The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Welcome to episode 9 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, we tackle The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson, and the 2011 movie version directed by David Fincher. Content Warning: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo features acts of violence and sexual abuse, especially against women, that are graphic and may be unsettling or inappropriate for some of our listeners. We also want to say we are a comedy podcast, and so while we are joking around today, we do take these topics very seriously. 

Time stamps, if you want to skip some of the more in-depth discussion: Book violence: 18:30 - 19:45. Movie violence: 34:00 - 36:25. 

You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB.

Purchase the book and/or movie at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.

Honorable Mentions

--Potential casting for the son of Anita: Any of the Hemsworths (they are all gorgeous with beautiful accents)

--Apparently you need to read/see these in order to appreciate this movie: the next two Stieg Larsson books and the Swedish versions of all three books

--British actor we think is in everything: Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in movies 3 - 8)

--A show that casts every British actor: Game of Thrones

--What this movie wants to be?: A James Bond movie with the those James Bond credits

--The obvious reference: the Swedish Chef from the Muppets

--A bold music choice: Enya's Orinoco Flow

--And the random goodies: Warlock, The Golden Child, Back to the Future Part II, The Chronicles of Riddick

--Corrections Corner: Because apparently Sam can't type and doesn't actually double-check her notes, the Alfred Hitchcock version of Rebecca was released in 1940, not 1948 as is stated in this episode
