Do you love books? Do you love movies? Do you love to celebrate and/or complain about book-to-movie adaptations? This is the episode for you!

In anticipation of the 96th Academy Awards, Sally watched all of the nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay… and then read all the books they were adapted from. She’ll never get those 60+ hours of her life back, but she’s here to share the books worth reading, the movies worth watching, and her pick for who should win Best Adapted Screenplay.

Books Mentioned:

American Prometheus by Kai Bird & Martin J. Sherwin

Erasure by Percival Everett

Poor Things by Alasdair Gray

The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis

The Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan
