Alan and Nisha are back in Episode 6 to talk about another classic: The Island of Dr. Moreau. This story was originally published as a novel by legendary science fiction writer H.G. Wells in 1896. It tells of a far away island and the mysterious doctor who lives there conducting strange experiments.
This novel had been adapted many times over the years, so Alan watched a total of four...yes, FOUR film adaptations to prepare for this discussion. First, the fairly well-regarded 1932 film The Island of Lost Souls, followed by the rather loosely based Filipino film The Twilight People (1972), the more straightforward Island of Dr. Moreau (1977), and the infamous 1996 adaptation starring David Thewlis, Val Kilmer, and Marlon Brando.
We weren't prepared for the absolute insanity of these adaptations, including a bizarre connection with another unlikely film franchise! Join us as we descend into the chaos and find out: Is the book really better than the movie?
