Welcome to the official companion blog for Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast.
This is where you'll be able to find complete transcripts of each of our episodes going forward, as well as special announcements and bonus content.
Chris and I are excited to keep bringing you content, even as he travels Europe on an extended honeymoon with his wife! Here's a look at our schedule for the months ahead:
- 10/16: "Kiss of the Spider Woman" by Manuel Puig, films directed by Hector Babenco and Bill Condon.
- 10/30: "Deliver Me from Nowhere" by Warren Zanes, film directed by Scott Cooper.
- 11/13: "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, film directed by Guillermo del Toro.
- 11/26: "The Running Man" & Stephen King's 2025: "The Long Walk" (dir. Francis Lawrence), "The Monkey" (dir. Oz Perkins) and "The Life of Chuck" (dir. Mike Flannigan).
- 12/11: "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire, films directed by Jon M. Chu ("Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good").
- 12/31: "The Housemaid" by Freida McFadden, film directed by Paul Feig.
Chris and I are dedicated to making this podcast as accessible as we possibly can, which means we're also trying to get transcriptions on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. If you need a transcript and it's not showing up on your streaming platform, please reach out to us, and I'll make sure you get a copy as soon as possible.
Next, I want to share some exciting news about Adaptation: We're planning to start offering bonus content! As I'm sure you can tell, Chris and I have a lot to say about books and movies, and not all of that fits perfectly under the umbrella of book-to-movie adaptations, so we'll be introducing mini episodes, called Adaptation: Lightning Round.
Each episode of Lightning Round will feature a shorter, more specific conversation between Chris and I -- maybe we'll pose a question for the other to answer, talk about a movie that isn't based on a book (or a book with no film adaptation), maybe Chris will rant about his favorite author because we'll only have limited opportunities to discuss them on the main podcast.
Regardless of the topic, we're looking forward to bringing you Lightning Round, and we're working hard to source ideas and write episodes. You'll be able to find episodes on the main Adaptation page of your preferred streaming service, it will simply have different cover art. See below!
Lastly, I want to offer a plug to Jem Zornow, who helped compose our theme song that plays at the beginning and the end of each episode. Jem is a talented musician and recently released his debut album, "Find a Little Light." Chris (who plays bass on some of the tracks) and I cannot recommend this album highly enough and we encourage you to take a listen!
