Ep. 18: Foul Ball: 'Caught Stealing' Falls Short Despite Big Swings
Update: 2025-09-18
Description
In this episode of Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast, Nate and Chris discuss 'Caught Stealing,' written by Charlie Huston, with a film adaptation directed by Darren Aronofsky, starring Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Bad Bunny, Regina King and many more.
They also discuss the idea of the anti-hero -- someone you're asked to root for no matter how hard it gets -- and why it's so important for the lessons a character learns to be clear and present in the story.
UP NEXT: 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess with a film adaptation directed by Stanley Kubrick.
