We are back again (so soon!) to discuss the film adaptation of one of our favorite books we've ever covered, Casey McQuiston's RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE, written and directed by Matthew Lopez for Amazon Studios! We talk casting, changes, adaptation choices, and so much more! Honestly, it was hard not to just sit here and gush, but we did our best to throw some critical analysis in there too. Stick around til the end where we may or may not drop hints about what might be coming next, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes! As always, a huge thanks to Djempirical for our fabulous theme music.
