"Netflix Made a Mistake" ITF Listen & Watch: Archive 81 (2016 podcast & 2022 TV series) part one Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

For the first time in Ink to Film history Luke & James tackle another podcast—an audio drama—and its impressive adaptation! In episode 223, they tackle the first half of season 1 of both show and pod. Luke rants about Netflix's strategic error and foolish cancellation of the show, and how they could have better set Archive 81 up for success. Plus, what made the audio drama take off, the story behind the creators Daniel Powell and Marc Sollinger, Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi's standout performances, and the power of letting the supernatural stay unexplained.

Podcast episodes covered: S1: eps 1-5. Show episodes covered: S1: eps 1-4

"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates is a rare short story that's more famous than its film adaptation.

Topics include hints of a supernatural explanation for Arnold Friend, Laura Dern's surprising revelation about the film that came years later, director Joyce Chopra's giving back, and the unique vulnerability of girls in our society.

"Break a Few Eggs" ITF Watch: Emma (2020 film) Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

Autumn de Wilde's adaptation of one of Jane Austen's timeless novels is a visual feast that isn't afraid to let things get loud in a way seldom seen in regency romance. In episode 220, Luke & James debate just how punk rock this movie is, dial in the color saturation, shred on the pianoforte, worry about Anya Taylor-Joy's nosebleeds, and find the source of that ghastly draft. They finish by voting on which was ultimately better: the book or the movie!

"An Unhappy Ending in Disguise" ITF Read: Emma (1816 novel) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

Jane Austen wrote Emma Woodhouse to be "a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like," but did that end up being the case? In episode 219, Luke & James return to the regency era with carriage rides, questions of sensibility, and misunderstandings galore. They end by asking the question: By novel's end, are things as happy as they might seem?

Join them next time when they discuss Autumn de Wilde's adaptation starring Anya Taylor-Joy and compare it to the novel!
