Watch With Jen - S5: E17 - TV Adaptations with Katie Stebbins
Listen now
Description
It's a pleasure to welcome one of my longtime Twitter faves to the podcast. Katie Stebbins is a knowledgeable cinephile, academic librarian, & the author of truly creative film zines. For the uninitiated, that's "zines" as in magazines or literary journal-styled books filled with collages & writing on films within a given calendar year. Described as a personal, passionate, & unique way to engage with cinema & create a scrapbook that reflects the full experience of doing a deep dive into a year of film, these ingenious zines gave Katie a chance to explore not only her favorite movies but make new discoveries as well, which is so cool. In this breezy, spirited, nostalgia-fueled ode to the heyday of TV adaptations from the late '80s through the early aughts, we investigate the highs & lows of this new cinematic subgenre. Along the way, Katie & I take a closer look at THE ADDAMS FAMILY, THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, DUDLEY DO-RIGHT, & CHARLIE'S ANGELS.
