Description

In this episode of 'Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast,' Nate and Chris discuss 'A Clockwork Orange,' originally written by Anthony Burgess, before being adapted for the screen by the one and only Stanley Kubrick, the legendary filmmaker behind 'The Shining,' '2001: A Space Odyssey' and many more.

They discuss how Burgess created his own vernacular for the characters of his fictitious world, what the title actually means and the biggest difference between the movie and its source material.

UP NEXT: 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' by Manuel Puig, with film adaptations directed by Hector Babenco and Bill Condon.
