Join us as we discuss Shoeless Joe and the movie it inspired: Field of Dreams! We talk about how much we enjoyed this baseball movie despite neither of us being all that interested in baseball. Also, when fan fiction goes to a weird tacky place, Kaylia breaks the record for times the word “whatever” is muttered, and Jennifer provides us with some very interesting trivia about the film. Enjoy!

Join us for a discussion of the short story turned Ben Stiller movie where as we discuss product placement, the problems of “living in the moment,” how much magic is too much magic for a real movie, whether or not Todd should have been real, and the feminist themes in this male-centric “just do it” mid-life crisis movie.

The Book was Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The movie was The Secret of NIMH. The podcast is both and oh so much more. Join us for a conversation about the differences and the similarities, about altruism and cooperation, and about how our heroine is trolled by the patriarchy. And, yes, there's both a shout out to Star Trek and The L Word because Kaylia is that kind of queer nerd.

Plus a very special guest joins us at the end to give a kid's perspective.

Join us as we discuss Their Eyes Were Watching God, the made-for-TV-movie and the novel. Both the movie and the novel were unpopular at the times of their release. However, the novel made a comeback years later. Will the same be true for the movie? Probably not... but we are here to tell you all the good parts of this adaptation. Enjoy!

In this episode, we discuss Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
