The guys discuss the adaptation of BULLET TRAIN (starring Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Shannon, Hiroyuki Sanada, Bad Bunny, Zazie Beetz, Logan Lerman, and Sandra Bullock) and how the film compares to the novel (originally titled “Maria Beetle”) from the author Kōtarō Isaka.

The conversation begins with the light-hearted, but ultimately exhausting and confusing narrative of the novel (11:52).

Then we breakdown the differences of the film adaptation and whether those differences diminish or enhance the story including the wacky tone, the diminishing role of The Prince, and the outrageously chaotic ending (35:08).

Other topics include the inevitable conversation around whitewashing, the emerging Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum-Brad Pitt trifecta, and whether or not the Hollywood CGI workers need a day off.

Our next adaptation is still being considered so let us know if you have an idea for an episode!
