Let’s talk about one of the most influential SFF writers of all time, the great Ursula K. Le Guin. In episode 270, Luke & James explore the legacy of Le Guin’s body of work, the power of manifesting dreams into reality, why she isn’t afraid to break contracts with the reader, and the novelty of putting Portland at the center of everything. Join them next week when they discuss the 1980 film adaptation by David Loxton & Fred Barzyk!

Stephen King says Frank Darabont’s adaptation of this novella is one of his favorites out of the many films made from his work, and for good reason: it’s spectacular! In episode 269, Luke & James discuss the warden as the devil theory, which iconic shot Roger Deakins regrets, the differences between Stanley Kubrick and Darabont forcing so many takes, what people say to Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman everywhere they go, and how sometimes going for broad appeal is the right choice.

Before it was an award-winning film "The Shawshank Redemption" began as one of four novellas published in world-famous horror-writer Stephen King’s collection DIFFERENT SEASONS. In episode 268, Luke & James discuss the evolving popularity of novellas today (including THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR), the parallels between the main characters and a certain famous detective duo, the ways King makes sure we stay on Andy Dufrense’s side, and the injustice of a corrupt for-profit prison system.

Before The Wheel of Time came to Amazon, another, bizarre version came to FXX. In this former Patreon-exclusive, Luke & James react to James Seda's adaptation of Robert Jordan's epic--well, at least the first 6 pages or so of it. Join them to hear our thoughts on the unfortunate production, the tragic backstory, and the sneaky tactics used by the production company in an attempt to retain the rights to the massively popular IP.

Chris Van Allsburg is a successful author of multiple children’s books, but it was Joe Johnston’s adaptation of JUMANJI that kicked off the franchise we know today. In episode 267, Luke & James revisit a staple of their childhood, explore what 90s cinema teaches about manhood, talk about the legacy of Robin Williams, and explore the wild implications of a pair of time-travelling adults. They finish off by casting their votes on which was better: the book or the movie!

Edward Berger’s modern retelling of Erich Maria Remarque’s landmark novel won multiple awards but made some significant changes to the source material. In episode 266, Luke & James are joined by history teacher Tom Leonard to debate how effective the changes were, delve into the real-world history, recognize Chekov’s smoking goose, and ultimately each cast their votes on what was the better version: the book or the movie.
