Survival, Faith, and Xenomorphs - "Dead Orbit" and "Sacrifice"

Impaled on a Sharpened Stake - "The White Buffalo" (1977)

A deep dive into the 1974 Western "The White Buffalo," a film adaptation of Richard Sale's 1975 pulp novel of the same name starring Charles Bronson. This film is kind of a train wreck, but a really interesting one to do an autopsy on. This ended up being the first entry in a two part series about "The White Buffalo". I was so fascinated by this film that my friend James bought me a copy of the out of print novel as a joke. It's *way* better than the film, as in "actually pretty good" and it inspired me to write part 2. (See the next episode) .

Moby Dick: Tokyo Drift - The 2017 Graphic Novel

The last in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode talks about Christophe Chaboute's 2017 black and white graphic novel. Spoiler: It's a really good read and is a good adaptation..

2 Moby 2 Dick - "Moby Dick (1956)"

The second in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode looks at the surprisingly great 1956 film starring Gregory Peck.

Pelagic Horror and Nihilism - "Moby Dick"

The first in a three part series about Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick" and its adaptations. This episode is a deep dive into the novel itself, looking at its structure, its writing, and its themes. I *really* like this book.

Old Sports and Green Lights - Orlando Ballet's "The Great Gatsby"

A deep dive into Orlando Ballet's May 2026 production of "The Great Gatsby" where I talk about the performance and the ballet as an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald classic novel. Spoiler: Ballet is quite good.
