Movie Joust!

Listened to about 10 minutes of your Long Walk review and I can't do anymore. This is a terrible, uneducated take. The first person to speak at length about how much he hated the movie and it's poor adaptation hadn't even read the book - you understand that's what an "adaptation" is? And your criticism is that it is so unrelentingly bleak - that is the actual point of both book and movie. That's in the synopsis and trailer - so if you weren't up for that, why did you even see it? It is a character based story, about their relationships and growth (not a post apocalyptic tale about the kind of world they are living in - so there won't be world building and exposition). There actually are many rich themes if you had paid any attention. I will look for a podcast that had done some research and presents meaningful criticism.
