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!

We get into the idea that once released into the world the creator no longer controls their creation. This comes from our discussion of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in our recent ep about the novella, out now wherever you find podcasts & on YouTube!

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 hate‡️

Just one of four FMK games @rachaelkjones.bsky.social brought to our Frankenstein episode πŸ˜…

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

I’ll hold my thoughts until we can get to it on @inktofilm.bsky.social

HEY come hear us debate the merits of Del Toro's Frankenstein! Had such a great time hanging out with the thoughtful and hilarious ITF crew for this one

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!

Book 6: β€œHorror Movie” - @paultremblay.bsky.social

5/5

Heard about this from Paul’s appearance on @inktofilm.bsky.social and went with audiobook to match format this is set in.

Disturbing, nauseating at times. Did I love it? Did I hate it? One thing is certain, I won’t forget it.

Is Hamnet (2025) *too* sad? Is it β€œgrief p*rn?” Here’s why we don’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 ChloΓ© Zhao’s "Hamnet" (2025) ‡️

Book 5: β€œA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” - George R.R.Martin

4.5/5

A collection of three novellas. Dunk is a rare admirable hero in Martin’s world. Worthy of truly rooting for. I look forward to the adaptation which I haven’t yet started and @inktofilm.bsky.social coverage.

I’m just saying that maybe β€œthe death of the author” limits our understanding of the human element whose value is becoming even more clarified in the modern age of AI slop. #hamnet

In Maggie O'Farrell's #HAMNET, instead of discarding authorial intention and personal history she explores the connection between art & artist, all while elevating the stories of characters often reduced to footnotes of history. It's time for our season premiere!

Grab your character sheet and get over hereβ€”we’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 show’s legacy now that it’s all over.

Project Hail Mary was already on my list. Adding Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Will move them up the queue. Probably read both right after I read Jade Legacy.

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.
