Next Best Adaptation - "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir Of A Family And Culture In Crisis" By J.D. Vance10/14/2020 
By Nicole Ackman
Next Best Adaptation is back where we review the source material of the year's potential Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar contenders. Last time we were here we looked at "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier and "Death On The Nile" by Agatha Christie. Now, we are looking at "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir Of A Family And Culture In Crisis" by J.D. Vance. We recorded this podcast over the summer but the trailer for the film adaptation by Ron Howard and starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close was unveiled by Netflix today and we figured now was the right time to release this podcast. Joining me for this podcast discussion into the themes, characters and more controversial political viewpoints of this memoir, I have Michael Schwartz & Cody Dericks. This is a preview of the podcast, the full version of which is only available to those who subscribe to us on Patreon. For the small price of $1 a month, you can receive this episode along with other exclusive podcast content, so be sure to subscribe here. Thank you so much for listening.

Next Best Adaptation is back where we review the source material of the year's potential Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar contenders. Last time, we looked at "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier and this time we are taking a look at Agatha Christie's mystery novel "Death On The Nile" which will be released on October 21st by Netflix. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh as the returning Hercule Poirot, it serves as a sequel to his 2017 film "Murder On The Orient Express." It will surely not only be compared to the source material but to the 1978 film of the same name. We mostly focus on the book here but also touch on the 1978 adaptation and what we hope for with Branagh's latest. Joining me for this podcast I have Will Mavity and Dan Bayer.

It's been two years but with renewed interest, we are finally bringing back Next Best Adaptation, where we review the source material of the year's potential Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar contenders. We hope that this podcast will be a good use of your time while we sit in quarantine with little to do. So join us, pick up a book, particularly "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier and join our virtual book club here on the podcast! We not only discuss the novel but also our thoughts on any previous adaptations and our expectations for the upcoming film adaptation later this year (hopefully). Joining me for this podcast I have Will Mavity and Dan Bayer. This is a preview of the podcast, the full version of which is only available to those who subscribe to us on Patreon.

Earlier this year, we put up a poll for you all to select sources of material that could be potential contenders for Best Adapted Screenplay this year. The top 3 choices were Boy Erased (previously reviewed here), Beautiful Boy (previously reviewed here) and now First Man by James R. Hansen. As with the previous episodes, we examine the source material which the feature length film is based on, going into an in-depth discussion into the work's themes, characters and our predictions as to how it will all translate to the screen. These podcast episodes are exclusive to our Patreon subscribers but we have included a preview of the latest episode after the jump. For the small price of $1 a month, you can get the full episode, so be sure to subscribe here. For the final episode of Next Best Adaptation myself & Kt Schaefer read James R. Henson's massive biography on Neil Armstrong titled "First Man: The Life Of Neil Armstrong." The adaptation is directed by Damien Chazelle, stars Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy and is currently playing in theaters. Thank you and please feel free to subscribe on either SoundCloud, Tunein, GooglePlay, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM, CastBox, Acast, or you can have a listen down below. Please take a moment if you like the show to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts here.
