After making a splash at Cannes, THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is finally getting released to theaters around the US. It’s a faithful film adaptation of the memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch, and we’re joined by both a memoirist and a filmmaker to discuss it all — Roxane Gay (HUNGER, BAD FEMINIST, and much more) and Alain Martin (The Forgotten Occupation). Then we’ll name some of our favorite memoir adaptations, and some memoirs we’d like to see adapted to film What’s Good?Alonso - The Hunger: Film Writing 2012-2024 by Melissa AndersonDrea - TasteBuds NYC videosRoxane - Heated Rivalry book seriesAlain - LA trip (for local premiere of The Forgotten Occupation!)Kevin - Buzz Ballz for DreaITIDICGolden Globes 2026 HappenedAlamo Drafthouse Shifting from Pen-and-Paper to Mobile Menu OrderingStaff PicksAlonso - The SwimmerDrea - Sound of FallingAlain - Nouvelle VagueRoxane - HeddaKevin - Cedar Rapids Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
