Is the book always better than the movie? Did the movie ruin the book series for you? You're not alone. Cami and Liz are back to chat with Courtney about their favorite (and most disappointing) adaptations. We chat about the OGs and what we are looking forward (or *secretly* hope never happen): Harry Potter, Twilight, Divergent, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing, The Selection, The Uglies, The Idea of You, Red Queen, and more.
What is your favorite book-to-screen adaptation?

Courtney and friends, Cami and Liz, dive back into a conversation for Part 2 of BookTok, intellectual property (IP), and the state of the entertainment industry. On this episode, we dive deep into the upcoming and recent films/TV series based on best selling books and how they are shaping the content pipeline.
The Idea of You (starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine)
From Blood and Ash (based on the books written by Jennifer L. Armentrout)
The "Gentle Minions" phenomenon
DUNE: Part Two box office, budget, and breakeven compared to Marvel's Avengers: End Game
Marvel TV series on Disney+ writer's room restructuring
Margot Robbie's Monopoly and SIMS features
What role will Margot Robbie have in SJM's ACOTAR??
We also discuss the impact of the SAG-AFTRA and WAG strikes, and the ongoing negotiations for IASTE on the content pipeline and state of the entertainment industry.
This is Part 2 of a 3-Part series.

If you've been thinking that "Is everything based on a 'bestselling book' these days?" - you're not wrong. Courtney is joined by fellow entertainment friends Cami and Liz to discuss BookTok, stories based on intellectual property (IP), and the state of the entertainment industry. We dive deep into the Grishaverse (Shadow and Bone), the Sarah J Maas-verse (ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, Crescent City), Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us, and more! This is Part 1 of a 3-Part series.
