🎬 Welcome back to We’re Too Literary! 🎬

Ever wondered what would happen if your favorite sarcastic robot got an unnecessary dance scene in a movie adaptation? So did we, and it turns out, it's just as awkward as it sounds! Join us for a rollicking discussion about the "Borderlands" movie adaptation, where Jonathan and Kenny dive into how the film missed the mark compared to its video game origins. From the lack of gore and swearing due to an ill-fated PG-13 rating change to the deviations from the true lore of the game, we're pulling no punches.

Jonathan and Kenny dissect everything—how the storyline clashed with fans' expectations, why Claptrap's antics left us cringing, and ways we think the movie could have truly captured the essence of "Borderlands." Prepare yourself for some fiery critiques, a deep dive into the character inconsistencies, and our irreverent humor sprinkled throughout.

Our conversations are filled with analysis and reimagining, which are crucial for offering our take on how the story unfolds. Thanks for tuning in and getting literary with us.
