What if the problem with adaptations isn't the source material—but the people adapting it? Why Adaptations Keep Failing digs into the long, messy history of books, games, and comics that got lost on their way to the screen. We break down the recurring mistakes: studios chasing trends instead of themes, writers who treat source material as a rough draft, and the impossible math of compressing hundreds of pages into two hours. Then we look at the adaptations that actually worked and ask what they understood that everyone else missed. Press play and join the debate. New episode every week—subscribe and leave your review. 🎧
