On this episode of Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast, Nate and Chris dive into Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel The Remains of the Day and its Oscar-nominated 1993 film adaptation starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. They explore how Ishiguro masterfully turns a seemingly mundane butler's journey into a gut-wrenching meditation on dignity, duty, emotional repression, and the pain of missed chances.

Chris shares why this is his most gifted and re-read book, including how a single Tom Waits song changed its ending. Nate breaks down why the film’s tone and structure didn't initially resonate with him and how the adaptation struggles (and sometimes succeeds) to translate Stevens’ interiority to the screen.

Expect thoughtful comparisons to Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, and even Murderbot, plus thoughts on Jurassic World: Rebirth and Denis Villeneuve taking on James Bond for Amazon.
