Adaptation: A Podcast Dedicated To Film Adaptations

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). Question of the Week: If the last shot of the movie is indeed setting up a sequel, what fairytale would you like to see incorporated in this world next? Follow us!

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? Follow us!

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? Follow us!
