Good books are read For adaptations that blew. Come hear a discussion By the H.E. crew. Lizzy and Nate and the occasional guest dissect novels, novellas, short stories, plays, leaflets, cereal boxes -- anything that was later turned into a movie. They pillory plot differences, castigate casting choices, and revel in all that is right.

    HE050 The Running Man

    Could there be a better way to countdown the end of a banner year for Hate Expectations (new equipment and four full episodes!) than to bring two of our favorite masterminds into the chamber, only to connect over a book with, not one, but two blockbuster adaptations? To tell the truth, no. That's our jam! Helping us on the chase through Richard Bachman's The Running Man (1982), its 1987 movie (dir. Paul Michael Glaser), and the still-in-the-theater (at the time of recording) 2025 movie (dir. Edgar Wright), are the Regis and Meredith of returning guests: Chris Lemon and Jane Hutchins! It's also common knowledge that Chris is a titan of game show minutiae. So we all get a chance to hear about Richard Dawson and about which of the terrifying over-the-top game shows from the book actually got made in real life. Do you have the concentration to learn everything you ever wanted to know about The Running Man? We double dare you to join us and judge for yourself.

  2. HE049 The Dead Heart / Welcome to Woop Woop

    HE049 The Dead Heart / Welcome to Woop Woop

    G'day, mates! For this episode, Hate Expectations brings you a ripper of a yarn from deep in the blowie ridden heart of the Australian outback. We've loaded up our eskies with coldies and tucker, and we've pointed our ute straight on toward Woop Woop. Welcome to Woop Woop, that is, the 1997 movie by Stephan Elliot, as well as The Dead Heart, the 1994 novel by Douglas Kennedy that is the basis of the movie. We have a real bonzer chinwag about this underappreciated flick, one we think is a actually a real beaut (even if it's also kind of festy). But first, a warning: this episode is not for the ankle biters. It is chock-a-block with swearing and references to rooting and all kinds of mean and nasty things. For your average bloke, however, it should be a real bottler. Cheers!

  3. HE048 The African Queen

    HE048 The African Queen

    We at Hate Expectations love when our friends bring episode ideas to us. Indeed, when our many time returning guest, Jane Hutchins, suggested The African Queen, we leapt at the chance to plunge into the classic C.S. Forester novel (1935) and its beloved John Huston directed film (1951). Who could resist nautical adventure through the heart of the jungles of Africa? Or Bogart and Hepburn heating up the screen? Seems like a no-brainer. You'll have to listen in to see  how we felt: whether we ultimately were swept away by its charms or wanted to torpedo it. Either way, I can promise we enjoyed the journey of discussing it all with Jane.

    The Martian

    Yeah, yeah. It's April Fool's Day today...technically. And yes, we've pulled our japes in the past. You're right to be on your guard. But we promise, this is just a normal episode. Ok, maybe not normal normal. It's a pretty great episode, actually! Joining Lizzy and Nate in Spielenwald's basement studio are frequent guests, Z and Rich Johnson. They've come to talk about, spoil, examine, dissect, illuminate, and swear copiously about The Martian, Andy Weir's 2011 novel and Ridley Scott's 2015 adaptation of the same name. Both versions are pretty well out of sight, and there's a lot about both to dig. Even still, when we do run into the occasional speed bump you can be certain we'll talk our way through whatever it is. We're here for the vibes. Ayyy! Erratum: as far can be determined, Andy Weir does nor or has not lived in the PNW. We'll not hold it against him. Several good people don't.

    HE046 The Lathe of Heaven

    For such a slender volume, Ursula K. Le Guin's world changing novel, The Lathe of Heaven (1971), had enough going on to splinter off two different adaptations over time. Nate and Lizzy are joined by return guest Jonathan Franklin, and the trio chisels away at the layers of the book and the TV movies from 1980 (dir. David Loxton and Fred Barzyk) and 2002 (dir. Philip Haas). Join them as they spin out theories on dreams, taoism, art, and the illusion of control.

  6. HE045 The Boys in the Boat

    HE045 The Boys in the Boat

    For just the second time in history the Hate Expectations team has raced into their local theater to take on a subject that is still new enough to make waves: director George Clooney's The Boys in the Boat (2023), based on the 2013 novel by Daniel James Brown. Nothing gets their hearts pumping and their breath ragged like even a light amount of exercise, except maybe a well written adventure. The story of the 1936 University of Washington crew team swatting away Nazis and the depression with both fists surely is that: the stuff of legends. But does the movie keep pace? Will Lizzy and Nate be swept away all over again? And how does one pronounce Poughkeepsie, anyway? You'll have to listen to this episode to know what's going on inside their skulls. Now, can you give them ten big ones?

  7. Jaws

    Jaws

    There's a fin in the water and fun in the air! From Jaws, Peter Benchley's incredibly popular 1974 novel, to Jaws, Steven Spielberg's even more popular 1975 film, Lizzy and Nate sink their teeth into the adaptation, rip into the differences, and digest the repercussions of both on the future of cinema and entertainment. Armed with the fleshed out story in the book, their discussion undulates between Ellen's pearl necklace to screenwriter Carl Gottlieb's tell-all book to Mayor Vaughn's re-election and appearance as mayor in Jaws 2. Actually, strike that last point--even the fearsome Hate Expectations crew can't figure that one out.

    Get Shorty

    You know, they say books are the reason we have such beautiful movies. They also say that adaptation are the reason we have such beautiful episodes of Hate Expectations. Listen to this episode to at least find out if Lizzy and Nate agree with that first truism, at least with regard to Get Shorty, the 1990 Elmore Leonard novel and the 1995 film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. The latter "fact" is one you'll have to judge for yourself. We promise most of the commas are in the right spots, at least. Listen to us. Listen to us.
