In it, Kristen offers an endlessly fascinating look at 52 beloved screen adaptations and the great reads that inspired them. Some films, like Clueless — Amy Heckerling's interpretation of Jane Austen's Emma — diverge wildly from the original source material, while others, like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, shift the point of view to craft a different experience within the same story.  Kristen explores just what makes these works classics of both the page and screen, and why each made for an exceptional adaptation — whether faithful to the book or exemplifying cinematic creative license. Kristen is a pop culture essayist, TV editor for IndieWire, and she's worked as an entertainment journalist for over 15 years, with her articles appearing at Variety, MTV, TCM, and Roger Ebert.  A California native, Kristen was raised in a small suburb near Sacramento and graduated with a Masters in English from California State University, Sacramento.  She is also the creator of the classic film podcast, Ticklish Business.  In her free time, Kristen enjoys reading and finding Old Hollywood connections in her neighborhood.  She joined us from her home in Los Angeles.

Skye & Amanda read Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted Word by author and professor, Cal Newport and discuss what productivity can look like when we go into a state of distraction-free concentration that pushes our cognitive capabilities to their limit. The two break down Newport's theory on deep work vs shallow work and how much of our time is taken away from the focus we need to take us, our passions, skills and careers to the next level. They each reflect on where they struggle when it comes to focusing their attention and time into one task and how the book is shifting their thinking and plans for their calendars. Listen in to learn about the methods of deep work and what is needed to build a realistic plan that you can ritualize and sustain.Books mentioned in this week's episode are linked to our Bookshop.org shop* Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted Word by Cal Newport This week's ‘Bout That Action! highlight is: Well Read Black Girl Follow @wellreadblackgirl on IG and get your tickets to this year's virtual Well Read Black Girl Festival, taking place online 10/26-10/30Check out what Skye & Amanda have been loving this week: In Treatment TV series on HBO Netflix announcement of Book Club and social series “But Have You Read the Book?”Food52 Brown Butter BlondiesSupport Long Story Short and Local Bookstores: Libro.FM - get two audiobooks for the price of one when you use the code LSSPODCAST when signing up for your first month of membership. Long Story Short Hotline: (646) 543-6232Follow us online:Instagram: @LongStoryShortPodTwitter: @LSSpodcastFacebook: @LongStoryShortPodEmail: info.longstoryshortpod@gmail.com*Purchasing books through Bookshop.org earns Long Story Short a small commission.
