In a very special episode of Hate Expectations, Lizzy learns the hard way that rock music is Satan's gateway to your heart, while Nate find's the school bully's unwanted attention is just a cry for help. No, wait. It isn't that kind of a special episode. It's a birthday episode! We finally get to the mic with our long awaited episode about Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief (1998) and its movie adaptation, the movie Adaptation. (2002, dir Spike Jonze). While the book is a delightful meandering read, the movie is more about the kind of hell that adapting a delightful meandering book for motion pictures can be. Nate then struggled to find a way to end the summary of the podcast about one of his favorite movies. In a self-aware and self-indulgent manner, he finally wrote the sentence "Nate then struggled to find a way to end the summary of the podcast about one of his favorite movies." Then he thought how weird it was to do that.
