About the Show
Hosts
Have you ever found youself insisting "the book was better"? We're here to tell you why you're right... or wrong.
Join us, Pippa Russell and KJ Minzner, as we give our hot takes on the best and worst of media adaptations. From Shakespeare to Elle Woods, we try our best to answer one question: Did it Adapt, or did it Die?
KJ MINZNER
​
KJ works in VO production and writes silly things on the internet for money sometimes. They used to write for ScreenRant, MXDWN, and the International Study Abroad organization. They're short, fun, and they WILL eat all your Cheez-Its at the first given opportunity.
