DOES IT ADAPT ?!?

Hello and welcome to this month's episode of Does It Adapt? This month, we are discussing how a narrator can shape, immerse and adapt a story into a vibrant and engaging world. The narrator in question? The man, the myth, the legend: Ray "f'ing" Porter! We get into the nitty gritty of how his style, skill and voice have gained him notoriety and acclaim with many authors within the industry. So, will we be able to decipher and decode the details of this dominating and driven wordsmith? Or will we secretly strive to stop in shocked silence to this superhuman storyteller?

Hello there. This week, in a galaxy far, far away, we talk about Star Wars! While Star Wars itself is a not a adapted work, it has had many adaptions into different media. From TV to video games, Star Wars has seen many different stories told over the decades. However, not every single one has been the diamond in the rough that the original trilogy was. It has usually one step forwards and then some massive steps back. Some will say this is due to Disney buying out Lucasfilms to continue the universal trek into other galaxies is the reason for the lack of quality. That is for you to figure out and for us to discuss! So Join us and our friend. The1Troj, this week as we discuss. So will we get consistently confused with the continuously confounded and complex choices made by Disney or will we see that these shows and games are indeed the droids we are looking for..

Hello and welcome to this month's episode of Does it Adapt! This month we have an incredibly special guest joining and someone that has has been frequently talked about on the podcast! Multiple award winning and New York Times best selling author, Jonathan Maberry! He joins us to give insight into his mind when it comes to cosmic horror and the ever changing world of his Joe Ledger series. We discuss potential tv shows and even some possible journeys into the tabletop/board game world. So will these massively marveled men fall for the magic of the mighty Maberry? Or will they rise righteously to rapidly raise the right questions for the amazing author?

Happy new year and welcome to Does It Adapt?!? This month we are taking a look at the wonderful and whimsical worlds of ttrpgs and rpgs as a whole! Due to the success of media such as The Legend of Vox Machina, The Dungeons and Dragons movie, and Stranger Things, we have seen a resurgence of interest in these old tales of yore. However, do we see success on the horizon for these stories or will these magically manic and mighty marvels produce more and more mistakes down the road?

Hello and welcome the 2025 Does It Adapt recap! We had a variable year of different adaptions to look into. Some were continuation of stories we already covered and others were whole sub genres. We tackled everything from DC comics to anime! However, with new changes on the horizon for so many things we covered, do we still believe they can be adapted well? So was this year a woeful and worrisome wonder that whisked us away to a wintery grave of adaptions? Or like the phoenix, will 2026 rise from the ashes and give us the adaptions we truly want?

Hello! Welcome to this month's Does It Adapt, featuring our frequent cohost, Rusty! This month we take a different approach to adaptations by looking into how an author has adapted one genre into his own style! Author Jonathan Maberry has taken to writing his takes on the world of H.P. Lovecraft and cosmic horror! With books like Kagen the Damned and Necrotek, this author has brought a new spin onto this genre. He even has followed in the steps of past Lovecraftian writers and published through Weird Tales Magazine as well as become editor for the publication! So will Jonathan show us the frightful and freakish fathoms of frequently feared underwater cities? Or will he give us a story that truly makes us go insane?

Hello and welcome to this month's Does It Adapt! This time, we are exploring a world of animated arcs and absolutely amazing action with anime! Shows like One Piece and Yu Yu Hakasho have came into then limelight. Many different animes have been adapted to the silver screen but not all have been as successful as their 2D counterparts. Considering these shows are based of the illustrated medium of Manga, one would hope that these stories would be given the best treatment once made into real life. However, that's not always the case. So will these live action versions of these cartoonish, crafted creations become credible? Or will these shows have their names written in the Death Note?

Hello and welcome to this month's Does it Adapt!! This time, we will be discussing something that is near and dear to every kids heart. Disney! However, we are going to be going over the ups and downs of the attempts at live action remakes. Some have hit the spot and some have just completely missed the mark. Some haven't even been made yet but fans are clamoring for them to be released. So will Disney definitely deliver on the dramatic and delectable retelling of its stories or will they delve into despair and darkness desperately trying to drain our wallets?

Hello and welcome to Does It Adapt?! This month, we are tackling more adaptions of the beloved horror author, Stephen King! On this episode, we will be swimming into a sea of suspense, surrealism and slumber with The Shining and Doctor Sleep! Cherished by many, Stanley Kubrick's take on the classical novel has been seen as a masterpiece by many a viewer. However, according to the the book's own author, Kubrick meddled with the overarching story too much and lead to Mr. King's disdain of the film. Enter Mike Flanagan, who directed and helped bring to life the sequel novel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. King has shown his admiration for entry and has praised its direction. We discuss our thoughts on both films, differences from the book to screen and address why we feel Mike Flanagan's approach to the sequel reinforced Kubrick's vision to make both films a force to be reckoned with. So will all work and no play make us a couple of dull boys or do we see a terrific and triumphant turn of two tumultuous titans come forth to make us scream in terror?
