Grab your money and passports and search for your missing loved one because guest Alex Aaron from the 180 Rule podcast and I talk about how we would adapt "The Riders" by Tim Winton into a feature length film. We ponder if it could've been made in the 1990s or the 2000s as well as how to streamline it without sacrificing its wandering and dream-like spirit.

Grab your semaa and study up on chemistry and Ojibwe culture because guest Alyson Wick and I discuss how we would adapt "Firekeeper's Daughter" by Angeline Boulley! We talk about how to honor its spirit both with tone and representation. I even reveal the latest developments of the Netflix adaptation. Also, I kept mixing up the Hulu show "Reservation Dogs" with "Reservoir Dogs." I blame Quentin Tarentino, but in all do seriousness, go watch "Reservation Dogs!" It's great!

Travel back to early 1960s Britain because guest Dash Silva and I talk about how to adapt "The Ballad of Peckham Rye" - one of the lesser-known novels by Muriel Spark. We discuss how the book is universal and a product of its time (in a good way) and how it fits the tone of the Ealing Studio comedies. We had a devilishly good time!
