Lord of the Flies (2026 Series) | How to Adapt a Classic

Jack Thorne's version of this literary classic demonstrates how bold, smart choices can breathe life into something that might have otherwise been stale. In episode 381, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they discuss all four episodes, appreciate strong performances by the young leads, debate the value of getting surreal with color, and explore how the expanded backstories for each character slightly changes the story's overall themes. The finish by casting their votes on which one is ultimately better: the book or the show?
