0:00.0 | This is the bookwrap podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neill. And I'm Rebecca Schinsky. And today we're taking a look back at the adaptations of 2024 books that got turned into film or TV, various kinds, both in the meta sense, like what mattered. We might take a look at the, maybe we'll talk for a minute about the kind of state |
0:21.0 | of adaptations. I think it's fair to say that I finally called peak adaptation. I got it right. |
0:27.3 | It took me six years, but we finally hit it. But there's a lot out there, Rebecca, don't you think? |
0:31.5 | I do think so. Like, this was an interesting year. And as we get into our favorites and the highlights |
