Why Modern Adaptations Are Better Than Ever

We started off this Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast episode by greeting everyone with excitement for July and reflecting on how summer used to be a time packed with massive blockbuster releases. We remember those days fondly, when movie theaters were our second homes during the hot months, and every Tuesday felt like a holiday because we could catch the latest release with cheap tickets.There was a nostalgic vibe as we recalled our favorite old, run-down theaters and how those experiences shaped our love of cinema. We laughed about how everyone's collective obsession with Jonathan Bailey and his iconic glasses proves some things never change.We also acknowledged that the movie industry slowed down during the pandemic, but now it feels like we're back to seeing huge summer releases again, reigniting that buzz we missed. This shift inspired us to look at how adaptations of books to film and TV have evolved over the years, especially with the rise of streaming services and changes in how we consume stories.The Evolution Of Adaptations: Then vs. NowThe hosts pointed out a striking difference between adaptations from the ‘90s and early 2000s compared to what we see today.Back then, it was all about flashy blockbusters: big budgets, famous stars, and marketing campaigns that cared more about spectacle than staying true to the book. We shared examples like The Godfather and James Bond films, where audiences often didn't even realize they were adaptations of books.Even classics like Jaws, Psycho, and The Princess Bride fit this pattern; movies overshadowed their literary origins, and the books themselves rarely got a spotlight.We agreed that while there's still some of that today, there's a clear shift.Audiences are savvier, and studios now emphasize the source material more. Actors talk openly about reading the books to prepare for their roles, which feels like a refreshing change compared to the past when many proudly skipped the novel altogether. We explored how adaptations before 2016 felt more like cash grabs, focusing on box office appeal, but since then, there's been a noticeable effort to respect the author's vision.Book Chat: What's On Our Nightstands?In the middle of the conversation, we took a delightful detour to share what we've been reading. Shirin told us about Death in the Downline, a hilarious dark comedy-meets-murder-mystery involving an MLM scheme.She loved how Maria Abrams nailed the dark humor of direct sales culture, people using tragic events to shill products, which is both absurd and eerily true to life. We couldn't stop laughing at examples of characters offering discounts in honor of the dearly departed.Meanwhile, Meaghan shared her excitement for Girl Next Door, an upcoming debut rom-com with LGBTQ+ themes that touches on complex relationships, high school crushes, and small-town drama. She appreciated how the book balanced lighthearted moments with serious topics, promising readers both depth and laughs. Meaghan promised to post a full review when she finishes, noting its September release.The Rise of Series Adaptations And Author InvolvementWe dove deep into why series adaptations have become the gold standard for book-to-screen translations. We argued that movies simply don't have enough time to do justice to complex plots, inner monologues, and rich world-building.For books with multiple installments or intricate character arcs, a TV series allows creators to flesh out the story over several episodes, or even seasons, giving characters and themes room to breathe.One of the biggest changes we observed is the increasing involvement of authors in adaptations. Unlike decades past, where authors often sold rights and lost control, now many are listed as executive producers or consultants.We pointed to examples like Diana Gabaldon with Outlander, Hugh Howey with Silo, and Robin Carr with Sullivan's Crossing. Having authors directly involved often leads to more faithful adaptations and happier fans. We celebrated how this trend gives authors a say in how their stories are interpreted on screen, and we hope it continues.Hits, Misses, And The Future Of AdaptationsNo conversation about adaptations would be complete without a rant about the bad ones, and we had plenty to say! We revisited flops like the Percy Jackson movies, which aged up characters unnecessarily and lost the heart of the books.We also slammed The Golden Compass movie, which butchered Philip Pullman's incredible series with sloppy storytelling. Shirin even shared how the bad movie adaptation soured her on the later TV version, despite positive reviews.On the flip side, we applauded successful adaptations like Gone Girl, where a high-profile director, a star-studded cast, and respect for the source material made for a gripping film. We also praised Shadow and Bone for creatively merging two series with the help of author Leigh Bardugo, which showed how collaboration can turn a complicated universe into a compelling show.We observed how the rise of streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV fueled the adaptation boom. With their constant need for new content and big budgets, they tapped into existing books with built-in audiences, ensuring at least some initial interest.We discussed how the social media era amplifies feedback: fans celebrate faithful adaptations but also quickly and loudly condemn bad ones. Studios now have to tread carefully, knowing poor execution will spark viral backlash.We wrapped up by acknowledging that while not every adaptation will please everyone, we're encouraged by the overall trend toward honoring books and giving authors creative input. We feel hopeful about the future, imagining a world where even more stories we love find their way to the screen in ways that stay true to what made them special in the first place.Final Thoughts And What's NextWe closed the episode by teasing upcoming discussions on newer adaptations we're excited about, and some we might dread.We plan to spend the month of July exploring different examples, unpacking what works, what doesn't, and what we'd like to see going forward. We agreed that adaptations don't need to be word-for-word recreations, but we want to see creators who care about the original work and respect what made it resonate with readers in the first place.Ultimately, we're thrilled to see authors getting credit, adaptations getting smarter, and audiences more engaged than ever. We can't wait to continue the conversation and hear what you, our fellow book lovers, think about this evolution. Let's keep hoping for adaptations that make us feel the same magic we did the first time we turned those pages.

Critique of Hollywood and Media Bias: Cruz argues that the NYT list prioritizes political messaging over storytelling and entertainment. He claims the list reflects elitist, left-leaning Hollywood values and ignores popular, inspirational, or patriotic films. Alternative Film List: Cruz presents his own list of 30 films from the past 25 years that he believes are more representative of quality cinema. His selections include: Gladiator, The Patriot, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, American Sniper, Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick, and Avatar. He emphasizes true stories, war films, musicals, and movies with strong moral or patriotic themes. Personal Movie Preferences: Cruz shares his favorite films (The Princess Bride, The Godfather, Scarface, Fletch), and discusses his love for musicals and classic comedies. He recounts personal anecdotes, including taking his mother to Broadway shows and watching Saving Private Ryan and Dallas Buyers Club. Cultural Commentary: The conversation touches on broader cultural issues, such as the disconnect between Hollywood and everyday Americans, the importance of storytelling, and the role of cinema in shaping public perception.

Berkowitz Bros on The Writer, Their Aggressively Middle-Aged Hero

We love a good comic book explosion. The Writer smashes superheroes, comic book history, Jewish Folklore, Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride, Mike Mignola, and a little Looney Tunes existential dread. It's born from a unique sibling collaboration between the Berkowitz Bros., Max and Ben, as well as actor Josh Gad, master illustrator Ariel Olivetti, and letterer Frank Cvetkovic. At its center is the aggressively middle-aged Stan Siegel, a comic book writer avoiding life's next big chapter, who gets sucked into a supernatural battle with demons and nazis. And drags his mother and daughter into that war alongside him. The Writer is a meta feast for those steeped in comics and pop culture, nodding to the iconic and not-so-iconic characters who populate our collective imagination. With the trade paperback now available from Dark Horse Comics, we were eager to have the Berkowitz Bros. on the show this week. We discuss their comic book origin stories, a particular Bob Kane painting, middle-aged hero worship, and celebrating family. The conversation stirs intense feelings about siblings and why they make the best and worst collaborators. Also, during this week's introduction, we dive into our first HeroesCon experience. Did we meet all the creators we wanted to meet? Did we buy all the comics we wanted to buy? Are Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm as cool in person as they are in our six Spectrum podcast episodes? We get into it. And don't forget to follow the Berkowitz Bros. on Blue Sky, Instagram, and their website. This Week's Sponsor We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading!

There are performers that impact your life without you even knowing it and today's guest fits that bill. On the show, we have comedic genius, multi-award-winning actor, writer, producer, director, and television host, Billy Crystal. We've seen Billy's versatile work across all areas in the entertainment world, stand-up, improv, Broadway, behind and in front of the camera, feature films, television, live stages like SNL, and animated movies. It's fascinating how much the man has done over the span of his career---and his lengthy IMDB page is only the tip of the iceberg.Billy's career took off for his role in the 70's sitcom SOAP, where he played a gay character, Jodie Dallas. This launched him into box office hits such as When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers, Analyze This, and the kids' favorite, Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc. just to name a few. Aside from hosting the Oscars® a record nine times and being only one step away from an EGOT, he's a philanthropist. Billy, along with Whoopi Goldberg and the late Robin Williams created the annual fundraiser stand-up comedy show, Comic Relief, in 1986 that has over the years, raised over $60 million to support the homeless. The late 80s and early 90s were a really magical time for Billy's career. He had the box office hits Running Scared and Throw Momma from the Train. He had scene-stealing parts in the classics This is Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride. There's the 1989 box office smash hit When Harry Met Sally, starring Billy alongside Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher. The story follows Harry and Sally who had known each other for years, and are very good friends, but they fear sex would ruin the friendship.You can't talk about Billy Crystal classics without mentioning City Slickers for which he won a Golden Globes award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical/Comedy. On the verge of turning 40, an unhappy Manhattan yuppie is roped into joining his two friends on a cattle drive in the southwest.Billy's interest in entertainment started way before college. But his decision to go to NYU put some goals into place for him. He was a member of an improv/comedy group in college and soon he started to host solo standup shows. By 1978, he landed his first starring feature film role in Rabbit Test in which he starred with Joan Rivers. Towards the end of the 90s, Billy joined iconic Robert De Niro and Lisa Kudrow in the box blockbuster hit Analyze This and its sequel to Analyze That.Billy's work transcends generations and Gen Z is his newest fandom; distinctively for his role in Monster Inc. and Monsters University, Mike Wazowski. Monsters University revisits the relationship between Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sully" Sullivan during their days at Monsters University when they weren't necessarily the best of friends.Billy will reprise his role as Mike Wazowski in the Monsters at Work Disney+ series that is set for release later this year.One defining element of Billy's work, be it writing, acting, or directing is that he pulls from real-life experiences and balances funny and hard conversations effortlessly. Having started out in the business since he was 20 years old, it is absolutely thrilling to watch how he's knitted together diverse platforms and filed into an accomplished career. This Friday, May 7th, Billy's newest film, in which he wrote and directed, Here Today, stars himself and the incredibly funny, Tiffany Haddish, will be released only in theaters. These two make a seamless pairing and their chemistry is oh so charming. The intergenerational teaming of Billy and Tiffany tells a love story that is of friendship, support, and empathy. I absolutely LOVED the film. Do yourself a favor and go out and catch this gem of a film. When veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz meets New York street singer Emma Payge, they form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.Billy has always been there to make me laugh, in good times and bad. I can not tell you what an honor and thrill it was getting to sit down and speak to a filmmaker, writer, and actor that has meant so much to me in my life.Enjoy my entertaining conversation with Billy Crystal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Originally aired: March 15, 2019 on Return to the '80s This week on GenX Journeys Throwback Thursday, we're revisiting a gem from the Return to the '80s archives—my incredible conversation with film critic and author Helen O'Hara! Helen writes for Empire Magazine and The Telegraph, and she had just released her brilliant book Best Movies of the 80s when we recorded this episode. We kicked things off by celebrating her book and our shared love for some of the most iconic films of the decade. Then we dove into The Princess Bride—a film beloved by many, and one of Helen's all-time favorites (mine too!). We talked about the legendary cast, memorable moments, and the magic that's made it a cultural classic. But the conversation also took an insightful turn as we explored how the title may have initially alienated some viewers, particularly boys and men, and why Hollywood still tends to avoid feminine-leaning titles. Whether you're a lifelong fan of The Princess Bride or just love geeking out over '80s movies, this one's for you.

Veteran crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) comes out of retirement to mentor him, while neurosurgeon Dr. Claire Lewicki (Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge!, The Hours) brings both medical help and romance to the pit. Cole's fierce rivalry with champion Rowdy Burns (Michael Rooker, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead) ignites on-track drama, and his teammate Russ Wheeler (Cary Elwes, The Princess Bride, Saw) pushes the tension even further. Rounding out the crew is team owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid, Independence Day, The Last Starfighter) and car chief Buck Bretherton (John C. Reilly, Step Brothers, Chicago). Andrew & Roxy break down every unforgettable scene—from the slingshot pass at Darlington and the fiery crash into the Texas oil tank, to the emotional, high-velocity finale at Daytona where Cole risks everything to pull a friend from a burning wreck. Tune in for an in-depth reaction to the film's gravity-defying stunts, behind-the-scenes Bruckheimer flair, and Hans Zimmer's thunderous score!

In this heartwarming episode, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the timeless Jewish mitzvah of bikkur cholim—visiting the sick. Using the classic film The Princess Bride as a surprising entry point, Rabbi Feigelson reminds us that the story begins not with sword fights or giants, but with an act of love and compassion: a grandfather visiting his ill grandson. The latest episode in a 10-part series on Jewish ethics and mindfulness uses the teachings from Maimonides and Jewish tradition to explore how this sacred practice is both an act of kindness (gemilut hasadim) and a reflection of the mitzvah to love our neighbors as ourselves. Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.

This week, Aubrey and Tim put three legendary directors under the microscope: Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, and Quentin Tarantino. They debate and discuss the highs and lows from each filmmaker's career, covering classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, and more — as well as some controversial misfires like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Expect a spirited, insightful discussion full of hot takes and surprising opinions!Next, Professor Aubrey shares her experience participating in another Tesla Takedown protest. Dressed as a narwhal with a sign that boldly declared "Narwhals Against Nazis," she recounts the energy, creativity, and importance of standing up for what's right, blending humor with powerful activism.Tim the Nerd also has a lot to celebrate this week.
