We begin today’s episode with philosophy! More specifically, we discuss the Existential Elk Theory and the sad, soul-crushing reality that is the human condition. Fun! Oh yeah, we also talk about Moby Dick for a bit.

After the extended cold open, we settle into a conversation about how the support of family and friends is important to creatives, but also how their negativity can be a sign to cut ties and elevate the class of people you associate with. If you have a certain goal you want to reach, you need to be around like-minded individuals who will help you reach those goals, not hold you back.

#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job? After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.
