S03E17 — Ender's Game

Alright baby listeners… this week we’re heading to Battle School. 🚀

We’re talking Ender’s Game, the beloved sci-fi classic that somehow manages to be about genius children in space while also being deeply upsetting the entire time.

We break down the massive differences between the book and the 2013 movie adaptation, including why the film feels way more like a YA blockbuster, why the book’s political themes hit so much harder, and why aging the kids up changes basically everything.
