The Orchid Thief/Adaptation

We open with royalty-free trailer music...
 
Billy is back writing another description for an episode of a podcast; this one is about Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief and its 2002 adaptation Adaptation. He's trying to figure out some jokes to add to the description but he has writer's block, so he's handing the keyboard off to his twin brother Hank. Listen to the podcast or whatever to find out if someone shoots someone, and there's dirty language, and maybe even a romance angle? Enjoy!
