Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss the controversial 1962 dystopian novel A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, and the iconic 1971 Stanley Kubrick adaptation. We talk about free will, ultraviolence, the dangers of brainwashing someone, government control, and the brilliance of Malcolm McDowell's performance.
Hosts: Nicolò Grasso & Ewan Gleadow
Featuring: Carson Timar
