Introduction and Excitement for Book Adaptations
00:00:12
Speaker
Hey guys, you're listening to bring your own and catch all bookish most of the time podcast. I'm Brandy. I'm Kendra. I'm Kayla. And today, I'm so excited. We are talking about books that we would love to see put on the screen, whether that's TV, movies, we'll talk about that more in a little bit.
00:00:34
Speaker
But we all picked a book that we would like to see adapted. So, yes. But before we get started.
Current Reads and Drinks of the Hosts
00:00:44
Speaker
what are we reading what are we drinking i'll go i'm drinking water big sleigh on my end um and i am reading an arc of not in love by miss alie hazelwood flex um yeah yeah i can confirm it is her hottest book on record i was like oh my god i've heard that this
00:01:08
Speaker
Once it starts, you're kind of like, it doesn't stay fucking. I was like, Oh, my God, Ali, Ali. And then I'm not listening to anything. But I did just finished Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. That was so good. And like just tender and so sweet. And one of the only books that I personally can think of where it was it was a book about a platonic friendship, but between a guy and a girl.
00:01:37
Speaker
I don't think I've ever read a book like that. And they were both queer and like in school. I don't know how Britain's school system works. So like, they're fucking like year 13. I don't fucking know. Almost done. But let's go to university. And it was just it was so good. And it was good on audio to the Brits not to make really good audio books. They do the Brits now.
00:01:59
Speaker
I'll go. So I just finished a delicious Coke Zero, despite Kendra saying a couple of weeks ago on our on our Instagram post that my love is Diet Coke, which is not true. But I sent the post to you guys and say, does this look good? And you go, yeah, I listen. I just assume that you know me enough to know that I'm I did. I I and I said, like, I just read it wrong. I was like typing it so fast. I just read it. No, it's OK. It's OK. It's OK.
00:02:27
Speaker
Maybe you want to switch things up, Kayla. I don't. And then I am listening to As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zulfa Kato. I believe is how you say her name. And I've had this on Libby on hold for a while, but it finally came through. So I'm listening to that. And then I am reading Physically the Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black, which is the sequel to The Stolen Heir, which is the spinoff.
00:02:56
Speaker
of the Folk of the Year series. So very excited for that. I literally am only like 10 pages in.
00:03:03
Speaker
Jude Cardan sightings, so I'm happy. I am drinking a lemon sparkling water. It is spin drift, not La Croix this time. I love spin drift. I like it too. I think La Croix, or lemon is the only La Croix flavor I prefer over spin drift. Like the grapefruit, the spin drift is better and stuff. It's yummy. I'm never going to say no to spin drift and my Whole Foods does not have
00:03:31
Speaker
That is what I'm drinking. And then I am currently listening to the Prisoner's Throne. Kayla, I didn't know you started. Wow. You're not listening to anything right now. Although I would say like, I'm not loving the narrator. I'm going to keep listening to it because I paid for it. I used to credit, but different narrator from the stolen heir.
00:03:54
Speaker
Yeah, because this is Oak's book. Oh, right. The last one was Ren's. Yeah. Right, right, right. He's not bad. It's just like, you know how it bugs me so bad when you know that he obviously hasn't read the Folk of the Era series, which we can't expect everyone to. But the way he's narrating Cardin, I'm like, no. Oh, OK. That's not how he would say that at all kind of thing, you know? So things like that. But it's fine. It's very like.
00:04:22
Speaker
Oh, a fantasy book. Yeah, you know what I mean? Loser. Yeah, I'll wait to read it physically. You got that. Yeah, so it's not too bad. And I think I'll be like getting used to it. It's just like, you know, I like I know the narrators I like these days.
00:04:37
Speaker
So I so rarely just like dive headfirst into a narrator. I don't know. And I am physically still fucking reading A Shadow and the Reaping by Bryn Weaver, which it's not the book's fault. I'm having fun every time I get to read it. It's because I've done, I had some like other physical books that were like kind of time pressing. So I have been just like slow. This one's been on the back burner, but now it's on the front burner. So yeah.
Introduction to Adaptation Picks and Casting Dreams
00:05:06
Speaker
Okay, so how we're gonna do this is that each of us, it's gonna be like a little round table kind of situation where each of us can take our turn talking about which book we picked, why we picked it, who we cast, all that good stuff. Do you guys have like a favorite adaptation? It doesn't have to be romance, just like one where you're like, that was really good.
Favorite Book Adaptations Discussion
00:05:26
Speaker
I mean, I think the universal, at least amongst, especially our age group, The Hunger Games was a pretty good adaptation, especially Catching Fire.
00:05:35
Speaker
movie is so good yeah i don't this sounds so not like other girls of me but i don't watch a lot of movies so and i watch mostly like reality tv when i do watch tv so i don't i don't think i've seen a ton of stuff oh i just watched poor things i haven't read the book but it was really good
00:05:56
Speaker
Kendra, do you have one? Yeah, I think to all the boys I loved before, it was just such a good act. That was a moment. The other two, I think, were poorly adapted. And when you realize that they were written, the first one was written by a woman, and the last two were written by men and directed by men. Oh, really? It was just like, you guys missed. Yeah, the first one was all by women. It was so great. And then the last two, you were just like,
00:06:18
Speaker
person was so that one was really good yeah and then i haven't read this book but i love the adaptation it was the looking for alaska adaptation on hulu and john green also really loves it it got like barely any promotion but it guys if you guys just want like a good mini series it's so fucking good so good it's done by the same people who did the original gossip girl and they just fucking smashed it yeah okay i watched it during covid and i just loved it
00:06:46
Speaker
Oh, speaking of, I really liked normal people. I did. Yeah, that's a good one. I haven't read the book, but yeah, I have read the book and I did enjoy it. I thought it was adapted quite well. Did you guys read the newest one that everybody's crying over one day or see the other movie? I saw the other movie. That was like my comfort movie in college. Really? I think I saw pieces of the movie, but I haven't seen the show because I don't have Netflix anymore. I watched
00:07:14
Speaker
the series, the miniseries last weekend didn't cry. But that's probably because I knew what happened.
Brandy's Adaptation Choice: 'Funny You Should Ask'
00:07:23
Speaker
So first, before we go into specifics, we want to each say which book that we picked.
00:07:31
Speaker
Yeah, maybe you can give a little synopsis of each book as well as we go around. I can go first. I chose Funny You Should Ask by Alyssa Sussman, which is one of my favorite audiobooks ever. I just loved how that audiobook was done for me personally. And it is about
00:07:54
Speaker
Gabe and Honey. Honey is a journalist and Gabe is like an up and coming star actor. Like he just got cast in the new Bond series and he is just like at the top of his game and she's sent to do a profile on him but it turns into like a whole weekend of them just like hanging out because he's just like so nice and so gracious and like they're just having like the best weekend ever. But it's told in dual timeline and in present day which is 10 years later
00:08:24
Speaker
you can tell something bad happened at the end of that weekend and they're like reconnecting for a 10 year anniversary of the story because it went super viral because she was talking about how great of a weekend they were having. And so you're slowly piecing together what happened as well as like seeing where they're at now and like watching them kind of reconnect after all of this. So, yeah.
Kayla's Adaptation Choice: 'Check & Mate'
00:08:48
Speaker
I chose check-in mate. I was going in between
00:08:52
Speaker
two books. I'll explain that a little bit later. But I chose check and mate by Ali Hazelwood. I think a lot of people know this book already. But really quickly, I'll just say the synopsis. So it's about Mallory who was a chest prodigy growing up.
00:09:08
Speaker
However, due to some things that kind of led to the destruction of her family, she's not playing chess anymore. Her focus is now like on her mom and her two little sisters. She's basically like helping financially provide for her family.
00:09:23
Speaker
Then she kind of begrudgingly agrees to play in this charity tournament. And to everybody's surprise, she beats the reigning champion and like the bad boy of chess, Nolan. Her win like shocks everybody, right? And so her victory kind of opens the door to other tournaments and things that she discovers give her some much needed money. And during all this, she also can't help but feel drawn to Nolan
00:09:53
Speaker
and he keeps wanting to play her as well he's like I want you to keep playing and keep playing me and so it's just kind of about that her journey like whether or not she really even wants to do this whole chess thing because she again has some like history with it that didn't end so well and her relationship with Nolan and it's super fun super cute YA book
00:10:16
Speaker
Kendra, what about you?
Kendra's Adaptation Choice: 'Ready or Not'
00:10:18
Speaker
I'm doing Ready or Not by Ms. Cara Bastone. People are going to be sick of this.
00:10:25
Speaker
Brown girl. Run it up again. I know, I know. I listened to this book and immediately was like, this belongs on the screen like this, this deserves it. Ready or Not follows a young woman named Eve who finds herself accidentally pregnant after a one night stand with a random guy in the bar.
00:10:47
Speaker
So this book follows her pregnancy over the course of nine months as she has to navigate all things in her life while also trying to figure out how to be a parent with the guy she had a one-night stand with and she also finds herself falling for her best friend's brother. And it's just such a feel-good time. I love it so much.
00:11:10
Speaker
much and what requirement that we had was like it each had to be a book that we at least two of us have read and all these books we've all read and it couldn't be a book that had been previously optioned so like we could have easily been like oh we're gonna do like an Emily Henry book but like be treated yeah everyone's like yeah everyone's already casting those it's already in production like yeah well not production it's in it's been acquired all that crap so we wanted to make it fun like these are books that we hope one day but as of right now
00:11:38
Speaker
recording this episode. Watch tomorrow we're gonna wake up and it's gonna be all three of them.
Casting Discussions for 'Funny You Should Ask'
00:11:44
Speaker
Who wants to start? I think you should start Brandy.
00:11:49
Speaker
Um, okay. So as mentioned, I am doing funny. You should ask. Um, I am doing it as a movie. So like I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, we have the option to do movie limited series, series, anything. I'm
00:12:09
Speaker
choosing a movie because I think the dual timelines would make for like a really engaging like 90 to 20 minutes or excuse me 90 to 120 minutes with audiences like learning more and more and like piecing things together in the same way that we got to do as a book and I think if this could split up into a series people would like
00:12:28
Speaker
get bored if we try to stretch that plot into multiple episodes. And I don't like the idea of doing some episodes in the past and some episodes in the present. So I think it could just work really well as a movie. Why did you pick this book initially? Great question, Kayla. Thank you for asking. You're so welcome.
00:12:50
Speaker
I think this one because it's like I think like all the ingredients for like a great rom-com to me like it is funny it has a lot of humor but it's also touching on like really serious stuff because this is like a slight spoiler it's not a huge massive spoiler for the book but Gabe is like struggling with
00:13:07
Speaker
alcoholism and there's like broken relationships and you know like um shitty partners and things like that so like it's not just like all shits and giggles and hijinks and all that stuff but it's still like i find parts of this book to be deeply romantic and also like very funny um so i thought that that is like all the good balance for all that stuff so for casting
00:13:34
Speaker
I challenged myself to, if you've read this book, you know that it's like the characters are loosely based on Jenny Slate and Chris Evans, and the whole book wasn't like inspired by an interview Chris Evans did a while ago. So I challenged myself to not use Jenny Slate and to not use Chris Evans, which Hani was really easy for me, Gabe, not so much. So I am casting Aya Cash as Hani.
00:14:02
Speaker
and i think if you're not familiar with her i discovered her in you're the worst which is an fx show that i watched on hulu and i thought it was so fucking funny in college i haven't watched it since then but she was also in the boys and stuff like that um i picked her as hani and i picked her partially because like she's like really approachably stunning which i think
00:14:21
Speaker
that like pretty well represents Hani in the book like you could pass her on the street and like carry on with your day but if you like get a good look at her face you're like whoa you know like please marry me so and like i said i was obsessed with her and you're the worst and by watching that show i know she has the skills to be like really goofy and charismatic but also like
00:14:39
Speaker
handle really serious topics and like be a really like emotionally developed actress. I think she's just very very talented. So that one was easy for me and like Hani's kind of like this like goofy nerd in the book and like kind of like you know fangirls for a little bit when she first meets Gabe. I just think she could do that so well. I can see it so perfectly. Gabe was like much harder for me.
00:15:00
Speaker
Because I like I was thinking like two different thought processes I was like are we shooting for the moon like we can get anybody like anybody's gonna say yes to this job Or is it like who do I think could like? realistically do a movie like this so I do think like a Hemsworth brother would be great because
00:15:20
Speaker
I need somebody who could be a James Bond, because Gabe was cast in the Bond series, but also with the acting chops to play a person who's deeply struggling with addiction and how that's affecting his life and grief and everything like that. So I do think one of the Hemsworth brothers could do that well, but I don't think that they would do a rom-com. I did think obviously the king of rom-coms, Glenn Powell potentially,
00:15:49
Speaker
I did throw around the idea of John Krasinski since I've had a crush on him since I was in middle school. And he's like all beefy now. So I was like, maybe, but that didn't feel right. I don't know. So I did also think about Henry Golding for a second, but now I'm just listing people who I think are hot. So I'll stop.
00:16:06
Speaker
Yeah. You had to pick, unfortunately, not unfortunately, but like, like Glenn Powell is just like top of mind because he was just in a rom-com. My favorite rom-com ever is set it up, which he's the star in. So like he does just come to mind for me, but I do think he would be great in the role. Like, I think like he has the looks for what Gabe is, you know, like this A-list actor in Hollywood. Um, and also like the chops to be able to play that role and also like seems realistic to be.
00:16:35
Speaker
in a semi-serious rom-com. So let's say Aya Kash and Glenn Powell. When I was casting them, I was also thinking about how I needed people who could look 30 and 40 because this book takes place when they're 30 and then they reacquaint when they are 40.
00:16:53
Speaker
So I want obviously it's still to be told in those dual timelines like jumping back and forth, one when they're 30 and having their first weekend together where the story is written, and then the other one obviously when they're reconnecting. The only real
00:17:08
Speaker
side character that I thought was worthy of us doing our casting here was Oliver Matias, who's Gabe's best friend and the most important side character in the book. He's British, he's hot, he was also potentially gonna be a Bond. So I thought reggae is on page because he is in Bridgerton. I think he would do streaming stuff and he's also got the look for a Bond, he's hot and he's British.
00:17:35
Speaker
Yeah, I mean obviously anybody can put on an accent, but I was like that. I honestly think like I read this book like close to when Bridgerton was blowing up. I feel like that's who I was picturing as Oliver anyways. So yeah, one of my favorite parts about this book though is that you get to read Hani's article. Like you get to read it bit by bit throughout the book, but then you get to see what actually happened to inspire her to write that part of the article.
00:17:56
Speaker
So like what she writes isn't necessarily exactly what happens. And I like, I don't know how I would get that into a movie. I would hire somebody who would be able to do that really well. Yeah. But like, yeah, I don't know. They're chopping it. Yeah. What? No, but I feel like that's one of the best parts about it is like seeing like what you put out into the world versus what actually happened. But you're right. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe it could be like with the dual timelines, like when you're in the past.
00:18:22
Speaker
Like they have like a short little snippet, like a couple sentences max where they read it out loud over like the voiceover or something. And then it goes to this, I don't know. I'm not a movie maker, I don't know. Me either. And then I was thinking about like the potential of like, is it a voiceover? Are we seeing people on screen reading it and like talking to each other about it? I was like, those all seem a little cheesy to me. So I don't know. Yeah, it would probably get chopped. Kendra, you're in.
00:18:48
Speaker
I do have a degree in television That I do not use but I think what would happen is like since I think you would tell this story linearly and not like do pass it like I think that's the easiest way to do it since you're not going to do like alternating episodes and Then like it would just they would just turn that article into like an ET online news story So like it would be recapped but like you wouldn't you wouldn't read it wouldn't be reading it. Yeah. Yeah
00:19:16
Speaker
Right. Like they're like talking about it somewhere because it was like once super viral and like it like quote unquote launched Hani's career. And she's like, that's why she feels obligated to like speak with him again 10 years later, even though she doesn't really want to. So, yeah, I like that.
00:19:30
Speaker
So yeah, those are the people I would cast as my main three people. The location for this one, I wouldn't change it at all. It takes place mostly in LA, 100% of the time in LA. But I think there's the way that it's written, it has such great potential to show the parts of LA that aren't what somebody thinks of when they think of LA. They go to his favorite pub and things like that. And there is a red carpet scene, which is a great way to get that flash. And that is why I just think this would make such a good,
00:20:00
Speaker
movie. Um, but then also in present time, he's from Montana and he takes honey back to Montana in the present timeline and like meets his family and stuff. So like, I would leave that as small town man, Montana as well.
00:20:14
Speaker
As for where I think this should go out, I like wanted to say Netflix because like I said, Set It Up is my favorite rom-com and that was like a Netflix movie straight to streaming on Netflix kind of thing. But like, I feel like Netflix doesn't give the attention to these kinds of like movies or TV shows anymore that they did in like 2017 when Set It Up came out. So I'm gonna say Amazon Prime.
00:20:44
Speaker
I did love what they did with Daisy Jones and The Six. I didn't love the plot, but like the production and like the media for it and all of that stuff. So I'm going to say Amazon Prime straight to streaming movie. And the last question that we all decided we wanted to do is like, who's going to be like a person who's going to do an original song for our movie or TV show? I want Suki Waterhouse because he is angsty and hot and romantic and catchy all at once.
00:21:11
Speaker
which is I feel like exactly what this book is. It's like a balance of angst and romance and like just like being hot. And so like, I want Suki Waterhouse. I'm thinking about like to love that song from her. I'm like, oh, like if there was a Gabe and Hani song that sounded like that, I'd be happy, happy girl.
00:21:29
Speaker
Love that. That's a good one. I haven't read that book in so long. I reread it. I met her about a year ago at the LA Times Festival of Books and I re listened to it and it's just like it's such a fun like it's solid even if you don't love it, love it, love it like I do. I feel like I haven't met many people who've read it. I like your second book a lot too. I don't know. Did you end up reading that?
00:21:50
Speaker
I haven't yet. I read it on audio. It was good. I think funny you should ask was a little bit better, but that one was still good. It was still a fun listen. Once more feeling was hotter. Yeah. Yeah. And it had a lot more side characters and other people involved too, but it was a good one. I'd watch your movie, Brandy.
00:22:09
Speaker
Thank you. I cannot get the image of, since I decided for Aya Cash and Glenn Powell, I can't get it out of my head. I just think they're both so beautiful. Yeah, that'd be good. I was looking at what she looked like when you were talking, because I didn't know who that was. Can you try me picture? Yeah, I don't know what she looked like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll put all this on our Instagram.
00:22:29
Speaker
Yeah, let me get a picture that I was like, Yeah, that's honey. Yeah, that's a great picture. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's like, that's like 40. Yeah, she could play someone who's 30, play someone who's 40. Okay, who else to go next? Okay.
Casting Discussions for 'Check & Mate'
00:22:44
Speaker
Okay. Um, so as you guys know, I did pick check in mate by Ali Hazelwood. Um, I was going to pick the seven year slip by Ashley Poston.
00:22:54
Speaker
Yeah, because I just thought that that would be such a cutie little like magical little rom-com I thought it'd be so sweet but the reason that I didn't pick it was when I was searching for people to fan cast I couldn't find a hot red head to play you won so I did it like name one go You can just change no, I won't it's not well to the story no, but
00:23:24
Speaker
Ashley might think it is, and I don't want to upset the author. Or you could just like dye whoever's hair. Bro, KJ Appa? I guess I could. He played? No. He played Archie? Bro, he looked good. I know he played Archie, but. He looked good with his little box-eyed hair. No, he's a little too young and I mean, he's not that young, I guess. But anyway, that's part of the reason because I did want to make him a ginger, but there are no hot
00:23:54
Speaker
Ginger men, so I was like, nevermind. Michael Fassbender, he's technically a ginger. He is, but he's old. Okay, age gap it.
00:24:06
Speaker
It's a movie. You're adapting it. You can make changes. I know. I know. Well, I know I can make changes. But anyway, that was the reason. But checking me, I still think would make a really great movie. I did struggle a little bit with the cast, but we'll get to that. So why I picked this kind of falls into like the format that I want to do, which is a movie.
00:24:27
Speaker
Okay. And the reason like that I'm picking it is because I just think that even though like you said, Brandy, sometimes Netflix doesn't give the same attention to like some rom coms, I think that the tension that
00:24:43
Speaker
maybe not Netflix gives it but the audiences do are YA based rom coms series movies like think to all the boys I've loved before that blew up the summer I turned pretty which is Amazon Prime but you know still like I think that those audiences find those things and they love them make them big yeah and like
00:25:05
Speaker
Summer I Turn Pretty, we're all in our late 20s, but we still watch it, enjoy it. To all the boys I've loved before, I was, when did that come out? 2017, 2016? 2017.
00:25:17
Speaker
2017 so I was in my last year of college, but that was a great time That was such a good movie I and like so when you mentioned that earlier I was like oh that's part of the reason why I picked it because I was just like it could have a to all the boys I've loved before moment and That's part of the reason why I picked it. I just thought it was so good and also just the chest aspect of it I loved the Queen's Gambit when it came out on Netflix a couple years ago and
00:25:41
Speaker
And it like made everybody love chess. Like chess sales blew up when the Queen's Gambit came out and this would do the same. Get more young people into chess. Your life's work. Yeah.
00:25:56
Speaker
So yeah, that's those are the couple of reasons that why I chose it. And same same story as like, Brandy, I think that even though it is a cutesy little rom com, there's still, you know, plenty of depth to it. And I just think that a lot of YA audiences will love it. And I think that adults our age would love it. I just think it would be such a good movie. So fan cast, I really struggled here specifically with Nolan, I struggled a lot. I literally have like six people listed. Yeah, I mean, I have I have like a main one, but
00:26:26
Speaker
I'll start with Mallory. My initial thought, my initial thought was Sabrina Carpenter, because she's blonde and pretty, I guess. She is like, what's she like, 24, 25? Something like that. She's 25. Oh, she'll be 25. She'll be 25. For a year apart. I do think that you can like, what, you know, once you take away like, you know, some of her hair extensions or whatever and her makeup, she will, she will age down a little bit. She can look younger. Like she, she can look younger. I think it could work, but also Kendra gave me this option, Maddie Ziegler.
00:26:56
Speaker
I think could also work really well. So I think of those two, I'd probably pick Maddie.
00:27:05
Speaker
Um, so I think that's who my main one is going to be. And then Nolan, like I said, I really struggled here, but, um, I had a bunch of options on here, like Jacob Tremblay. Um, cause I was like, I was like, no, literally listen to me. Listen to me. Hold on. I was like, who is a young
00:27:27
Speaker
hot actor, like younger, like at least I thought they had to be at least like 23 or younger. No, listen, he's not hot. I know that. I know that. I know that he's not on my, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I meant. Oh my God.
00:27:45
Speaker
Listen to me. I literally just googled young actors like I was like, I can't I don't know like popular young actors because I like didn't know I don't know who's popular with the kids these days. Okay, guys, I'm old. So I was like, I don't know. Nick of Tremblay came up and I was like, he could pass whatever but
00:28:02
Speaker
He's not it. I was like Joshua Bassett. I was like, I don't know, like the guy from Red Band Society. I don't know. I even put on here Lucky Blue Smith just for Kendra, but he's not my main pick. Smash, smash, smash. With his fucking toothpick the whole time. And I'd be rewatching. It'd be number one on Netflix because of me.
00:28:31
Speaker
You see that video where he slapped Nara's ass on camera and everyone's been stitching it like, bro, we know he tears her. I mean, he's gotten pregnant three times in like three years. She's 22. God bless her soul. Anyway, but again, Kinder also gave I even put down Timothy Chalamet, but he's too old. So Kinder also gave me this one because again, like I don't know.
00:28:54
Speaker
I don't know. I've never heard of this man until Kendra told me about him. She's like, Kayla, use the guy from Henry Danger. And I was like, what is that? I said, what is that? I've never heard of that in my life. This guy's name is Jace Norman. I thought he's okay. But he's my best option. We're going with Jace.
00:29:15
Speaker
Kayla, he was a part of Dan Schneider's like final run on Disney Channel and booed Dan Schneider like piece of shit but he was a hit maker like there's just no like he was making hits. Henry Danger do you know he was like I think at the time like Jojo Seawall was like running laps around Nickelodeon. Henry Danger was like the number one show on Nickelodeon after like
00:29:35
Speaker
iCarly and Victoria. After those went off the air, it was all Henry Danger. This kid is so fucking loaded and rich. Kendra goes, just use people who are on Disney Channel now. I'm like, I don't know who's on Disney Channel. So I had to go look in. But anyway, Jace Norman, congrats. You're my Nolan. We'll post a good photo. I didn't force you to do this. I was just saying. Can you guys think of one? No, this is the photo I sent to Kayla. Because I was like, he can grow his hair back out, and he'll look good now that he's a little older.
00:30:05
Speaker
He's hot, he's like dirty hot. I initially thought of, okay, did you guys watch Red Band Society? Yeah, I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah, I mean, he's a little older now, so he wouldn't really work, but I was like, he could work, but he's older now, so he's like, he's like 27 years old. Let's age him up. Graduating college, it's a high school. Oh, age Nolan up, okay. Yeah, I mean, okay, so Charlie Rowe and Jason Norman are my picks. Yeah.
00:30:33
Speaker
Those are the guys. All right. There are plenty of side characters in this story as well. So I tried to do like the main ones. I'm not doing her little sisters because I don't really know any child actors, but I'll start with her best friend, Easton. Easton Pena. And I picked Social Gomez. I thought that she would be really great. She spoke her name with an ex.
00:30:57
Speaker
yes social social that's how you pronounce it i've never known how to i've never like heard anyone say her name before i've always just seen it like yeah i think it's social social gomez so i picked her it was between her and jenna ortega who's like obviously really popular right now and then we have oz who is like one of her one of mallory's like older mentors at
00:31:21
Speaker
Juswek, Juswek, however you say it. The chest place. The chest place. He has he's a white blonde guy. So I picked Will Poulter because he's kind of scary looking. He would kill that. I know. I was like cutting myself on the back. That was probably my favorite one of all of the fan casts. And then Daphne.
00:31:45
Speaker
Right? Daphne? She is, I believe, a white woman with like pixie cut and tattoos. And I don't know anybody who has a pixie cut. So I just thought immediately of Florence Pugh when she had her short hair. So I was like, Florence, congrats. You win. You could go pick this hair, Kayla. I know, but I can't think of like
00:32:08
Speaker
I don't know who we're sticking to. No. I can't even like think of anybody anyway. And we like Florence. So I don't like that haircut on her, but I don't either. But who do you like it? Like who would pull it off? Well, who would pull it off? Well, yeah, maybe it's not bleached that way. Then it'll look better. Definitely also like wears like funky colors. Right. And like
00:32:33
Speaker
different kinds of makeup like she yeah she experiments a lot with her style I remember right so um all right and then we have her two other chess friends that she makes
00:32:45
Speaker
along the way Emil and Tanyu. Okay Emil I used this kid named Skylyn Brooks who I'd never heard of before but I thought that he looked the age really well and he's like he's really cute too so I picked him and then Tanyu I picked Avantika from the newest Mean Girls.
00:33:08
Speaker
So I thought that she would do I thought that she would play a nerdy little chess girl really well So those are my picks
00:33:18
Speaker
It was hard can't even lie to you some some some were really easy, but some were very difficult Location I mean I'm sticking to the book on this one too as you guys know stick to the book is what I do But I mean this one's not that hard to stick to anyway She's from New Jersey, but they kind of go around a couple different places throughout the book for the different chess tournaments So you know it switches location, which is nice and then okay for the song this one was also kind of easy for me I thought okay who
00:33:47
Speaker
would be a really great pick. Again, who's, you know, popular with Gen Z, Olivia Rodrigo is super popular with Gen Z. So I was like, that's a no brainer to me to pick Olivia Rodrigo. And if Sabrina did play Mallory, Sabrina could also make a song for the for the movie. But I picked Olivia Rodrigo. And where is your movie going? Like, did you say that?
00:34:10
Speaker
Yeah, I think it would go to Netflix. Again, I would hope, I think that Netflix would hope that it would recreate the same magic that to all the boys did. So I'm going with Netflix. Yeah. They're going to like try to get like, cause they lost Ginny Hawn to Amazon. They're going to be like, Ali, they're going to get Ali. Yeah. Okay. Kendra tell us about ready or not on the big screen.
Casting and Marketing Strategies for 'Ready or Not'
00:34:34
Speaker
I'm so happy.
00:34:36
Speaker
to talk to you guys about ready or not because I would have to do this in college like we would have to like picture our original ideas oh my god I'm getting like war flashbacks I'm not gonna do it in that same format so yeah I'm doing it ready or not which I like you too I'm making it into a movie okay but I will say this like we're not doing streaming no no no no no we're thinking big
00:34:58
Speaker
We're going worldwide release because I'm sitting here only in theaters only and then there will be a bidding war for who gets the streaming rights once the movie does like a fucking 12-week run 12 weeks is crazy in the theaters Because I'm like I saw that no offense brandy I saw Glenn Powell's new movie with Sidney Sweeney. Yeah movie was a
00:35:23
Speaker
ass and everyone ate it up and it made them so much money. It's like one of the highest grossing rom coms now. That's crazy. Okay. So let's do it with a good story. Put the marketing budget behind it and we're going to get to work. So yeah, we're going theaters. It's going to be a summer hit. Think like, you know, everyone's like, Oh, I want rom coms to come back like 2000s and 2010s rom coms. I'm going to give it to you. Yeah. Okay.
00:35:48
Speaker
I'm listening. For Eve, I have three options. I have who I want. I have who I know will get an ass in a chair. And then I have like the backup. No one else wants to do this movie, which I doubt it. But that's it for two others. If you're two others decide that they can't. Yeah. Like, you know, scheduling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It happens. It happens. Right.
00:36:09
Speaker
I think Victoria Pedretti would make such a good Eve. She was in the TV show, You. Oh my God. She would be so good. Kendra. Oh my God. She's my new Eve. I'm going to reread that book with her in my head. I think she just looks, I think Eve is just so down to earth and approachable. And I think like that is like what I want. Like I want you to be able to watch it and be like, that's Eve instead of like, Oh, that's so-and-so.
00:36:36
Speaker
But I'm going to say my next pick and you're like, oh, that's like so and so, but it would work because it would sell. Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence is still young enough. She's pushing. That sounds bad, but like it's true. She's 33. Jennifer Lawrence? She's 33. She's 33 about to be 34.
00:36:53
Speaker
Yeah, but I think she's been famous for so long, right? That's the thing like she's been famous for so long. So I don't think people like see her anymore as being like, but she just did a comedy last year. It was funny. It was really good. Yeah, we watched it together. Yeah, we did. And yes, I was at your house. Oh, you're so you were at my house. That's like I blocked that out. For some reason I was thinking because I was like, Oh, I watched it with Jared. You watched it with both of you.
00:37:19
Speaker
You really said, I don't give a fuck about you. That's crazy. I will say, I watched part of the Oscars last night and Jennifer Lawrence was there. I was like, she looks good. I was like, she looks good. I think like people would go to see a movie just to see Jennifer Lawrence. They don't even care what it's about. And she just became a mom or like she had a kid like a few years ago. So I think she would really connect with Eve and bring a lot of life to that character.
00:37:44
Speaker
And then like my backup option, which like, the more I look at it, I'm like, uh, but again, backup Haley Seinfeld, I think is young enough to play an Eve and she has the range. So I'm like, if no one else wants to do this, she has the range. And then I can put Oscar nominated in the trailer and like, Jennifer Lawrence would give you Oscar winner.
00:38:03
Speaker
That is true. That is true. And then Victoria Pedretti, once she does this movie, it's going to be Oscar nominated. Bro, I'm thinking big. Think about Barbie. Barbie did numbers. I'm trying to do numbers. Cara Bastone, I'm going to make you a fucking millionaire girl. So that's Eve. Now for Shep.
00:38:25
Speaker
I was like, I'm not gonna make Shep. Shep does need to be a white man in this. It's not detrimental to his character. And I wanna see more men of color in rom-coms, okay? So here are my options.
00:38:36
Speaker
for Shep, and then we'll base Willa off of Shep, obviously, because they're our brother and sister. So, Manny Jacinto from The Good Place. Oh, I love him. Strongest jawline of anything ever. See, I almost went with Charles Melton, but I was like, Charles Melton, I just don't know if he can do comedy, and he doesn't give puppy dog to me. Manny Jacinto gives puppy dog, and he can grow his hair out, because if there's one scene that we're not- Oh, he looks so good in his beard.
00:39:04
Speaker
A requirement for Shep is that they have to be able to have long hair and short hair because that's if you've read the book, you know. So Manny Jacinto, I think, would be such a good option. He's just so fucking hot and lovable. He's so hot. And his character on The Good Place, which is so, like, people already have that association of being, like, aloof. I love Jason. Like, yeah, like, Jason is so cute. He was my favorite character in that show.
00:39:26
Speaker
And then next I would do Shiraj Sharma who I had mentioned during our builder romance. He was on How I Met Your Father, so fucking hot. Oh my God. And he's already done a rom-com for Netflix. So like, I know he has the chops and he was fucking hilarious in How I Met Your Father and that show got canceled and he deserves to be a leading man once again. Yeah. And then lastly, I did Danny Ramirez who is going to be like the new, if Marvel gives him a chance, it's going to be the new Falcon because like he was in the TV show
00:39:54
Speaker
Falcon in the winter soldier and you know, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's really cute. He's Hispanic and he's so cute. He's so cute. He's beautiful. He's looking at my long hair. Right? I don't want to pinch his cheeks. He's that kind of guy. He's so cute. I just need a guy who can be lovable, but still have the seriousness too, for the more emotional scenes. So for Willa, if we do Manny Jacinto, Kelly Marie Tran, I think would be a really good
00:40:25
Speaker
Uh, Willa, um, for Shiraj. I don't know how to pronounce this woman's last name, but her first name is Geraldine. Um, and her last name is this. This one thing, this one thing, I'm so sorry if I butchered that, but she was just in this movie called driveway dolls here. I'll look up. So you guys can see, I think she's so pretty. Um, and she,
00:40:52
Speaker
can act and she was also in that movie I don't know if you guys saw it was called blockers I think it was like John Cena and like these girls go out yeah she's pretty prom she is very pretty right she's like gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous girl
00:41:05
Speaker
And then if we do Danny Ramirez, I'm thinking Camila Mendez because like Riverdale, that show was on the air for seven seasons. They have a loyal fan base. They're thinking, oh, Camila Mendez in a movie, I'm gonna go see it. That's at least guaranteed tickets right there. So yeah, then we have Ethan, who is the baby daddy, Yves' baby daddy. This one I struggle with a lot.
00:41:27
Speaker
Cause Kayla, Ethan's supposed to be, he's supposed to be redhead. I was like, fuck no, that's not, I don't care. He is? Yes, he's a redhead. I'm not, I'm dropping the redhead thing. I'm more so going with like his personality. Like he's like, you want to see this guy in a bar, be a few drinks in and be like, I fuck that guy. Yeah. That's what you do. So at first I'm thinking like Dylan O'Brien. People love him. I think he would make a good opposite person, but don't picture like Teen Wolf Dylan O'Brien.
00:41:54
Speaker
and don't picture like the one where he has like the buzz cut and the tattoos like for whatever movie picture like Dylan O'Brien when he's just like on Instagram kicking it hanging out with Logan Leerman that type of Dylan O'Brien if not him Jeremy Allen White I think he would make a good Ethan on popular opinion I do not think that he is good looking
00:42:13
Speaker
but I don't think you like white men. That's me. That's not true. Have you seen that Calvin and Klein ad? Yes, I've seen it. He has a nice body. His face is not my face. Whoa. This is why I don't need, I don't need Ethan to be like the hottest person, right? Like I still want Shep to be like the hot one, but I still want Ethan to have like the persona. But even still, like I'd have to be like 10 shots deep.
00:42:41
Speaker
which Eve was, to be fair. And then my last pick for Ethan, that's crazy. Kayla, you're on the floor if you had 10 shots to eat. You're crying. You're not fucking with me. My last pick for Ethan would be Brett Dyer, who was in Jane the Virgin. He played Michael. Clean him up. Clean him up. Because sometimes he looks a little ugly. Nothing alive. He grew up. But when he was in hair and makeup,
00:43:10
Speaker
i brandy's like fuck no ew i like him okay he's fucking funny and i think he would punch up this he is funny well i'll give you that there's this video of him and like the guy from pretty little liars are like best friends in real life i need to find an incident so i think it's the funniest fucking thing i've ever seen in my entire life which guy from pretty little liars
00:43:31
Speaker
um i think the guy played toby i never watched the show oh okay i forget his name and also like bret dyer he deserves a long career this movie's going big again so he's gonna do this movie and then his agent is gonna not be able to put down the phone like everyone's gonna want him if we can turn pete davison into a fucking sex symbol we can we have the ability to turn anyone into a sex symbol so don't rule out the uglies just yet that's all i'm trying to say um and then
00:43:59
Speaker
The last, well I have like two other things that I fan casted. So the next would be Nurse Louise. I feel like, let's say like we didn't get Jennifer Lawrence, right? Like, so we need like, I feel like the side characters would be like the big names, right? So that's who like I want. Like their name's gonna be on the poster, everything. Meryl Streep, yeah. Okay, so I thought that. I was like, I think she's like a little too old for Nurse Louise. She's too old, yeah. She's more still giving grandma instead of like mentor. Right. So I thought,
00:44:28
Speaker
Well, this person isn't as big, but I think she's very recognizable. It's Lisa Ann Walters. She plays Melissa on Abbot Elementary. Ah, yes. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tressie and the parent drops away. She feels great. People have such a familiar thing with her. I said either her or Laura Dern. I like Lisa Ann better because just the way her voice sounds and like the nursery. Very mothering. Yeah, very mother. So let's just stick with her. And then I think her brothers,
00:44:58
Speaker
would also be like really big names. So I was thinking like Jake Johnson, but like Fullbeard looks disgusting. So he looks, not disgusting. So that way he looks older because like I want to keep that of like the age gap between them. And then also, cause we're going for comedy. I think Seth Rogen, seeing Seth Rogen be anyone's brother in a movie, you're going to be fucking dying. And Eve's brothers were fucking hilarious. The rest of her brothers, cause I forget how many she has, they can just be whoever. So she has three. Okay, cool. Cause bro, I also put John Krasinski, but I think he's too hot.
00:45:28
Speaker
Yeah, you can have a hot breath like maybe she can have the one that's the carpenter that could be yeah Yeah, just cuz cuz then you're like, oh that's Seth Rogen like playing your brother later and they're not main characters So like again, like it doesn't take away from this story, you know You know when you watch a movie with Will Smith and you're like, oh, that's just Will Smith Like it's hard for you to look at them as other characters. Yeah
00:45:48
Speaker
Okay, location, New York, easy. We're going to film, we're going to try to film as on location as possible. Like Brooklyn, you're going to be sick of us. You're going to see our trailers out on the street every single day. We're closing down roads. Yeah. But I'm going to pull a page from the Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney movie. I'm calling the paparazzi every single day. Victoria Brady.
00:46:10
Speaker
If you have a significant other, give them a warning in advance because you and whoever we cast as Shep, oh my God, affair rumors, everything. Like people are gonna be itching to see you guys on screen together. Like it's gonna be so good. And then for the soundtrack, because we have money.
00:46:26
Speaker
for the soundtrack. It's gonna be, oh yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be a compilation soundtrack, or I don't know if that's the right word, but every artist is gonna be, it's gonna, like, think Fifty Shades of Grey, okay? Like, they had every fucking artist in the world, right? They got Beyonce. If Beyonce wants to do that, that's great. I think she qualifies for what I'm about to say. They have to be a mother, okay? To be on the soundtrack, and they all are gonna be,
00:46:55
Speaker
Wait, you mean like a literal mother or like, figurative mother? I mean, like, now that you put it that way, I'm like, hmm, mother? Yeah. That's what I thought you meant. That's what I thought you meant. No, no. Okay, okay, okay. Like, I literally, like, has a child. Like, has a child. Okay, yeah. So I thought following Rihanna. Rihanna's gonna do the soundtrack and we're gonna make a deal with her. Rihanna, Fenty Beauty?
00:47:24
Speaker
product placement, everything like we got you girl. They're only going to be wearing Fenty beauty. So boom, she wants to do the movie. She wants to do the movie. Even the middle of the scene is like, actually, hold on, let me put on my Fenty lip gloss real quick guys. Yeah. Um, and then
00:47:40
Speaker
Rihanna is going to do a cameo and I have it in my mind, right? So like there's a scene where Eve is getting like lunch or whatever with Nurse Louise and they're like having this great chat. And I feel like Rihanna can come into the diner and then she's going to be like, oh, nurse, like we'll like lie. Rihanna will play Rihanna.
00:47:56
Speaker
She'll be like, oh, nurse, like, how are you doing? And she'll just listen to anything this woman says. She delivered both my babies, blah, blah, blah. And then, boom, we can put Rihanna in the trailer, OK? We're going to do what they did to Zendaya and do in one. Because you know how they say she's not in that movie. Like, she's in there for like a scene and a half. We're going to do that for Rihanna. Every marketing push we have, she's going to be in it until people go see this fucking movie. What if Rihanna's like, I'm only going to do this if you let me do it with ASAP.
00:48:25
Speaker
Let me let her do it. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. Okay. I think he's out. Okay. ASAP can ASAP can be in it now ASAP can be in it. Okay. All right. Cause I know when I'm in it, he can, he can have a producer credit on a song. Um, and then also if let's say like, we can't get Rihanna, she's busy. No, we're going to get her though. We're going to get her. Cause she's going to read this story. And she's like, wait a second. Then we're also going to get Kelly Clarkson. You know, hear me out. We're gonna get Kelly Clarkson. She's a mom.
00:48:53
Speaker
She loves her kids and she just moved her show to New York. So like she's ingrained, she's becoming ingrained in New York. Kelly, we're gonna have her cover a song for the movie. Like she's gonna do something, think of whatever. She's great at covers. Great song. Boom. When the movie comes out, she's performing that song on Kellyoke. He goes viral. Yeah, we're selling like 100,000 units on iTunes. Like number one, crazy, like chart topper. And then she's gonna do an original song. And then we're gonna have the whole cast go on the Kelly Clarkson show and like promote the fuck out of this movie.
00:49:21
Speaker
You guys think I'm playing every time you open up tiktok you're gonna see a trailer Watch my trailer for ready or not. We're gonna be so annoying, but then it's also gonna be good. That is the difference Yeah, we're not ready or not ice cream, right? Like we're I'm thinking big Barbie like I'm taking this to the biggest you do they're like, yes, we need rom-coms. We need them back so Wow, yeah Anything else? Well, no, I know any other
00:49:47
Speaker
Just keep in mind that when you do a movie, usually like, this might have changed. Usually like 30% of your budget goes to marketing. So this is gonna be a big, you're gonna see like, damn, why are they spending like $200 million on this random ass rom-com? And then when you see us on every TV show, on every thing,
00:50:09
Speaker
you'll know why. And the marketing's gonna pay off and we're gonna make $400 million. I walked to the President of Disney Channel and I said, I wanna make history. I wanna make history. And then afterwards for streaming,
00:50:24
Speaker
I'm gonna give it to Peacock because Peacock, all y'all bitches that watch Real Housewives, all y'all finish the season, boom, that ad's gonna pop up. And you're gonna say, oh, I've been hearing about this movie nonstop and it has Rihanna. You're gonna give it the Oppenheimer treatment where it's like banner, banner, banner, you have to scroll like 10 times down to get away from ready or not. And then like on The Voice, they're gonna have like, they're gonna have a week where they like cover the songs, they're like on the movie or they're working with the artists who are also like on the movie soundtrack.
00:50:53
Speaker
It's gonna be big. Victoria, like these people's careers are about to change. It's gonna be directed by a woman. It's gonna be written by a woman. Cara Basom, we're gonna make her a little cameo in it too. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Cara should play the girlfriend that you never meet. Oh yeah. And then for marketing also, we're gonna do a doggy bar pop-up in New York City, Brooklyn.
00:51:20
Speaker
one weekend only the cast is gonna be there bring your dog or just go to it don't just just go to just set up at a current dog no it's gonna be the place what's the place called was the bar called i forget what it's called i don't know yeah we're gonna take ethan we're gonna take ethan's dog bar and we're gonna like take over another dog bar we're gonna completely rebrand it make it look like that

Speaker
like we're just gonna rebuild the set and then people you're gonna go to new york 10 years after this movie comes out and people are gonna be fucking begging like oh my god where did where did they shoot this bar scene like where did they shoot it where they shoot it and then it's gonna become a new york fucking staple like the gossip world tours and like the law and order svu tours so ready or not you have legs because that movie i think it just it's so good it's just such a good book and it would make such a good movie yeah
00:52:04
Speaker
Yeah, I love how we just like I was like I don't know if this person would be willing to do this type of movie and then Kayla was like I'm gonna go with the big names and Kendra said I'm making history

But they're manning. I'm going to be on both sides. I'm mainly going to work with marketing, though. But both sides, both sides. Right. OK. Both sides. My bad, my bad. All right. What would the rating? What would the rating be on y'alls? PG-13. Yeah, PG-13, because mine is YA. So I have to be PG-13.
00:54:17
Speaker
Yeah, I think mine would be PG-13. I want to see as many people, but then I'm like, oh, they're sexy. But then we're just going to drive a book sales. I'm going to. Everyone on TikTok is going to be, guys, I wish they would have included the sex scene and then all the bitches are going to go buy the book and care about stone girl. You made another check. Congratulations, Alex Fink. Yeah, where are you putting her golden? Bro, she should make a cameo low key low key.
00:54:42
Speaker
She could be Eve. She looks good. She could be Eve. In a perfect world, Eve and Shep would be completely unknowns, but that's not fun for doing this exercise. But I think she would do good. Wow. That was great. I really feel like I was listening to a college presentation, sitting down fully engrossed in your presentation. In college, it was 10 times worse. You would have to
00:55:08
Speaker
Cause like when you, when screenwriters go to pitch movies or whoever producers, you have to literally tell the entire movie. Like, like every beat, every plot point, but like obviously you have to do it in a way that's like concise. So like my senior year, we would have to like watch movies and then come into class like the next day or the next week and pitch it. So it would be movies that like people had already seen. So like they know what to expect.
00:55:34
Speaker
And so, like, they're looking to see, like, well, I think you should have highlighted this or you should have done that, whatever, whatever. And it was fucking mirror breaking every single time. It was always better when you could do an original idea because then you could just bullshit your way through it and make it up. But doing the shit that already existed hard. But I mean, it works because like then, you know, like you're really good at it. Bro. Yeah. Thank you. Columbia College, Chicago. Sponsor us. That's well, everybody. So fun. It was. We'll have to do this again. I like this.
