About this episode

This episode discusses the film adaptation of Artemis Fowl and its various challenges and shortcomings.

Artemis Fowl is many things: a character, a book, a best-selling children's series, a long resident of development hell and a massive investment in a potential franchise. But as a film, it basically doesn’t exist. If you want to support the show, we have a Patreon!

If you have any questions about this insane film please ask them! I will do my best to answer since I had to cut of lot of very minor details because they "sounded unhinged", "were visual nitpicks on an audio medium" and "made the episode longer than the movie".
