FAILURE TO ADAPT LAUNCH DAY!!!

Failure to Adapt's first episode would not be what it is without all of the Bannermen's feedback!!! Thank you so much, Maggie & I are forever grateful.

And the first episode is one that was not a preview release on Patreon, so there's an incredible new episode out for you to consume today!! It features Hugo award winning (and hilarious!) author Sarah Gailey and we're discussing the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight into the Catherine Hardwicke film.

Bonus Ep: A Way Out

Upon Red's return to NYC, the lads got together and played all the way through the Co-Op only Josef Fares Opus: A Way Out, then made this ep just for the Bannermen to talk through the way Ivan got absolutely crushed in Connect Four. Also a bit of Q&A and some catch up on what's been going on the past month!

The Long Night 4K + Q&A

The lads recording in the same physical location for the first time since 2019 required something absolutely momentous, and so they ate pastrami filled scallion pancakes, saw Season 8 Episode 3 of Game of Thrones (The Long Night) for the first time, and then answered your questions!

We didn't get to all of the questions posted on patreon, but trust we'll get to all patreon questions eventually!!!

PREVIEW Failure to Adapt: Stardust

Thank you everyone for your feedback on the Jurassic Park episode! We very much appreciate it and were encouraged by it! This test episode we're discussing a more niche adaptation that Maggie & Red fall on very different sides of: Neil Gaiman's book, Stardust, is formative for Maggie, while Matthew Vaughn's Stardust (2007) is one of Red's favorite movies.

Please let us know what you liked in this episode and what you'd like to hear more of, we're still very much developing the forma...

Guest Podcast Setup

Someone asked, so I thought I’d share the entirety of our very advanced podcast setup when we have a guest.

  • MacBook Pro
  • Reaper for recording/editing
  • Skype for bringing in Ivan
  • Loopback from Rogue Amoeba to create virtual audio devices for Skype (so Ivan can hear both guests) and Reaper (so I can record the Skype track directly in Reaper for syncing/backup purposes)
