Adaptations Awry

Kristy's Great Idea, The Babysitters Club

This week we take a look at the first book in the massive catalogue of the Babysitters Club, and watch the new adaptation put out by Netflix. As always, thank you for listening to us ramble, if you enjoy listening to us talk you may enjoy our other podcast Tessa and Elliot Argue.

The Mistletoe Inn

We’re rounding out the month of December with another holiday book and movie. Did you know that there is a king of Christmas? I certainly didn’t, but this week we read the king of Christmas Richard Paul Evans’ The Mistletoe Inn, as well as the Hallmark movie of the same name. I hesitate to say adaptation, and as you listen you’ll find out why we feel that way. Like the show? Think about telling a friend, or leave a review. You can also find more of us on our Instagram page! As usual back in two weeks, once again focusing on our theme for the season, teen chapter books. In two weeks we’re taking a look at a Baby Sitters club book.

The Christmas Train, part two

We’re just in that giving spirit, coming back with a new episode, one week after last week! Who would have thought that we would find David Baldacci’s masterpiece The Christmas Train worthy of two episodes? Certainly not me. But here we are. Tom is halfway through his train journey from D.C. to L.A., and twists and turns are just around the corner. Have a comment for the show?

The Christmas Train, part one

Ho Ho Ho! It’s that time of year, and we are in the Christmas mood with this week’s book, The Christmas Train by David Baldacci. Come learn of Tom, who lets you know he used to be a war correspondent every chance he gets! Also this is a Hallmark movie, so now you know just exactly what you are in for. We also couldn’t contain this book and film to just one episode, so it’s a two parter, come back NEXT WEEK for the second half and see if Tom can find love, and solve the mystery.

Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase

If you’re listening on the day of release happy American Thanksgiving! I had all kinds of facts written down the first time I wrote this, but that was like 4 months ago, and since I had to reupload the episode I have forgotten them. I do recall that this is the only actual adaptation of an actual Nancy Drew book, and they’ve actually done it twice. Every other movie or show about Nancy Drew was original to that format, kinda crazy considering how many books there are. As always thank you for listening, catch up back in two weeks when we begin our Christmas episodes!
