Fanbase Feature: THE BEACH 30th Anniversary Panel Discussion
Friday, 24 April, 2026

In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon is joined by special guests Corinna Bechko (writer - The Space Between, Avatar: Adapt or Die) and Dave Baxter (co-host – The Vintertainment Podcast) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding the Alex Garland novel, The Beach (1996), in light of the book's 30th anniversary, with topics including whether the novel is accurately described as Lord of the Flies for Gen X, how the story would need to change if set in current times, the illusion (or delusion) of the concept of "paradise," and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for The Beach abound in this panel discussion!)
