The guys discuss the film adaptation, SING SING, based on an article published in October 2005 by John H. Richardson.
… 

The Sing Sing Follies (A maximum security comedy) is a magazine piece that tells the story of a group of inmates in Sing Sing prison who, through the Rehabilitation Through the Arts program, are working to put on a play, called Breakin’ the Mummy’s Code. The play is about six convicts who each write separate plays and then splice them together and includes pirates, gladiators, cowboys, a spy in a tuxedo and even Prince Hamlet of Denmark. Within the article, we get to know a little bit about a number of inmates, the RTA program and the creative process.
… 

The film adaptation was directed by Greg Kwedar, written by Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar, and stars Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Sean San José and Paul Raci.
… 

Topics of discussion include the differences in adapting an 8-page magazine article from a novel, the creation of new characters, Divine Eye’s backstory, where the term “up the river” comes from, some historical background about the Sing Sing correctional facility, and whether or not Will would live in a prison refurbished into apartments.

Big River

Erik and Will discuss the film ‘It' and its eponymous source material by Stephen King. Erik embarrassingly stumps Will in this week's quiz question. Will gets something off his chest, and Erik delves deep into the crazy world of Stephen King's novel and compares it against the relatively well-received film adaptation. Listen and enjoy.
