All Kinds of Philler: Based on the musical based on the film based on the book based on the podcast! This episode is all about Adaptations, which means comic books turned into shows, toys turned into movies, books turned into plays, and so on. Earl chats with Andrew on some recent examples of adaptations good and bad, what changes in translating between media, and nitpick on their favourite shows and films. They also discuss a bit of Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing, Mortal Kombat, Transformers, and even Pokemon. Minor spoilers throughout, and major spoilers in the Walking Dead section, so fair warning.

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one podcast that had no choice but to have All Kinds of Philler… it’s Arrested Development. That’s right, the long-awaited fourth season is finally here! Earl chats with Anna after marathoning all 15 episodes about the latest season of the TV show and what they think of the series as a whole. Just like the show, they both have a rich back-story, get ahead of themselves in their discussion, and say some inappropriate things! Was this new season a “Mission Accomplished”, or have they made a huge mistake?
