Screen Time: Brave New World

When you’re talking about books being adapted into movies and TV, the cliché that comes to mind is “the book was better.” But if you’ve listened to our last couple of episodes about Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (hint hint… you should go do that if you haven’t), you’ve heard our myriad issues with it. Well this week, we’re getting into the adaptation for NBC’s Peacock and now you’ll get to hear our numerous issues with that as well!Follow us on Twitter!<a href="https://twitter.com/DanaSchwartzzz">@DanaSchwartzzz</a><a href="https://twitter.com/JenAshleyWright">@JenAshleyWright</a><a href="https://twitter.com/koramadrama">@koramadrama</a><a href="https://twitter.com/melissaFTW">@MelissaFTW</a>and Tien has wisely gotten off Twitter but is on Insta <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hanktina/">@hanktina</a>Next week we are going goth in time for Halloween. Not like dressing-in-black, listening-to-The-Cure goth… we’re discussing the Gothic novel “Rebecca” by Daphne du Maurier, soon to be a film on Netflix.

A group of smart, funny friends meet together every week to talk about the book they’re reading—a book that just so happens to be incredibly buzzy and in the zeitgeist because it has an adaptation coming up on the big screen or via streaming. Because when everyone at work is talking about it, we want to be the smug ones who can say we actually read the book first. Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Jennifer Wright, Korama Danquah, Melissa Hunter, and Tien Tran. New episodes every Monday!
