2001: A Space Odyssey

Crazy Rich Asians

Where's Michael when you need him? Twice the technology goblins attacked, so my audio is a little rough (Josh's audio is fine), but it's still a good conversation and debate about how expectations can shape an adaptation's reception. I tried my hardest to clean it up, so I can remain proud of that. Join us for our discussion on Crazy Rich Asians, at 2018 film directed by Jon M. Chu, based on the 2013 novel Crazy Rich Asians, written by Kevin Kwan. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/peter-cavallo/spinning-around

Scooby Doo (2002)

Is there a more profound line in all of the English canon than "Dorky chicks like you turn me on too"? Jane Austen could never (or maybe she could). Join us as we discuss the 2002film Scooby Doo, written by James Gunn, based on the Scooby Doo franchise that began in 1969.

Pirates of the Caribbean

A pirate's life for me - except for the part where I don't like being wet. Or chased by skeletons, I guess. Join us as we set sail on the high seas, exploring the legendary treasure that is Pirates of the Caribbean, a 2003 film, based on a Disney theme park ride.

The Pride and Prejudice Card Game (Marrying Mr. Darcy)

Some may say this is a short episode, but it looks perfectly average to me. Join us for an episode of NewPodPlus. We are returning to the the world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice; this time we're exploring a somewhat strange adaptation. It's a card game called Marrying Mr. Darcy. The game was designed by Erika Svanoe, and Erik Evensen was in charge of the art and graphic design of the game.
