TRANSCRIPT
DESCRIPTION

a brand new format on the pod ?? dedicated to hasty film-to-book adaptations, ie artless exercises in turning the written word into studio merch?? why, what a NOVEL concept !!

yea that’s right, we can and DO read books - and this nutty, troubling novelisation of the classic Christmas comedy-horror Gremlins is a great place to start.

Noah and Eliza both read George Gipe’s tie-in novel and are horrified to realise the thus-far-untold depths of Mogwai suffering. Are all movie novelisations like this, and why are they like this, and can we find one that stands on its own merits as a work of literary fiction?

Let us know if you’ve read one and we’ll give it a try. as long as there’s a few pages of sick movie stills in the middle.
