Episode 53 - Another Story Ruined by Hollywood

What's up everybody? We're back with a brand new 53rd episode of the only podcast on the Internet. On this episode of Topicocalypse, Josh saw the trailer for The Girl in the Spider's Web, and he isn't happy. For those of you who are familiar with the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo novels by Steig Larsson, you know that Lisbeth Salander is one of the most badass characters to ever grace the pages of a novel or the big screen. However, the latest film in the series as produced by Sony called The Girl in the Spider's Web has taken her character and not only butchered the novel, but made her into something she was never intended to be, a Swedish batman. So this leads Josh to ask the question, is Hollywood butchering great stories for the sake of a social agenda? After all, Lisbeth Salander is already a prevelant character without being turned into a hyper violent vigilante against men. What do you think? We talk about all of this and more on this episode of Topicocalypse. This episode is brought to you by WheelyQ BBQ Sauces and Rubs.
