UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION"If you're going to destroy my book, at least put Meryl Streep in it."It was another very close poll for our movie bonus episode this month, but the 2014 cinematic classic The Giver took the crown. It also took 97 minutes of our lives that we can never get back. Kellie and Daphne discuss the film's failure to launch, bizarre choices in adaptation, the confusing creative choices made to fit this into the 2010s YA dystopian film boom, the stock footage, and of course, the Taylor Swift of it all.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!
