Join us in this special bonus episode as we go through our thoughts on the 2007 film adaptation of The Golden Compass! This episode will contain spoilers for all of Northern Lights, so if you haven’t finished reading that book yet, meet us back here when you’re finished!

We re-watched the film for this special episode (we didn’t remember any of it before) and then had a chat about the Good, the Bad and the Odd…we even dust off the trophies and dole out some Cast and Creative Awards! After all, it’s bloody difficult stuff to make a film (we’d have no idea where to start), so credit where credit is due!

You can read more about the reception of The Golden Compass film around it’s release and the author’s general thoughts on the process in this interview with Philip Pullman from 2007.

You can read Chris Weitz’s first draft of the screenplay for the Golden Compass here.

Listen to Kate Bush’s song ‘Lyra’ here! Warning: it is a bit of an earworm…
