b"With me and my mother living in different countries it is not so often that we get to meet face to face and when we do we really try savor it. And of course these days one of our favorite thing is to do a podcast. While staying together in Finland we watched all kind of movies of which we took a couple as our subjects for the two next episodes.\\n\\nThe first one is Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are, which I have always held as an example on how to really do a good adaptation. We are joined by my long time partner Merel Gebruers to discuss the psychoanalytical nature of the source material and how they deepened the concepts for the movie. We also talk about the mixed reaction of the general audience upon release and how does it work as a children movie.\\n\\nSpoilers: We explain in the beginning the basic story structure of the book, which is basically 12 sentences, so we do spoil the story if you are concerned about that."
