Cover to Credits

We enter spooky season with Stephen King's very first novel, Carrie, adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976. In the episode we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of King's debut novel, De Palma's stylish directing choices, and have an unnecessarily long discussion about pig blood.

After a long hiatus we're back with a new episode! Only the power of the classic novel Wuthering Heights, written by Emily Bronte, and the insane adaptation by Emerald Fennell could drive us to dig up our podcast from the grave! In this episode we examine the sprawling, intergenerational story from the novel and then ask ourselves, "But what if it was 50% shorter and 200% hornier?"

In our final, 200th episode, we look back at seven (going on eight) years of podcasting, reflecting on how Cover to Credits began, our process, reading listener emails and naming our top 10 memorable episodes. Goodbye for now, and thanks for listening!

For our last, regular episode, we're looking at a Stephen King classic and the highest rated movie on IMDB, The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont. We discuss the story's themes of hope and defying authority, as well as the movie's mastery of balancing tone and some of the shocking details from the book that the movie left out!

This episode we look at Ella Enchanted, directed by Tommy O'Haver in 2004 and based on the novel by Gail Carson Levine. We're gonna look at fairy tale politics, groan inducing humor, and a book twist that Ian was NOT expecting. Also, prepare for an unexpected amount of praise for the movie Shrek!
