Episodes

We’re breaking from the norm today and discussing the film that’s based, in one way or another, on maybe more books than any other movie in history! Join us as we review the 2023 D&D film and nerd out about races, classes, magical items, and more!

Jaws was one of the most successful debut novels in history, and its film successor literally invented the summer blockbuster. So… how does this classic adaptation hold up? Was the book the better work, despite the continued fame of the film?

Get ready for a sandstorm of opinions! In this episode, we unpack Dune Part 2 — from Paul’s rise to power to Chani’s no-nonsense attitude and some serious Harkonnen creepiness.

The spice must flow, and so must the opinions! In this episode, we dive into Dune Part One — sandworms, spice, and Timothée Chalamet’s brooding stares.

As four believers, reviewing Jesus Revolution was a family favorite and cut deep to the soul!

How does Ernest Cline’s futuristic and dystopian 1980s love letter compare to the 2018 film adaptation? (Hint: there’s so much different that it’s like experiencing a whole new story.)

This children’s book has been a memorable classic for decades. The family discusses the (somewhat minor) differences from book to both the 1971 and 2005 films — but don’t worry, we mostly stick to the original. The Tim Burton version is just…creepy.

Love it or hate it (or keep pretending it’s not a Christmas movie), Die Hard is a forever classic that has a permanent place in our family’s collective heart. The book, however… will definitely NOT hold such a spot.

Our family is a collective group of Christmas nerds — so what did we think about the extensive number of adaptations this classic novella spurned?
