  • Does Anime Adapt?
    Aug 29 2025

    Hello and welcome to this month's Does It Adapt! This time, we are exploring a world of animated arcs and absolutely amazing action with anime! Shows like One Piece and Yu Yu Hakasho have came into then limelight. Many different animes have been adapted to the silver screen but not all have been as successful as their 2D counterparts. Considering these shows are based of the illustrated medium of Manga, one would hope that these stories would be given the best treatment once made into real life. However, that's not always the case. So will these live action versions of these cartoonish, crafted creations become credible? Or will these shows have their names written in the Death Note?

    Jul 26 2025

    Hello and welcome to this month's Does it Adapt!! This time, we will be discussing something that is near and dear to every kids heart. Disney! However, we are going to be going over the ups and downs of the attempts at live action remakes. Some have hit the spot and some have just completely missed the mark. Some haven't even been made yet but fans are clamoring for them to be released. So will Disney definitely deliver on the dramatic and delectable retelling of its stories or will they delve into despair and darkness desperately trying to drain our wallets?

  • The Shining / Dr. Sleep
    May 23 2025

    Hello and welcome to Does It Adapt?! This month, we are tackling more adaptions of the beloved horror author, Stephen King! On this episode, we will be swimming into a sea of suspense, surrealism and slumber with The Shining and Doctor Sleep! Cherished by many, Stanley Kubrick's take on the classical novel has been seen as a masterpiece by many a viewer. However, according to the the book's own author, Kubrick meddled with the overarching story too much and lead to Mr. King's disdain of the film. Enter Mike Flanagan, who directed and helped bring to life the sequel novel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. King has shown his admiration for entry and has praised its direction. We discuss our thoughts on both films, differences from the book to screen and address why we feel Mike Flanagan's approach to the sequel reinforced Kubrick's vision to make both films a force to be reckoned with. So will all work and no play make us a couple of dull boys or do we see a terrific and triumphant turn of two tumultuous titans come forth to make us scream in terror?
