, the hosts get into a massive debate about some of the smaller choices that Orson Scott Card made in Ender’s Game that made it hard for some to even finish the book. But after deciding to put personal feelings aside, they discuss the novel, characters and possibilities for the upcoming film.
Serving as proof that Jess and Kendyl shouldn’t be left alone, this episode consists of the overly excitable duo’s discussion of Jane Austen’s Emma as well as their thoughts on the first video of Emma Approved, possible spin-off vlogs, and desired LBD cameos.
Dorin has her work cut out for her defending her honey, Jeff Bridges, in Robert Schwentke’s film R.I.P.D., based on the Dark Horse comic, as the other three hosts just didn’t get it.
Kendyl defends the format of Stephen King’s Carrie against resident writers Dorin and Nicole, but all the girls agree that the characters, while mostly crazy, are incredibly complex.
In episode #59, our hosts can’t help but gush over Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass 2: the music, the character depth, the similarity to the original comic and, of course, the creatively kick-ass kills.
After seeing The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, the team talks over the films strengths and weaknesses as an adaptation, and admit their confusion about the presence of implications that were not in the book. While some things were lost and others gained, the hosts still have one question: why is it named after a city that we spend all of five minutes in?
Armed with background knowledge on the 1949 television series, Dorin, Kendyl and Ryan discuss Gore Verbinski’s screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger. From controversial casting to an excess of explosions, the hosts can’t really decide what to think about the film, but they have a good time trying to figure it out!
After taking some time to cool down after seeing Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the hosts are able to see the merits of the new installment in the series, despite their original outrage at its variances from the novel. Listen as they discuss their favorite parts (and actors) and how the film will lead into the next one.
In their discussion of James Mangold’s The Wolverine, Ryan and Kendyl compare the storyline to the Marvel comics, judge model-turned-actresses and anticipate what this installment (and the end credits scene) will mean for future X-Men films.
In this rather late episode, our hosts discuss the first Mortal Instruments installment by Cassandra Clare, City of Bones. They all seem to love the exact same characters, and find the others a little less than bright, while rolling their eyes at how none of them realize that they are stringing someone along. And the ending makes some love the book more, while others feel it’s too reminiscent of another beloved series.
The Adaptation team rehashes their favorite and least favorite storylines from Once Upon a Time season two, discussing what stories are (or should be) crossing the line, how this season compares to the first and what tales we can’t wait to see more of next season.
