This week, Summer goes wall to wall with Childhood’s End interviews, pretty much loving every minute of them all.

First up, stars Charles Dance (“Karellen”) and Mike Vogel (“Ricky Stormgren”) talk about how they approached their roles and their appreciation for how important and beloved the original novel has been for fans for over 60 years, and the need to get things right.

Next, Summer talks with executive producer Matthew Graham (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Doctor Who) about what it took to write the adaptation of a true classic, one that for so long was believed to be impossible to adapt. He also talks about the changes that were made to some of the story points for both story continuity reasons, budget reasons and time reasons.

Summer would really love it if Syfy Channel released this on Blu-ray with extended scenes and deleted scenes restored (if they exist). And yes, listening to Sir Anthony Hopkins just reading the novel could be something a lot of people might be on board for.

Next, Noah and Daren review and discuss the new adaptation of Macbeth starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, and directed by Justin Kurzel.
