The name of this podcast is The Book Club Was Better. We are a book club podcast, but we don't read the classics. We read the crap that's getting turned into movies. TBCWB releases podcast episodes weekly leading up to the release of a film adaptation of a book.
This week on TBCWB, we discuss Volumes 1 and 2 of Battle Angel Alita aka Gunnm by Yukito Kishiro! The film is scheduled to release on February 14, 2019. The Cast Off discusses Rosa Salazar as Alita and Christoph Waltz as Doctor Ido. The next assignment is Volumes 3 and 4.
Please join us in the discussion. It's so much more fun to be cynical jerks when there are other people around! Whether you are fanning our egos by agreeing with us or engaging everyone in a heated debate, we're better together.
