Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well. The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

Top 10 Modern Fantasy Series That Deserve Faithful Adaptations

What modern fantasy stories most deserve the big-screen (or small-screen) treatment?

In this episode, Jim counts down his Top 10 Modern Fantasy Series That Deserve Faithful, High-Quality Adaptations — from epic world-hopping sagas to gritty, character-driven tales of gods, rebels, and revolution. Zach is ALSO here for this one, commenting on his Dad’s picks — which ones does he agree on, which has Dad lost his mind on? Zach will then share the picks that his Dad completely whiffed over.

No cheap shortcuts. No tone-deaf “reimaginings.” We’re talking faithful, stunning adaptations of some of the best fantasy series published since 1990.

Which of these would YOU most want to see adapted? Drop your picks in the comments and join the conversation!
