About this episode

Mark and Al discuss their shared passion for fantasy novels and their adaptations in media.

Mark and Al share their mutual interest in fantasy novels. Is "high fantasy" fundamentally different than what enjoyed as kids? Did Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and HBO's Game of Thrones show us that these big books are adaptable, or were they exceptions? We're anticipating the upcoming Mistborn/Cosmere adaptations , as we're both into Brandon Sanderson. We also talk about The Wheel of Time , Rings of Power , Earthsea , Shannara , Joe Abercrombie, Robin Hobb, Stephen R. Donaldson, Patrick Rothfuss, Tad Williams, and of course Harry Potter.
