Description

It started with The Thursday Murder Club hitting Netflix last week and turned into a full-blown debate: what are the BEST book-to-screen adaptations of all time? So today we’re breaking down the movies and TV shows that actually did their source material justice.

Plus, we share the ones we’re desperate to see adapted next (Eleanor Oliphant, we’re looking at you)! It’s nostalgic, it’s passionate, and yes—we have some controversial opinions.

WHAT TO LISTEN TO NEXT

Listen to us deep dive into The Thursday Murder Club movie, in our new podcast Watch Party out now on Apple or Spotify.

Plus, check out these episodes of The Spill:
