|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6/11/26 | No Muckle on the Spule Bane - "The Bride of Lammermoor" | Inspired by Opera Orlando's production of the tragic opera "Lucia di Lammermoor." I read the book it was adapted from: Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Bride of Lammermoor." The book is pretty good and, weirdly, often quite funny which is *very* different than the opera. It was an interesting read, especially after having seen the opera. | — | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | Remorse and Bitter Tears - Opera Orlando's "Lucia di Lammermoor" | A look at Opera Orlando's 2024 production of "Lucia di Lammermoor," an 1835 opera by Gaetano Donizetti. The opera is based on Sir Walter's Scott's 1819 novel "The Bride of Lammermoor."This production was put in a Game of Thrones setting and was really good. I also read the book, which I will look at in the next episode. | — | ||||||
| 6/4/26 | A Return to the Black Hills - "The White Buffalo" (novel) | Part 2 of my series on "The White Buffalo." This one both takes an even deeper dive into the novel which, spoilers, is actually pretty good, and revisits the film adaptation with some enlightenment after having read the source. (I recant some of my theories from the previous episode on why the film is the way it is.)It makes me sad that this book is out of print. Again: it's pretty good. | — | ||||||
| 6/1/26 | Impaled on a Sharpened Stake - "The White Buffalo" (1977) | A deep dive into the 1974 Western "The White Buffalo," a film adaptation of Richard Sale's 1975 pulp novel of the same name starring Charles Bronson. This film is kind of a train wreck, but a really interesting one to do an autopsy on.This ended up being the first entry in a two part series about "The White Buffalo". I was so fascinated by this film that my friend James bought me a copy of the out of print novel as a joke. It's *way* better than the film, as in "actually pretty good" and it inspired me to write part 2. (See the next episode). | — | ||||||
| 5/28/26 | Moby Dick: Tokyo Drift - The 2017 Graphic Novel | The last in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode talks about Christophe Chaboute's 2017 black and white graphic novel. Spoiler: It's a really good read and is a good adaptation.. | — | ||||||
| 5/25/26 | 2 Moby 2 Dick - "Moby Dick (1956)" | The second in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode looks at the surprisingly great 1956 film starring Gregory Peck. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | Pelagic Horror and Nihilism - "Moby Dick" | The first in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode is a deep dive into the novel itself, looking at its structure, its writing, and its themes. I *really* like this book. | — | ||||||
| 5/11/26 | Old Sports and Green Lights - Orlando Ballet's "The Great Gatsby" | A deep dive into Orlando Ballet's May 2026 production of "The Great Gatsby" where I talk about the performance and the ballet as an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald classic novel. Spoiler: Ballet is quite good. | — | ||||||
| 5/4/26 | A Big Housecleaning - "Yojimbo (1961)" and "A Fistful of Dollars (1964)" | A deep dive into the Spaghetti Western "A Fistful of Dollars (1964)" and the film it is a direct remake of, Akira Kurosawa's samurai film "Yojimbo (1961)." (Like "got sued" direct remake.)Spoilers: Both are good, but I think "Yojimbo" is better. | — | ||||||
| 4/27/26 | Wanting to Slap a Fool - A Look at Two "Werthers" | An exploration of Opera Orlando's 2025 production of "Werther" and the book it's adapted from: Goethe's 1774 novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther." Spoilers: Both versions are quite good, but I want to punch Werther in the face. "Horrible incel sh*t, Mason" | — | ||||||

| 4/20/26 | Survival, Faith, and Xenomorphs - "Dead Orbit" and "Sacrifice" | A dive into two fantastic comic books set in the Alien universe (i.e. the same franchise as the Sigourney Weaver film Alien), Dead Orbit (2017) and Sacrifice (1993). The two stories are standalone tales that very different from each other and mine a lot of the things I love about Alien. | — | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | A Year of Dracula, Part 3 - "Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)" and "Dracula (1931)" | The last in a series looking at Dracula and its adaptations. This episode is about Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula and the classic 1931 Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Both really interesting adaptations, but #wheresMina | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | A Year of Dracula, Part 2 - "The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)" | The second of three in a series looking at Dracula and its adaptations. This episode is about the 2023 horror film The Last Voyage of the Demeter, an under-seen gem. This movie flopped pretty hard in theaters but really is quite good. | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | A Year of Dracula, Part 1 - The Novel and the Ballet | The first of three in a series looking at Dracula and its adaptations. This episode is about Bram Stoker's 1897 novel with a bonus addendum about Michael Pink's 1996 ballet adaptation. | — | ||||||

| 2/2/26 | If Looking Liking Move - "Romeo and Juliet" (1996) | A deep dive into Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. I take a look at the source play and then the adaptation itself. Spoiler: I don't think it's very good, but it is an interesting movie that's worth seeing.This is the first of 3 episodes about Romeo and Juliet adaptations. | — | ||||||
| 1/26/26 | Painting Her Own Reality - Opera Orlando's "Frida" | A deep dive / historical record of Opera Orlando's January 2024 performance of "Frida," Robert Xavier Rodriguez's 1991 opera about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. There's not much about this opera online and I enjoyed it a lot, so this is my contribution to posterity. | — | ||||||
| 1/19/26 | Macbeth in Japan - Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" | A deep dive into Akira Kurosawa's 1957 film Throne of Blood, an adaptation of Shakepeare's Macbeth set in feudal Japan.

| 1/15/26 | You Murdering Ministers - Orlando Shakes' "Macbeth" | A look at Orlando Shakes's 2024 production of Macbeth. Spoiler: It was good and interesting and I really enjoyed it. (As much as one can "enjoy" the subject matter of Macbeth) | — | ||||||
| 1/12/26 | Fill the Chalice with the Choicest Wine - Opera Orlando's "Macbeth" | My review / analysis of Opera Orlando's 2024 production of Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth. I look at the Opera Orlando production in specific and the opera as an adaptation of Shakespeare's play. | — | ||||||
| 1/5/26 | Enter Four Murderers - M4cbeth | A look at four film versions of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. I was originally just going to watch 1 version, but lost control of the assignment and watched Macbeth (1979), The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021), Macbeth (2015), and Macbeth (1971) in a week.This is the first in a series of 4 episodes about the play and its adaptations. | — | ||||||
| 12/29/25 | Ghosts and Demons in Medieval Japan - Ugetsu (1953) and Onibaba (1964) | A look at two Japanese period films. Both deal with war and its consequence on regular folk. Ugetsu is explicitly a ghost story and Onibaba is about desperation and moral degradation with an ambiguous supernatural element. | — | ||||||
| 12/22/25 | The Real Punk Rock - Superman (2025) | A deep dive into James Gunn's 2025 film Superman. Spoiler: I love this one. I think it's the best Superman film by a good margin and it's probably my favorite movie in quite a while. | — | ||||||
