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.

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. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho

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.

There are some bold questions in this episode, challenging ones. For example, does HAL watch everything in the ship? Also, there is a giant space baby.

Join us as we explore Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, that was developed in tandem with Arthur C. Clark's 1968 book of the same name.

Shrek is love, Shrek is life, but who was Shrek before he was an all-star? In this episode, we discuss the hit 2001 film Shrek (loosely) based on the 1990 children's book Shrek! by William Steig.

Here is the link that Josh discussed in this episode:

There's nothing like watching erotica with strangers in a theatre. Wuthering Heights (2026) is also nothing like the book. Well, not nothing; it certainly bears some resemblance, but it's like if the book were half-hidden in the dense fog of a remote English moor.

Join us as we discuss the hot and fresh (pun intended) 2026 Wuthering Heights movie, directed and written by Emeral Fennell, based on Emily Bronte's 1847 masterpiece Wuthering Heights.

Do not cite the podcast to me, Witch! I was there when it was recorded. Put on your giant fur coat and grab your Turkish delight to settle in for this wide-ranging discussion of C.S. Lewis's fairy tale turned theatrical sort-of-epic. Topics include the role of women in the book compared to the movie, Edmund's major character changes, and whether the movie tie-in video game is secretly an underrated classic.

New Year! New Pod Plus. Some creative works are so inspiring and wonderful that people keep adapting it. New Pod Plus is our way of exploring those many adaptations. We thought it best to start this new string of shorter episodes with something truly worthy of discussion and consideration. That's right, it's Tom & Jerry & The Wizard of Oz, an "interesting" rendition of The Wizard of Oz.

Experience the whacky whimsy as Tom and Jerry go toe-to-toe with the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorthy's there too, I guess.
