#22: Books into Movies
October 19th, 2009 — deareditorDear Editor: I loved “The Battle of the Star Fish” so much, I think it could totally make an awesome movie. The epic battle scene at the end would be SO EPIC.
Topic: Today we discuss books that have been made into movies, both the good and the bad. Of course, we only cover movies that we’ve actually seen.
Content Warning: Dude, we cursed! Also used the phrase “black people.” Heh heh heh
Baby Warning: You can totally hear cute baby noises in this episode. :O
Content:
- Changing stories to fit movies
