Frank reviews the Fantastic 4 movie. We discuss why bad adaptations happen and break things down into literary works, comics and videogames.

An EW article discussing Josh Trank's tweet about the good film he had, insinuating that studio meddling caused the bad movie.

An io9 article categorizing Philip K. Dicks films from best to worst (according to the author). Gives a short review on each film.

Here's a EW slide show ranking the worst comic book adaptations.

Uwe Boll interview on Eurogamer.net from 9 years ago. I think the attitude is changed with the publishers from what Uwe Boll has to say here, but at the time he may have had a point. The gaming industry was a different environment back then as well.
