In this episode of Shelf To Screen Joe, Jen, and Tom review H.G. Wells seminal sci-fi novel The War of The Worlds and the 2005 Spielberg/Cruise adaptation of the same name. It's time to ride the lightning! We talk about adaptation choices, including some significant departures, and some surprising echoes! Tom really encourages reading, and his fellow Stuyvesant alum! Joe loves the quick pace, and hates aliens who get stuck on your photo wall! Jen brings her own heat ray, and doesn't like gear-heads! All that, plus peanut butter stunts and piss-poor planning!
