Is "The Taming of the Shrew" Shakespeare's worst play? I'm no expert, but it sure seems like a serious contender to me. Let's talk about it! P.S. Next week we'll be covering "10 Things I Hate About You" (which is a stealth Shrew adaptation) Audio bit.ly/3QrUqGf Video bit.ly/4behUIK

Come for the cute rodent in the thumbnail, stay for the nerdy-ass Shakespeare discussion 😅

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)

A question that had us losing it on our Bram Stoker’s Dracula episode. I would’ve included more of the scene but it would’ve definitley been taken down, but if anyone else remembers that Jonathan Harker & the Brides of Dracula scene… it does seem implied 😳 #bramstokersdracula #nosferatu

Weirdly perfect Valentine's content...

*Orlok voice* "Hap-py ValenTINES Day, to my obsession... your passion is BOUND to me."

So excited to share this book on poetry magic with the world. It's truly a story from my heart, and one I've been working very hard on! Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social for the feature!

Why are we attracted to death? Can someone truly invite Count Orlok's appetite? I think these questions are central to Robert Eggers's "Nosferatu" (2024) & link his adaptation all the way back to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Spoiler-free to start! It's all come to this⤵️ 📺 bit.ly/42UmpWs 🎙️ bit.ly/3EEnF6g

With Hugo Noms now open, I’d love to suggest the episode we did with Ted Chiang—and if you like it, consider nominating “Ink to Film” for the “Best Fancast” category? The reviews from listeners have been glowing & I’m truly so proud of how it turned out www.inktofilm.com/episodes/202... #hugoawards

Between this and our episode with @paultremblay.bsky.social our Creative Conversations series has been some of our BEST work, imho. Here’s our convo with Paul about “Knock at the Cabin”, also from 2024! www.inktofilm.com/episodes/202...

this is a fantastic episode!! such a great conversation! i was literally live-messaging Luke being like "THIS IS SO GOOD!!! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WHAT WAS IT LIKE???"

OOOOH!

New story day! “Echo Syndrome” is a piece of my soul, torn out and translated into words. I hope you enjoy it!

Coppola's Dracula wasn't just powerful, it was sexually-charged. The emphasis combines the subtext of the Stoker novel with the gothic romance plot of the film--but is it the best version of the story? Let's debate book vs movie! Video bit.ly/4hHtAp6 Audio bit.ly/3ElMCTF #Dracula #Nosferatu

We're kicking off our community-selected projects early this year! What would you like to hear next? (Votes must be cast on Patreon to count--poll active until Thursday 2/06/25 11:59PM PST) www.patreon.com/posts/first-...

We're are all my vampire fans at? Let's talk Dracula, Nosferatu, and all things VAMPY! ICYMI ⤵️ Video bit.ly/4heS09X Audio inktofilm.libsyn.com/itf-dracula-...

Even after all this time, when we look for deeper meaning in Bram Stoker's DRACULA it casts a paradoxical reflection back at us. Our societal hang-ups around sex, race, and gender seem undeniable, but was that its original message? Video bit.ly/4heS09X Audio inktofilm.libsyn.com/itf-dracula-...

I'm obsessed with adaptations, from the source books themselves to the films they inspire. That's why James and I have kept this passion project going for 8 years running. Join us for the first episode of our new season? We're talking #Dracula today 🧛⚰️🦇

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Now taking adaptation recommendations for 2025! What would you like for us to cover? www.patreon.com/posts/quarte...

Following all my favorite tiktok creators onto other content sites, doomscrolling while the US inaugurates a supremacist for the whites. LA fires stoked by liars blaming wokeness for the drought, ignoring global climate change to build your social media clout. There it is that funny feeling again.

"ah, you ended up here too? Well, you're not the only one. Come and warm yourself by the fire. What lands have you left behind? Meta? TikTok? No, don't say. It does not matter. The same fate finds us all, doesn't it? Ha ha ha ..."

The TikTok ban is over. The TikTok enshittification has begun.

The Bear is such a well-written show (on top of great performances.) I just watched the Christmas Dinner Berzatto family episode and I mean holy shit, what a masterclass. And for those of us who grew up in large, loud, and often fucked up families? A little too familiar. (But I love it)

Had a blast at the BREATH OF THE DRAGON launch event! It’s always great to catch up with @fondalee.bsky.social. I also got to meet her co-author for this book Shannon Lee & hear about being a steward for her father’s legacy. Can’t wait to find out how it all comes together! 🐉🔥 #brucelee #fondalee

A condensed version of my Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 recap from our recent episode on "A Christmas Carol." I helped Fonda Lee sell books at her booth, met some of my favorite influencers, participated in panels, & met Brandon Sanderson long enough to get a photo together! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYt9B3UT/

Me facing 2025

The Muppet Christmas Carol was so good it had us asking: What other movie would you like to see muppetized but one human actor remains? (We chose from past Ink to Film projects!) Send some holiday cheer our way? www.patreon.com/posts/muppet...

This was one of those times where the movie I watched was a lot different than the one I remembered 😅

How does A CHRISTMAS CAROL--a story from 1843--feel surprisingly timely? We debate the value of CEO generosity, a new rise in class consciousness, and the legacy of Charles Dickens. Plus, check out 58:38 for a recap of Dragonsteel Nexus 2024! #DSNX24 Audio bit.ly/3VCZkmY Video bit.ly/4fgD2hU
