A comedy podcast where comedian Grace Mulvey and pop culture obsessive Niamh King ask the question 'what makes a great adaptation?'
In each episode we take a beloved book that has been made into a movie or show and do a deep dive into what the production got right (or very wrong). From banger soundtracks to dodgy casting, we get into what it takes to make The Jump from page to screen.

On the last episode of the season Niamh and Grace are tackling The Virgin Suicides; the 1993 novel by Jeffrey Eugenides and the iconic 1999 film adapted by Sofia Coppola. We dive in to love and memory, the traumas that form us and how adolescence can turn you into a little goblin weirdo! (This episode is a lot funnier than it sounds we promise!)
Music: Air. Playground Love. 1999
