Adaptation.

Robin’s been in a movie watching funk lately. So he’s turning to one that’s been on his watchlist for a while, Charlie Kaufman’s “Adapatation.”. With its meta elements and a protagonist going through his own funk, this just might be the movie to snap Robin out of it, as he and Sam discuss the journey Charlie goes on, what was really up with Donald Kaufman, and they both see a little of themselves in Charlie.    00:00:00 - Introduction & Chit-chat 00:17:07 - Movie Reveal 00:22:38 - Movie Discussion & Ratings
