About this episode

The hosts discuss the chaotic world of book-to-screen adaptations, sharing their opinions on various titles and building a wishlist for future adaptations.

This week Laurel, Claire, and ‘Stina dive fang-first into the chaotic world of book-to-screen adaptations—the good, the meh, and the absolute “who approved this?” disasters. From adaptations that completely lost the plot to the ones that actually understood the assignment, nothing is safe from our judgment. We’re talking the cultural fever dream that is Twilight, the adaptations that did it right (Bridgerton, Outlander), and the ones that had us yelling at our TVs. Naturally, we also build our dream adaptation wishlist—because if Hollywood is listening, we’re ready for Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, and a few lesser-known gems to get their moment on screen. And somehow… glitter dicks enter the conversation. Pour yourself a drink and join us for an episode full of hot takes, chaotic energy, and a whole lot of bookish TV drama. 🍷📚
