Inhale some spice and get ready for the sandworm ride of your life, because we read Frank Herbert's 1965 epic Dune and it's 1984 adaptation written and directed by David Lynch. We get into the genius that is Herbert's groundbreaking and genre-bending novel before trying to make sense of Sting in a space diaper. The confusion kicks off with Virginia Madsen's disembodied head giving us a lot of exposition and things go down dune hill from there. Stay tuned for an episode on the 2021 Dune (the Radaptations debuts of Jason Momoa *and* Oscar Isaac?!).

Happy New Year from the Radaptations sisters! We're ready to say goodbye to 2021 by looking back on all the titles we read and watched last year. In this episode, you'll be treated to some non-adaptation book and movie recommendations before we award the annual Raddies to the best and worst titles from our canon. If you're reading and watching along with us, prepare yourself for Frank Herbert's DUNE dropping in February 2022.

Recommendations include: The Blair Witch Project, The Ring, Hereditary, Session 9, Annihilation, The House Next Door, House of Leaves, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Ginny also crushes a quiz that asks her to identify: exorcism movie, movie starring a cast member from The Exorcist, or fake movie that Bridget made up. Thank you for another wonderful year of Radaptations—we'll return in January with the 6th Annual Raddy Awards!

No summer would be complete without the Radaptations sisters' deep dive into JAWS, both the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley and its 1975 adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg. It's the summer of boys on boats, and we're chumming the waters with Roy Scheider's fascinating face, Richard Dreyfuss' chest hair, and Robert Shaw's… whole deal. This episode is PACKED with trivia on the book and film, complete with a dramatic reading of a bitchy letter Peter Benchley sent to the filmmakers. Grab your sunscreen, floaties, and beach towel… this is a super-sized episode (just like Jaws' jaws, which we're told are enormous). Stay tuned for an episode on spiritual successor to Jaws, DEEP BLUE SEA.

Happy New Year from the Radaptations sisters! We’re ready to bid farewell to 2020 by looking back on all the titles we took on in 2020, our Year of the Ladies. You’ll be treated to some very special book and movie recommendations before we reflect on the special moments from our 2020 episodes (mostly Owen Wilson hootin’ and hollerin’ in The Haunting). Of course, we also award the annual Raddies to the best and worst titles from our canon. If you’re reading and watching along with us, make sure to tune in for our episode on Who Framed Roger Rabbit (yes, this is an adaptation) dropping in February 2021.

We read Shirley Jackson's universally loved 1959 gothic novel The Haunting of Hill House and watched its 2018 Netflix adaptation masterfully helmed by Mike Flanagan. We get into the business of terror versus horror, repressed queerness, and of course FOOD, before discussing all 10 episodes of the show. Tune in to hear about our favorite scary moments and which Crain siblings the Radaptations sisters identify with the most! Be on the lookout for our next episode in which we'll discuss the 1999 adaptation titled The Haunting (Owen Wilson gets decapitated in a scene that's not meant to be funny but really, really is).

Oh wow, Christian Bale. In a vest. Eating pudding. Yes, today we're talking about 1994's Little Women, written by Robin Swicord and directed by Gillian Armstrong! We begin with some direct comparisons to Greta's 2019 version before diving right in to all things Winona Ryder and the rest of this truly excellent cast. Of course, it wouldn't be an episode of Radaptations without a jaunt into thirst-town, and today we have our sights set on Literal Hot Dad Gabriel Byrne (he carries oranges in his pocket and enjoys the opera, ok?!). Stay tuned for our episode on To All the Boys I've Loved Before, dropping in April!

Happy New Year from the Radaptations sisters! In this very special episode, we kick 2019 to the curb while looking back on all of the titles we took on this past year. You'll be treated to some very special book and movie recommendations before we dive into the 4th annual Raddy Awards! What will take home the top prize for Best Adaptation?

Happy Halloween! We're treating you to a scary episode in which we talk all about I Know What You Did Last Summer, both the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan and the 1997 film starring Jennifer Love Hewitt! Catch a glimpse of youth culture in the 70s from Duncan's book as we grapple with the Vietnam War, gender relations, and high school home economics requirements. You'll also be treated to a history lesson about the horror genre in the U.S., learning how I Know What You Did Last Summer sits squarely in the era of the slasher-revival. Of course, in true Radaptations sisters fashion, we get overly analytical and hypothesize what life would have been like for our favorite baddie fisherman had he successfully offed Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. Stay tuned for our minisode out in November on the sequel, aptly titled I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and be sure to check out other women-hosted movie podcasts in the Lady Pod Squad Network by following #LadyPodSquad.

Welcome to a super duper sized minisode of Radaptations, in which we talk about seasons 2 and 3 of HBO's The Leftovers. The sisters work through some serious brain-teasers that this bonkers show presents to the audience in the form of a lion sex cult, among other things. Come for the beard discourse, stay for the thorough list of Kevin Garvey trivia. Read along with us as we prepare for a spooky Halloween episode on I Know What You Did Last Summer, out in October!

**This episode randomly contains spoilers for the 8 year old film Contagion** Unlike dinosaurs, we’re back! And we’re bringing you some recasting options for a Jurassic Park reboot—Who looks good in aviators? Who can flirt with zero abandon in the Ian Malcolm tradition? Who can pull off both raptor expertise and knee-high game socks? Ginny then delivers a quiz about dinosaurs in popular culture before we share some of our favorite creature features. Of course, we have new entries for the ever-expanding Radaptations shared universe, and you’re not going to want to miss the sisters’ reactions as they each offer a deep cut. Get ready for another full episode on The Leftovers dropping in August and in the meantime, keep in touch on Twitter @Radaptations!

Mind your manners, because that little noble bear is back in our special minisode on Paddington 2, quite possibly the best film we've ever seen on Radaptations. But before we get there, Ginny takes a quiz on other fictional bears and their homes before we hear two new entries in the shared Radaptations Universe! You won't want to miss our conversation about Paddington 2 because we talk all about Hugh Grant's fashions, knuckle tattoos, and reveal who we think might be the beefiest beef boy to ever beef on the show.

Happy New Year from the Radaptations sisters! In this very special episode, we bid adieu to 2018 and look back on all of the titles we took on over the past year. You'll be treated to some very special non-adaptations book and movie recommendations, and not one but TWO quizzes before we dive into the 3rd annual Raddy Awards, complete with some new categories this year!

We’re back, baby!! After a LONG unexpected hiatus, we’re bringing you a tale of revenge and intrigue with The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas! Yes, we read the 1,000+ page tome in order to get to the bottom of what is up with this sneaky Count. Pirates? Check. Poison? Check. Presumed dead children? Check. This book really has it all. Plus, we watched the 2002 adaptation starring Jim Caviezel and Radaptations alum Guy Pearce. The plotting, the scheming, and… those grapes?! We discuss it all in our long-awaited return to your earbuds. Keep in touch on Twitter @Radaptations, and stay tuned for the minisode on The Count of Monte Cristo, out soon!

In today's minisode, we continue our conversation about Limitless by speculating what other famous Bradley Cooper characters would be like on NZT. This gives way to a segment about fictional drugs in science-fiction books and movies, and then, inspired by Sans Limites, Bridget gives Ginny a quiz about French titles of American movies! Radaptations will be back in October for our annual Halloween episode. In the meantime, keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We read the 2001 novel The Dark Fields (later retitled Limitless) by Alan Glynn and watched the 2011 adaptation Limitless directed by a Radaptations distinguished alum Neil Burger starring two more Radaptations distinguished alum Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro! Today we're talking about drugs, man. But on top of that, we take a deep dive into the late 90s/early 2000s obsession with day-trading and debate the effectiveness of using an ice skate as a weapon. Most importantly though, we offer up our thoughts as to whether or not Bradley Cooper is capable of murder. Live your life without limits and visit us on Twitter @Radaptations.

We have a special treat for you at the start of this minisode on Fahrenheit 451 in which we recast any film with Michael B. Jordan as the good guy and Michael Shannon as the bad guy (seriously— try it yourself. It works with literally every movie ever made). We also bring you some examples of the manic pixie dream girl before Ginny delivers a fun math quiz! In this minisode, you'll also hear Bridget's Michael Shannon impression which will both shock and delight you. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com or @Radaptations. And tune in next time when we discuss Alan Glynn's 2001 book The Dark Fields and its 2011 film adaptation Limitless starring Bradley Cooper!

Just in time for the DVD/rental release, we read the 1962 book A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and watched the 2018 adaptation directed by Ava DuVernay starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and many more! We talk all about this trippy science-filled tale before diving into the power of Chris Pine's eyebrows. Do the Radaptations sisters agree with the negative reviews of this film? Which character from the book did Ginny identify with as a kid? Most importantly, what do they think about Oprah's silver lipstick?! Tune in to find out, and stay tuned at the end of the episode when we reveal what our next title is! Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

In today's minisode, we discuss some of our favorite Guy Pearce titles before getting into a segment in which friend of the show Criss Angel makes yet another appearance. We go down a strange and sentimental road relating to Pierce Brosnan movies Dante's Peak and Remember Me (don't ask, just listen), before talking through some films that are fun to rewatch after knowing the twist ending. We treat you to another piece of the puzzle that is our mother as Bridget recounts the time she saw The Sixth Sense in a crowded and unsuspecting theater. Then, Ginny brings us an excellent quiz on famous movie tattoos!

Christopher Nolan is BACK making his second appearance on the show with the 2000 classic Memento starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano, based on a short story written by Christopher's brother Jonathan Nolan! In today's episode, you'll hear us talk backwards and forwards (see what we did there?) about the short-story's tragedy, the film's legacy, neurology, and Joe Pantoliano's persona. Does Memento hold up beyond it's early-2000s cool factor? More importantly, what do the Radaptations sisters think about Guy Pearce's butt? All will be revealed and more in this episode!

Join us for a continuation of our discussion of Mrs. Doubtfire in which we take a deep dive into the history of the song "Dude Looks Like a Lady" (seriously though, these lyrics) before Bridget and Ginny reveal their top two Robin Williams movies! We talk through Mr. Williams' impressive filmography, and Ginny's reaction to a title from the sisters' childhood gives Bridget quite the surprise. Ginny then brings us everything we ever wanted to know about the current whereabouts of the three actors who played the children in the film, and we bring you a special double-quiz! Be on the listen-out for a thirsty detour down a Google image search for Pierce Brosnan, and stay tuned for our upcoming episode on Annihilation, out in April! Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations. You can find many other amazing women-hosted podcasts via the hashtag #LadyPodSquad.

It's a run-by fruiting! After an extended unintentional break due to what we deem as the curse of Mrs. Doubtfire, Radaptations is BACK with an episode you're sure to enjoy! We read the 1987 book Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine and watched its classic 1993 adaptation starring Robin Williams and Sally Field. In this episode, we talk all about the charm of Robin Williams and how this is actually a film about a man trying to murder Pierce Brosnan with cayenne pepper while his complicit brother watches idly from afar. So grab your tea (one lump or two, dear?), and enjoy! Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @radaptations, and discover other amazing women-hosted shows using the tag #LadyPodSquad!

Happy New Year from the ladies of Radaptations! In this very special episode, we bid adieu to 2017 and look back on all of the titles we took on over the past year. You'll be treated to some very special book and movie recommendations (we can all agree that The Fate of the Furious was the best film of 2017, right?), and not one but TWO quizzes before we dive into the 2nd annual Raddy Awards! We've added some categories this year (rest assured Best Schlock Moment has us revisiting Interview with the Vampire), and we also dub our first ever Frenemy of the Show. Who could it be? Hint: it's definitely NOT John Cho, who is most certainly a certified Friend of the Show. Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We lose many a wig in today's not-so-minisode in which we continue our conversation about Total Recall with the 2012 reboot starring Our Lord of Eyebrows Colin Farrell. In true minisode fashion, we begin with a quiz about other Radaptations titles and their connections to authors who use initials in their monikers. But then, we're on to a total love fest for all of the gorgeous people in Total Recall including, but not limited to, Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, Bokeem Woodbine, JOHN CHO, and an unconventional beauty, Bill Nighy (we like his lips—sue us). Stay tuned at the end of this episode for our announcement of what the first title of 2018 will be for the Radaptations sisters! Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com. And check out the other great podcasts that are part of the #LadyPodSquad.

You're in for a real treat as Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his Radaptations debut amidst our Philip K. Dick run. That's right, folks—we read the 1966 short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" and watched the 1990 adaptation Total Recall! So much beef. So many one liners. So many ladies of the night. And... Kuato. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations. And check out the other great women-hosted podcasts in the #LadyPodSquad network!

In today's minisode, we continue our conversation about Minority Report by discussing some of the other adaptations of Philip K. Dick's work in which we reacquaint ourselves with a whole host of Radaptations alums including but not limited to Rufus Sewell, Keanu Reeves, and Matt Damon. Then, in honor of Tom Cruise's third appearance on the show, we award him some mini-Raddies based on his characters in Interview with the Vampire, War of the Worlds, and Minority Report. Finally, Ginny gives us a quiz about 2 male 1 female trios paying homage to our Minority Report precogs. Prepare yourself: this episode also marks the third appearance of Bridget's remarkable Paul Giamatti impression. Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com, and be sure to check out all of the amazing shows in the #LadyPodSquad.

In celebration of the Blade Runner sequel being released last month, we take on science-fiction luminary Philip K. Dick with his 1956 short story The Minority Report and its 2002 adaptation starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg, marking this duo's second appearance on Radaptations following War of the Worlds! We bring you all the hot takes on Tom Cruise's not-so beef bod, Colin Farrell's drop-crotch pants, and Max von Sydow's optical illusion pumpkin-sized head. While we love this Cruise/Spielberg collabo, we also have a message for Mr. Spielberg in true Radaptations fashion: just trim it a little. Stay tuned for the end of the episode where we reveal what our December title is. You're gonna love it... Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

We're continuing our conversation about Bram Stoker's Dracula in today's minisode, starting with a ranking of the performances from Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film. We also treat you to some recasting options, many of which drive us to our respective bunks. And just when you thought we hadn't talked enough about last year's Halloween title Interview with the Vampire... think again :) This minisode also marks the debut of Bridget's Alan Rickman impression as well as the return of her Paul Giamatti impression. In what context? Tune in to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We're kicking off our annual Halloween month off right in our usual fashion of singing :) We read the 1967 novel Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin and watched the 1968 adaptation directed by Roman Polanski starring Mia Farrow! We loved both for their unconventional takes on the horror genre, but we especially take a moment to bow down to Ruth Gordon's portrayal of Minnie Castevet. What did Ginny, who had no prior knowledge whatsoever about this film, think of that shocking ending?! Tune in to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com. And be sure to check out all of the podcasts in the #LadyPodSquad by following the tag on Twitter!

Radaptations is BACK, baby! After an extended hiatus, we're excited to talk about The Handmaid's Tale-- both the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood and the 2017 Hulu original show (which we cover in its entirety). Get ready to hear all about the differences between the book and the show as well as how The Handmaid's Tale isn't far off from reality. Plus, you'll hear Ginny' real-time reaction to seeing that infamous picture of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson, the progression of which mirrors the stages of grief. Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We read the H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds (1898) and its 2005 adaptation starring the one, the only: Tom Cruise, making his return to Radaptations after that EXTRA performance we saw in Interview with the Vampire. The ladies talk through Wells' vision and influence on the sci-fi genre before focusing on some very specific things from the film, namely: bad-dad Tom Cruise's falsetto cry-singing, crazy-eyes Tim Robbins, and stepdad Tim's turtleneck sweater. And in true Radaptations fashion, we veer off track to talk salad dressings. Keep in touch @radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com

Good news! For your amusement: we continue our tradition of singing in this minisode about Beauty and the Beast (1991 & 2017)! Segments include a discussion of 90s Disney movies (in which you'll hear the tragic and strange tale of Bridget's rubber rat), favorite Disney villains (in which we present a strong defense of Ursula), and a dead parents quiz (which Ginny rocks)! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com

We're back with part 2 of our series on Beauty and the Beast! Today, we talk about the 2017 remake, which is essentially an adaptation of the 1991 classic. But before we get there, the ladies discuss their favorite Disney film (the results may surprise you!), and Bridget brings you the hot takes from co-worker Denise (made famous on the Fifty Shades of Grey episode). We discuss the differences between the 1991 film and 2017 film, some of which are good chances and some... not so much. Eventually the conversation devolves into a full-on Stanley Tucci love-fest, so prepare yourself. Do Ginny and Bridget agree about this remake? Listen to find out! Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

Follow the yellow brick road to the magical land of Radaptations, where your hosts discuss The Wizard of Oz-- the famous 1900 book written by L. Frank Baum and the 1939 classic directed by Victor Fleming! You'll hear how the book (which is kind of sketchy and at times, murderous) differs from the film in the surprising ways, particularly the ending. The sisters discuss, among many things, reading a moral onto the story, sympathizing with the witch, and Dorothy's irresponsible pet ownership practices. Stay tuned next week for part 2 in our Wizard of Oz series in which we discuss the BONKERS 1985 follow-up, Return to Oz. Keep in touch @radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

Today, we continue our conversation of The Prestige in a number of ways. First, Bridget treats us to the story of the time she got to ride in a Tesla (RIP David Bowie) before the ladies walk listeners through the Rotten Tomatoes ranking of Christopher Nolan films (to which they vehemently disagree). We also reveal who in the hell was nominated/won at the Oscars over The Prestige, and Ginny SMOKES the quiz "Christian vs. Hugh, " where we pit our magical beef men against one another in an epic showdown fitting for the likes of our minisodes. Let us know what you think about the show! Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations. Help keep the show alive by leaving us a positive review on iTunes!

Prepare yourselves for the episode that contains Bridget's all-time favorite pairing Radaptations has yet to do: The Prestige, written by Christopher Priest (1995) and directed by Christopher Nolan (2006). One of our longest episodes to date, you'll hear the sisters fawn over the magic and mystery that is the World Fantasy Award winning novel and the stylish film starring warring beef boys Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale (if you heard our Fifty Shades of Grey episode, you'll know just how exciting this is for Ginny). We talk all things Prestige ranging anywhere from Bowie to bustles, and best believe it's the return of our famed Criss Angel story (revisit episode 14 on The Illusionist for his first appearance). Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

Oh goodness. Our adventure continues as we treat you to not one but TWO quizzes on today's minisode. First, Bridget surprises Ginny with a quiz about full-frontal male nudity in film inspired by the lack of peen in Fifty Shades of Grey. Then, Ginny treats us to the quiz, "Dakota Johnson Movie or BDSM Equipment," the answers to which may surprise you. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations. If you like what you hear, tell a friend!

Today, we continue our conversation about Steven Millhauser's Eisenheim the Illusionist and the 2007 adaptation The Illusionist. We give you a history lesson with the story of the Mayerling incident, a real event that served as some inspiration for the movie, before discussing a few of Millhauser's other stories. Then, Bridget serves Ginny a quiz that asks the question who said it: Eisenheim, Tyler Durden, or Jesse Eisenberg in Now You See Me? Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations

We read Steven Millhauser's short story Eisenheim the Illusionist (don't skip this one, folks) and watched its 2006 adaptation The Illusionist directed by Neil Burger starring Edward Norton and a very awe-induced Paul Giamatti. Join us as we revel in the mastery that is Steven Millhauser before extensive talk about sad warlock Edward Norton and his turn of the century facial hair. You'll also hear Bridget's spot-on Paul Giamatti impression before we tell the tale of how our resident skeptic Ginny was won over by real life illusionist Criss Angel. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

And you thought we could not talk anymore about Casino Royale. Well, you were wrong. Today, we continue the conversation with some trivia about who was considered to play Bond before beefboy Daniel Craig assumed the role and the Radaptations ladies weigh in with their casting ideas(admittedly, some better than others). We also reveal the Radaptations approved ranking of the D-Craig Bond films! And finally, this episode contains quite possibly the most off-the-wall quiz ever as Ginny's twisted mind comes up with anagrams of Casino Royale actors' names that *might* pass for Bond Girl names. Apologies to Mr. Giancarlo Giannini. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

Today, we continue our conversation about Ten Chiang's Story of Your Life (1998) and Arrival (2016) with a discussion of Denis Villeneuve's filmography. Bridget recommends Prisoners and Ginny reminisces about the time Bridget made her watch his super freaky movie Enemy. We also chat first contact stories (be on the lookout for the return of Ms. Schicker!), and Ginny nails a quiz on scientific names of fictional alien races! Stay tuned for the end of the show where we announce our upcoming title, which the Radaptations ladies are VERY excited about... Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com

We read Ted Chiang's novella Story of You Life (1998) and its 2016 Oscar winning adaptation Arrival directed by Denis Villeneuve. Today, Bridget struggles through the most challenging plot synopsis she's ever had to write for the show, and later, Ginny chides her for talking too much about Jeremy Renner. Speaking of, in the grand tradition of science beefboys on Radaptations (remember BEEFBOY BOTANIST Mark Watney?!), we puzzle out whether or not Arrival convinced us that Jeremy Renner is a physicist. Are you putting off reading this novella because you have knowledge that you will eventually in the future? Exercise your free will and read it NOW. Grab on to your linear timelines, folks! We get a little nutty today. Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We read the delightful and surprising novel Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick (2008) and watched its 2012 adaptation directed by David O. Russell starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence! Apart from our general delight in the character of Pat Peoples, we marvel at the fact that we actually enjoyed a book that's largely about football! Our discussion of the film is basically a 20 minute giggle fest as we recount the funniest moment and Ginny discovers her ultimate beefboy moment as Bradley Cooper tap dances his way into her heart. Do the sisters deem it a radaptation given how much they enjoyed the book and how different it is from the film? Listen to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

In today's minisode, the Radaptations sisters take you through some of their recommendations for vampire literature that, quite frankly, you may enjoy more than Interview with the Vampire if you're into vamps. Then, Ginny crushes a quiz, Fictional Vampire or Tom Cruise Character? We also tease a pick for next year's Halloween episode-- which beef-boy ridden supernatural thriller will we take on in 8 months time? Listen to find out!

Hooboy, there is no shortage of beefboys in today's title... we read Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice (1976) and watched its 1995 adaptation directed by Neil Jordan starring a plethora of 90s men and their hair. You'll hear Ginny delight in the pleasures of Tom Cruise's fun and fancy-free approach to the iconic character of Lestat while Bridget has none of it. Further, as a unit, the Radaptation sisters are tormented by the kiss that DOESN'T happen between Brad and Antonio, and in case you've seen the film and are wondering: yes, we do discuss that helicopter. Keep in touch at radaptationspod@gmail.com and @Radaptations.

Today's episode is PART 2 of episode 6 on A Monster Calls in which we discuss the recently released movie (2016) directed by J. A. Bayona based on the book by Patrick Ness (2011). For the discussion of the book, scroll through the Radaptations archive and (re)visit episode 6 part 1, released WAY back in November. Did the sisters' predictions for the film ring true? And what does Ginny think about Liam Neeson's tree butt? Listen to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com

In today's episode, we continue our conversation about Girl, Interrupted (1993, 1999) and celebrate the awesomeness that is Vanessa Redgrave (in a role very reminiscent of Our Lady Dame Dench in Pride and Prejudice). We also discuss other titles that take place in mental hospitals as well as quintessential Winona Ryder movies, and Ginny gives us a quiz, Who Said It: Susanna Kaysen or Lydia Deetz? Of course, it wouldn't be Radaptations if we didn't mention a beef boy or two. Who could it be? Sexy Hypnosis Dracula Gary Oldman? Hunky newsie Christian Bale? Both?! Listen to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.

We read Susanna Kaysen's AMAZING 1993 memoir Girl, Interrupted and watched the (disappointing) 1999 film adaptation starring Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, and a whole host of other rad 90's ladies. Listen as we lament that the screenwriters threw most of the amazing source material out the window and decided to go with a general vibe of 'the 60s was a confusing decade for white women.' Come for our dunks on Jared Leto's beard and stay for our celebration of Whoopi Goldberg, a true professional and bright spot in an otherwise boring film. Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

Happy New Year from the ladies of Radaptations! In this very special episode, we bid good riddance to 2016 and look back on the inaugural year for Radaptations! In addition to reflecting on the titles we've taken on in 2016, we treat you to the first annual Raddy Awards! Will Bridget finally convince Ginny that The Thing is an amazing movie? Has Frankenstein improved with age? Tune in to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

In today's minisode, the ladies surprise and delight with their casting choices for Scrooge. Ginny proclaims "I quite like Dickens" before recommending Hard Times, and another piece of the puzzle that is our high school AP English teacher, Mr. Healy, is revealed. Today's quiz is Bill Murray role or Charles Dickens character? and during the listener mail segment, Ginny treats us to her best midwestern accent. We'll be on break for the holidays but will return on January 2nd with a special New Year's retrospective! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

Today we take on the holiday classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and in doing so, wet our appetites for a variety of seasonal British foods! Listen as we describe the delights of the tale and later realize its 1988 meta-adaptation Scrooged may not hold up as well as we had hoped. Bill Murray is obviously a favorite of the sisters', yet Bridget feels oddly compelled to defend one of the antagonists of the movie, L.A. slime-ball Bryce and his California health plate. What does Scrooged have to do with Socrates? Listen to find out! Keep in touch @Radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

It's a special Halloween episode of Radaptations where the ladies take on the iconic Frankenstein (1818) and the horrible injustice that is its adaptation, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)! Perpetually shirtless Kenneth Branagh does NOT phone it in, while an ugly Robert DeNiro limps his way into our hearts and minds. Tune in to find out what we mean by "the slip and slide scene." Relatedly... shame to all who were involved in the making of this movie. Keep in touch @radaptations and radaptationspod@gmail.com.

In today's minisode, the ladies talk about the 2011 prequel to The Thing and Ginny serves up a quiz about the various professions of Kurt Russell and our Lord of Oatmeal Wilford Brimley. Later, listeners are in for a real treat when Bridget's husband Sean stops by the studio to a pick a few bones about his representation on the show.

In our continuation of The Manchurian Candidate, we talk about the 1962 version starring Frank Sinatra! Ginny has lots to say about Murder She Wrote, karate, and her high school A.P. English class. Later, Bridget quizzes Ginny: Denzel character or real life politician? Send us your questions/fanmail to radaptationspod@gmail.com or @Radaptations, and check us out at Bitter Empire: bitterempire.com/critic.

In today's minisode, Ginny and Bridget discuss everyone's beloved BBC miniseries (omg WET DARCY), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and notable dad Donald Sutherland. Plus, Ginny quizzes Bridget on Keira Knightley led period pieces (of which there are many)!
