    The Odyssey - Books 1-8 (Predicting Christopher Nolan's movie and an adaptation grab bag)

    Tell me about a complicated story Muse, tell me how its how its adaptations wandered and were lost   Just ahead of Christopher Nolan's huge IMAX interpretation of The Odyssey, we are starting Hot Greek Summer off with Books 1 through 8 of the ancient epic. We dive into our thoughts on the first third of this tale before getting into how a variety of movies, TV shows and novels have taken on the challenge of adapting it for modern audiences. Also, we break the story on Nolan's version featuring Hamilton-style rap breakdowns.   Works discussed: The Odyssey translations by Emily Wilson and Stanley Lombardo, the TV miniseries by Andrei Konchalovsky, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Ulysses 31, Ulysses by James Joyce, Star Wars   Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/adaptivedifficulty.bsky.social   Find us on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@adaptivedifficulty Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/benjamin-botkin/dauntless

    Maurice

    We all just want to be accepted for who we are, and, sometimes, the person we love the most and so desperately want to be accepted and embraced by refuses us. It's a heartbreak of the profoundest sort. Join us this week as we discuss Maurice, the 1987 film, directed by James Ivory, based on the E. M. Forster novel Maurice, which was written from 1913-1914, but only published posthumously in 1971. Happy Pride!

    Crazy Rich Asians

    Where's Michael when you need him? Twice the technology goblins attacked, so my audio is a little rough (Josh's audio is fine), but it's still a good conversation and debate about how expectations can shape an adaptation's reception. I tried my hardest to clean it up, so I can remain proud of that. Join us for our discussion on Crazy Rich Asians, at 2018 film directed by Jon M. Chu, based on the 2013 novel Crazy Rich Asians, written by Kevin Kwan. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/peter-cavallo/spinning-around

    Scooby Doo (2002)

    Is there a more profound line in all of the English canon than "Dorky chicks like you turn me on too"? Jane Austen could never (or maybe she could). Join us as we discuss the 2002film Scooby Doo, written by James Gunn, based on the Scooby Doo franchise that began in 1969.

    A Cinderella Story

    You gotta love high school! The dances, the football games, the reification of capitalistic principles.

    Pirates of the Caribbean

    A pirate's life for me - except for the part where I don't like being wet. Or chased by skeletons, I guess. Join us as we set sail on the high seas, exploring the legendary treasure that is Pirates of the Caribbean, a 2003 film, based on a Disney theme park ride.

    The Pride and Prejudice Card Game (Marrying Mr. Darcy)

    Some may say this is a short episode, but it looks perfectly average to me. Join us for an episode of NewPodPlus. We are returning to the the world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice; this time we're exploring a somewhat strange adaptation. It's a card game called Marrying Mr. Darcy. The game was designed by Erika Svanoe, and Erik Evensen was in charge of the art and graphic design of the game.

    2001: A Space Odyssey

    There are some bold questions in this episode, challenging ones. For example, does HAL watch everything in the ship? Also, there is a giant space baby. Join us as we explore Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, that was developed in tandem with Arthur C. Clark's 1968 book of the same name.
