Guardians of Ga'Hoole ft. Ga'Hooligans [Crosspost]

PB and CJ went on Unnatural Selection to talk about the film adaptation of their favorite books! What did Zack Snyder do to our beautiful little owls? Just how beautiful is that feather animation? And what do we think of the movie's treatment of Kludd?

Content warnings for The Capture, The Journey, and The Rescue include: cult programming and deprogramming, white supremacy, fascism, child slavery, cannibalism, graphic depictions of owl feeding and digestion functions, PTSD nightmares, a lot of owl deaths, attempted fratricide, successful parricide, owl swears, and a weirdly racialized way of handling a real dynamic between owls and snakes.

Make sure to check out the rest of Unnatural Selection to hear about more adaptations, from Annihilation to The Book of Exodus. You can follow the show on Twitter @UnselectPod and its host Emma @ematsca. The music for the show is by Jake Loranger. You can find more of his work at amaranthine.bandcamp.com
