After a hell of a first season, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" proves that what made Game of Thrones great was never the dragons.

Ride with us? We're comparing book to show!

Released at the height of GRRM's powers "The Hedge Knight" is the basis for the hit HBO show #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms

In our return to Westeros we talk GoT as a franchise, the odd expectation around other writers taking over, & the Winds-of-Winter-delay fan hateโคต๏ธ

Wuthering Heights may be the only adaptation in recent memory that outdoes Del Toroโ€™s Frankenstein when it comes to WILDLY different reactions & reviews on my timeline.

Iโ€™ll hold my thoughts until we can get to it on @inktofilm.bsky.social

Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Frankenstein has sharply divided fans of Mary Shelley's classic, but does it divide this podcast? Author @rachaelkjones.bsky.social joins the show again to help us discuss a reanimated classic!

Fun question! I have a few that stand out because they were some of my favorite/most memorable theater-going experiences.

The Matrix (1999)
The Fellowship of the Ring (2003)
Jurassic Park (1993)
Gladiator (2002)

Is Hamnet (2025) *too* sad? Is it โ€œgrief p*rn?โ€ Hereโ€™s why we donโ€™t think so, and why the movie earns the emotions it brings out in the audience. This clip is from our full episode on the movie available now wherever you listen to podcasts and on YouTube. #hamnet #jessiebuckley #chloezhao #inktofilm

Sometimes a profound catharsis can found through art, shared grief, and loving adaptation. Here's why even more people need to be talking about Chloรฉ Zhaoโ€™s "Hamnet" (2025) โคต๏ธ

Iโ€™m just saying that maybe โ€œthe death of the authorโ€ limits our understanding of the human element whose value is becoming even more clarified in the modern age of AI slop. #hamnet

Grab your character sheet and get over hereโ€”weโ€™ve got 2-liters, chips, and mom says the basement is all ours for the night!

Roll initiative with us, Colton, & Andrew as we talk Stranger Things 5, try to explain Conformity Gate, and reflect on the showโ€™s legacy now that itโ€™s all over.

I have noticed a lot of my followers here are also big movie buffs and avid readers. THIS is the podcast for you. Luke & James are a writer and a filmmaker and review books and their adaptations in a very entertaining and educational way. Highest recommendation for lovers of books & movies.

It's time to wrap season 9 by taking a final look at the best/worst adaptations we covered this year!

Even if you've never listened before, this episode is a good way to get an overview of what Ink to Film is all about.

Martha Wells Reflects on โ€œMurderbotโ€ S:01 | Creative Conversations (WORLDCON 2025 LIVE) Author Martha Wells joins LIVE at Seattle Worldcon 2025 to discuss โ€œMurderbotโ€ season 1, adapted by Paul and Chris Weitz for Apple TV+. In episode 356, Luke Elliott & James Bailey host their first live-recording in front of a packed room of Martha Wells fans, adding to their โ€œCreative Conversationsโ€ series. They kick things off with a special video message from the show's cast for Martha Wells: Noma Dumezweni, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tamara Podemski, Tattiawna Jones, David Dastmalchian, and Alexander Skarsgรฅrd! Topics include: the original idea that led to Murderbotโ€™s creation, surprise insights into herself after reader reactions, her input and thoughts on the casting of the seriesโ€™ biggest role, her visit to the set (and what she got to take home), and why she pushes back at fans surprised by the showโ€™s more comedic tone.

Before A24, David Lowry, and Dev Patel's "Green Knight," Stephen Weeks made "Gawain and the Green Knight," a movie which I'm willing to BET directly influenced "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." They've never confirmed it, but I think it's undeniable!

We recently released our 365th episode, which means could now listen to a different ep of Ink to Film every day for a year ๐Ÿคฏ

I don't recommend it, since you'd almost certainly be driven mad, but it's now technically possible!

In the age of AI slop, how about we celebrate a film that reminds us of the awesome power of handcrafted art?

Come geek out with us about #Akira!

When AKIRA came out it blew open the door to the English-speaking market and changed manga & anime forever.

This time let's discuss volumes 2 & 3 of the manga series by #KatsuhiroOtomo and explore its legendary legacy.

I didn't expect to say this, but could the problem with Edgar Wright's adaptation of THE RUNNING MAN be that it was *too faithful* to the book? Let's discuss โคต๏ธ
