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 non-fiction book LIFE ITSELF by Roger Ebert, and the 2014 documentary of the same name. We talk about the legacy of Ebert, his love for cinema and life, and whether there is place for film criticism in today's social media landscape.
Hosts: Nicolò Grasso, Ewan Gleadow
Featuring: Carson Timar
Music: "The Jazz Piano" Royalty Free Music from Bensound, Remix by Nicolò Grasso
