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

A Return to the Black Hills - "The White Buffalo" (novel)

Part 2 of my series on "The White Buffalo." This one both takes an even deeper dive into the novel which, spoilers, is actually pretty good, and revisits the film adaptation with some enlightenment after having read the source. (I recant some of my theories from the previous episode on why the film is the way it is.) It makes me sad that this book is out of print. Again: it's pretty good.

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.
