Radaptations, Volume 1: The Martian

  Bitter Critic /   September 6, 2016 /   Critic, Featured /   Leave a Comment

Welcome to the first episode of Radaptations, a new podcast we’ll be highlighting over here at Bitter Empire. Join Bridget and Ginny as they get mildly to moderately drunk and discuss books that became movies and determine whether the movie was a radaptation or a badaptation. 

This week, Ginny and Bridget read The Martian, the book by Andy Weir, and watched The Martian, the movie starring Matt Damon’s abs.

Bridget had a nice chilled glass of sauvignon blanc to celebrate the inaugural episode, while Ginny kicked things off with shochu shots and an Argentinian malbec. What drinks would they take to Mars? Mulled wine and … more wine, apparently.

Hang tight for chat about whether there was too much math in the book (spoiler alert: Bridget thinks so), whether the book worked better as an audiobook, and, of course, Matt Damon as beef boy botanist and nerd hero.
