Reel 62: Subversive Adaptations
Over the course of this show, Sean and I have covered all kinds of adaptations. Some were based on books, some on record albums, and some on Broadway Musicals (HA!

Reel 59: TANSTAAFL
For the record: Sean kinda hates this title, but there was nothing we workshopped that was any better, so.
