Stephen King says Frank Darabont's adaptation of this novella is one of his favorites out of the many films made from his work, and for good reason: it's spectacular! In episode 269, Luke & James discuss the warden as the devil theory, which iconic shot Roger Deakins regrets, the differences between Stanley Kubrick and Darabont forcing so many takes, what people say to Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman everywhere they go, and how sometimes going for broad appeal is the right choice.

Before it was an award-winning film "The Shawshank Redemption" began as one of four novellas published in world-famous horror-writer Stephen King's collection DIFFERENT SEASONS. In episode 268, Luke & James discuss the evolving popularity of novellas today (including THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR), the parallels between the main characters and a certain famous detective duo, the ways King makes sure we stay on Andy Dufrense's side, and the injustice of a corrupt for-profit prison system.

Join them next week when they discuss Frank Darabont's famous adaptation starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins!

Before The Wheel of Time came to Amazon, another, bizarre version came to FXX. In this former Patreon-exclusive, Luke & James react to James Seda's adaptation of Robert Jordan's epic--well, at least the first 6 pages or so of it. Join them to hear our thoughts on the unfortunate production, the tragic backstory, and the sneaky tactics used by the production company in an attempt to retain the rights to the massively popular IP.

Chris Van Allsburg is a successful author of multiple children's books, but it was Joe Johnston's adaptation of JUMANJI that kicked off the franchise we know today. In episode 267, Luke & James revisit a staple of their childhood, explore what 90s cinema teaches about manhood, talk about the legacy of Robin Williams, and explore the wild implications of a pair of time-travelling adults. They finish off by casting their votes on which was better: the book or the movie!

Edward Berger's modern retelling of Erich Maria Remarque's landmark novel won multiple awards but made some significant changes to the source material. In episode 266, Luke & James are joined by history teacher Tom Leonard to debate how effective the changes were, delve into the real-world history, recognize Chekov's smoking goose, and ultimately each cast their votes on what was the better version: the book or the movie.

Erich Maria Remarque's career defining novel was so influential it created a new genre, got banned by fascists, and recently got adapted again into an award-winning film by Edward Berger. In episode 265, Luke & James imagine the horrors of a senseless war fought in the trenches, find empathy for the enemy, keep their pancakes intact, and analyze why the themes of this novel endure to this day.

David Cronenberg's adaptation of "The Fly" by George Langelaan reimagines the story as one of a gradual, gruesome transformation into a monster with horrifying results. In episode 264, Luke & James consider the "teletransportation paradox", try to understand the flesh, debate the purpose of shock and disgust, and ask the question: "would you do it?" They finish by casting their votes on which is better, the short story or the film!

Catherine Hardwicke's adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's already successful teen vampire novel launched the mega-franchise as we know it today. In episode 263, Luke & James react to the movie whose reputation precedes it, looming vampires at your bedside, cringe cringe cringe, video game style action posing, and a needle-drop baseball sequence to remember. They end by casting their votes on which is ultimately the better version: the book or the movie!

Stephenie Meyer exploded in popularity with her angsty, teenage-heartthrob, vampire romance novels. The book brought a lot of people joy, but also made a lot of other people furious. In episode 262, after the dust has settled, Luke & James read the novel for the first time and try to figure out how it came to be one of the most talked about books of all time, including the author's unexpected path to superstardom, the merits of "quality" prose, how the book borrows from horror, and whether they would choose to become sparkly vampires themselves. Join them next week for the film!
