Ink to Film Luke Elliott & James Bailey

In the 1980s Neil Gaiman took a character originally created by Jack Kirby and completely reimagined him, in the process making a goth icon that would propel Gaiman into literary super stardom. In episode 236, Luke & James read through the first ten issues and reflect on what made them so different, geek out about the inventive style, debate author self-inserts, and explore the origins of Death herself.

Joe Hill is more than just the son of horror icon Stephen King, and Scott Derrickson’s adaptation of his short story helps showcase what makes him a powerhouse in his own right. In episode 235, Luke & James talk about how authors can approach writing taboos, what they might risk, exploring childhood trauma, Ethan Hawke’s standout performance, catharsis through horror, and using True Crime as an inspiration.

They end by casting their votes for what version is better: the short story or the movie!

Author Rachael K. Jones rejoins to discuss James Whale’s incredibly influential adaptation of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN. In episode 234, Luke, James, and Rachael discuss what’s in a name, the physical toll that Boris Karloff endured to play the monster, an innovation in camera motion, a real human skeleton, an adaptation of an adaptation, the Rock band KISS’s surprising connection, Stephen King & George R.R. Martin’s Universal Monster references, and a Tim Burton homage that makes a lot more sense now.
They finish by casting their votes on which was better between these two giants of genre history, the book or the movie!

In episode 233, Luke, James, and Rachael discuss hand washing and cadaver dissection, a psycho-sexually fraught writer’s retreat, wrapping Percy Shelley’s heart in silk, and the unending angst contest between Victor and the Creature.

Before John Carpenter's iconic adaptation of the novella "Who Goes There?'', another director brought the story to life and inspired a generation of filmmakers. But was it directed by Christian Nyby or was it actually Howard Hawks? How does the 50s classic hold up to a modern viewing? This episode was formerly a Patreon-exclusive!

Should we still celebrate THE LORD OF THE RINGS? Michael Moorcock once penned an infamous and scathing takedown of JRR Tolkien’s LOTR series, but is it convincing today? Luke & James react to his argument about the inherent Toryism and “corrupted Romance” of Tolkien’s writing, as well as that of C.S. Lewis and Richard Adams. This episode is an example of the kind of experimental things we put out on Patreon!
