Hold onto your Old Tech because Brenna and Joe are on the run from London and the other Traction Cities as they tackle Phillip Reeves' 2001 novel Mortal Engines, as well as 2018's significantly less interesting film adaptation by Christian Rivers. The text has fascinating colonialist and caste implications that are mostly abandoned in the film, in favour of pretty CW-styled actors and a really bad hairpiece by Hugo Weaving's villain. Come for the discussion about the impressive visual rendering of Municipal Darwinism and stay for Joe's invention of a brand new Harry Potter pre-quel franchise.
Oh, also, this podcast is not dedicated exclusively to Robert Sheehan.
Plus, in the News segment: Brenna strongly recommends the Netflix series One Day At A Time, as well as Ben Filippe’s The Field Guide to the North American Teenager while Joe preps for the latest Canadian YA author interview with Tanaz Bhathena’s The Beauty Of The Moment.
