  • Why review Lynch’s Dune with someone who doesn’t know his work?

    The most annoying podcast - spent the first half with a guy throwing out film titles and asking if David Lynch directed them. Unlistenable. How can you say you are film fans if you haven’t seen a Lynch film. And even if so, why spend 30 minutes on your ignorance?

  • It's a great podcast discussing books, and then the movie adapted by them.

  • My Arrival

    Thanks for the terrific Ted Chiang interview! (As a published short fiction writer who nevertheless encounters every new work of my own as if I’d never written before, I found Ted‘s thoughts on his own process helpful and inspiring.) It’s my first visit to your pod. You were recommended on the Hugos There Podcast. Looking forward to listening to the old shows and the shows to come. Best wishes.

  • Great hosts and cool podcast!

    I’ve been listening to Ink to Film podcast since 2019 and it keeps getting better. Most of the source material really interests me, and either I get a whole new take on something I’ve already read or watched, or I’m introduced to something that I might have completely overlooked. I love the deep dives, honest critiques, and funny stories. It’s sort of like chatting about books and movies with good friends, just way more in depth!
