Hello and welcome to Does It Adapt?! This month, we are tackling more adaptions of the beloved horror author, Stephen King! On this episode, we will be swimming into a sea of suspense, surrealism and slumber with The Shining and Doctor Sleep! Cherished by many, Stanley Kubrick's take on the classical novel has been seen as a masterpiece by many a viewer. However, according to the the book's own author, Kubrick meddled with the overarching story too much and lead to Mr. King's disdain of the film. Enter Mike Flanagan, who directed and helped bring to life the sequel novel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. King has shown his admiration for entry and has praised its direction. We discuss our thoughts on both films, differences from the book to screen and address why we feel Mike Flanagan's approach to the sequel reinforced Kubrick's vision to make both films a force to be reckoned with. So will all work and no play make us a couple of dull boys or do we see a terrific and triumphant turn of two tumultuous titans come forth to make us scream in terror?

Hello !! Welcome to this month's episode of Does it Adapt?! This is our first ever collaboration with The Lab: A Minecraft podcast, with special guest host THE1TROJ ! In today's episode, we yearn for the mines as we discuss our thoughts of A Minecraft movie. We put on our elytra and fly over the ups and downs of this meme and cringe filled experience. Some things may stick the landing with a water bucket clutch, while others fall from a great height. So does the Minecraft movie make a magnificent move to making millions? Or like most mobs in the game, does it burst into flames?

Listen to The Lab's version!

This month on Does it Adapt, we revisit a blast from the past! Joining us again is Rusty and we are talking about the 3rd season of Reacher! How has this new season has stacked up, and will it continue to be a success? But thats not all! In this episode we explore why casting is so important to adaptions. The proper casting of actors and actresses can make or break any series or movie. Speaking of which, there is a newly announced Joe Ledger TV series from the mind of Jonathan Maberry. Will they make the best possible decisions in who they fill each role with? The true fans hope so. Will each show prove that casting is king, or do both falter and fail at following through with a fantastic experience?
