S1E21 - What Makes a True Adaptation?

This week, Larissa and LJ finally talk about adaptations. We've all watched a book be turned into a terrible movie, cringing as our favorite story is ruined. So what matters when a story shifts mediums? Keeping every character and their role intact, or shifting the pacing and timing of events? With a story as old as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, an Arthurian tale about honesty and bravery, making the audience aware of its historical context becomes even trickier on the screen. Listen to find out our opinions and research into the question of what makes a true adaptation.
