  • It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek

    It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek
    Sep 27 2024
    This month, we keep things close to home, which makes sense given that last month we were quite far from home. We go small like we’ve never gone before, diving into a local adaptation of R.U.R., or Rossum’s Universal Robots, by Karel Čapek. It’s not necessary to have gone to our local theater for the … Continue reading It’s not Jersey Boys! R.U.R, by Karel Čapek →

    We had a fun time recording live at WorldCon with a few select friends in the audience, talking about games and video games adapted into movies. And with a bonus quiz from listener and fellow podcaster Andy Parry. We discuss (briefly) Battleship, Doom, and Clue, and also mention a number of other game to movie … Continue reading Live at Glasgow 2024 WorldCon! Games/Video Games Adapted to Film! →

    Flubber Colonoscopy! (The Absent-Minded Professor/Flubber, based on “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor
    Jul 27 2024
    This time we picked up a very hard to find story, “A Situation of Gravity,” by Samuel W. Taylor, which was adapted into the 1961 movie The Absent-Minded Professor and the 1996 remake Flubber. The story was originally published in the May 22, 1943 issue of Liberty magazine. We couldn’t find that. It was also anthologized in … Continue reading Flubber Colonoscopy!

    A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeline L’Engle
    May 31 2024
    It’s unfortunately time to talk about the A Wrinkle In Time adaptations. We also discuss the book, of course, but I tried to pull back a bit since my fuller thoughts on the book are also covered in my Hugos There episode with Mandy Self: https://hugospodcast.com/podcast/a-wrinkle-in-time-by-madeline-lengle-feat-mandy-self/ Rankings! Colin/James/Seth: book very large chasm, perhaps a cloud … Continue reading A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeline L’Engle →

    Arachnotherapy! (Spaceman of Bohemia)
    Apr 17 2024
    In this episode, we discuss the new Adam Sandler movie (okay, it came out March 1st, but it was new for us!) Spaceman, based on Spaceman of Bohemia, by Jaroslav Kalfar. It’s an interesting adaptation of an interesting book, but don’t go in looking for an action movie. It’s not necessary to read the book … Continue reading Arachnotherapy! (Spaceman of Bohemia) →
