Adapt or Die episodes
- The Lego Movie: Everything is Adaptable
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!! Because we're talking about The Lego Movie and the building block toys that inspired it. It's sweet, it's fun, and it barely fits the premise of this show but we don't really care.

43 min - Divergent (2014): When Themes Fail
Sometimes, an adaptation is so bad, we have to spend days trying to figure out what went wrong. That's exactly what happened with Divergent, the 2014 YA dystopia movie based on the book by Veronica Roth. At least the knife-throwing scene was pretty hot.
Content warning: contains discussion of suicide & suicidal ideation.
