The classic Pages and Popcorn Book vs. Film discussion is back in this very special episode as Kaylia, Leah, and Kat discuss Nightbitch… a novel by Rachel Yoder that became the film starring Amy Adams. We talked about what worked in the book, what worked in the film, and how we would have “fixed” a few of the issues in both. Plus, some Star Trek trivia and a Buffy shout-out! Enjoy!

67. Nomadland
Chris and Kaylia talk about this amazing and important nonfiction book that was adapted into a heartbreaking well-made movie that has the same name but tells a very different story. Happy Thanksgiving!
63. Story of Your Life / Arrival
Chris and Kaylia talk about thinking about time travel, the limitations of language, just how many diagrams are too many for a short story, and what makes this movie adaptation just so freakin’ awesome.
54. The Woman In The Window
Join Jennifer and Kaylia as we discuss this 2018 version of “Female Protagonist In Some Sort Of Container” We revisit some of Kaylia’s childhood traumas and present-day adult fears (but in a fun way), discuss the importance of tone and committing to a style, and try to figure out if the book was a well-done thriller or a schlocky “copycat”? Also, can a stellar cast and interesting story make a good movie when there is just SO MUCH behind-the-scenes drama? (The answer is… not really)
