Episode 018 : Movie and TV Adaptations .

In this episode, we dive into the wild world of adaptations—what works, what falls flat, and why Hollywood keeps circling the same wells. We break down how classic comic strips get reimagined for modern audiences, why historical fiction hits differently when it’s brought to the screen, and the rise of limited series as the new go-to format for deeper storytelling. From stand-out movie reinterpretations to the ones that really should’ve stayed on the page, we pull apart the choices creators make and whether they actually serve the story. It’s a sharp, honest conversation about nostalgia, creativity, and the fine line between honoring source material and rewriting it completely.
