Wild Pork and Watercress (1986) / Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

Brenna and Joe close out our month of New Zealand programming with a look at Barry Crump's 1986 novel , as well as Taika Waititi's long-in-development adaptation from 2016. We're talking about how prolific Crump is, Waititi's humour, and the depiction of Māori youth across several texts. Plus: montages, survivalism, tanks, and justice for Aunt Bella!

Flight of the Albatross (1989)

New Zealand month enters its third week as Brenna and Joe tackle Deborah Savage's 1989 book . Despite being very readable, we're got some issues with the white saviour storyline and the use of Maori characters to further the protagonist's journey. Plus: Sarah's obsession with weight, bad mom Pauline, the German (!) film adaptation we can't screen, and bizarre 80s book covers. Wanna connect with the show?

Whale Rider

New Zealand month continues as we tackle our first Māori text with Witi Ihimaera's 1987 novel and Niki Caro's 2002 film adaptation. The book is short but beautiful, particularly the unusual "framing" device from a whale's perspective that provides an underlying religious element. The film plays more like a standard coming-of-age tale made for a broad (read: white) audience. It's still good, but the intention is surprisingly different considering the many 1-to-1 adaptation choices that were made. References: > Ed. Gonzalez.

The Catalogue of the Universe (1985)

New Zealand month begins with a classic text: Margaret Mahy's (1985). Brenna and Joe discuss the literary prose, the need (even in the 80s) to use romance to sell YA, and the divisive reader reactions to our dual protagonists. Plus: great families, a wild finale, and an overview of Mahy's prolific career...which weirdly never made a splash in North America. Wanna connect with the show?

We're discussing the characters we latched onto in each version, as well as the changes made in the adaptation and how that would change the next book/season. Plus: thoughts on the "twist" and "villain" reveal, the beautiful 25 year olds on the show, and its sheer Canadianess. Wanna connect with the show?

Dark Rise (2021)

Following recommendations from listeners Emma and Line, we're finally checking out C.S. Pacat's (2021). The magical fantasy text features a multiplicity of Chosen One protagonists, as well as tons of twists and turns. Could it have used a firmer hand in the editing and an abbreviated first part? Sure, but there's plenty to like here. Plus: abusive queer sexuality, (non)binary roles, and Brenna's surprising favourite character. Wanna connect with the show?

Orion and the Dark

We're skewing extremely young with our latest pick: Emma Yarlett's 2014 picture book , and Sean Charmatz's 2024 animated adaptation. The book is fun and cute, perfect for young ones who have anxiety or fears. The film is from a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman ( and ) so it has A LOT going on, including new characters, a focus on generational storytelling, and time loops. It's more of an exercise than an adaptation, which doesn't always make it successful! Wanna connect with the show?

Wonka (2023)

You've never had a movie like this before! Well...unless you've seen writer/director Paul King's films, which have a lot of shared DNA, including a silly role for Hugh Grant (delightfully slumming it). We're not surprised at the incredible success of the film, which is anchored by Timothée Chalamet and a deep bench of character actors. And though the film doesn't quite hang together and features some odd choices (fat suits?!), this secret musical is still a crowd-pleaser. Wanna connect with the show?

Artistotle and Dante Discover The Secrets of the Universe

It's finally time for Brenna and Joe to discover Benjamin Alire Sáenz's award-winning 2012 novel and Aitch Alberto's 2022 film adaptation. We're *huge* fans of the book, which has 2(!) sets of great parents and a beautiful, heartwarming queer friendship/romance. The film is solid, but it's missing nearly all of the parents' backstory and makes the queerness something more violent and scary. Basically what we're saying is: READ THE BOOK!

17 Again (2009)

Brenna wanted to remember Matthew Perry, so we're revisiting Burr Steers' (2009) starring Perry and Zac Efron. While some of this hasn't aged well, this time travel/body swap has a lot of heart and Efron's comedic chops are solid. While Joe could do with less Thomas Lennon, the sweet romance between Efron and Leslie Mann generates a lot of goodwill. Plus: slaps, incest jokes, tired geeks, and losing your house in divorce court. Wanna connect with the show?

Loveboat Taipei / Love in Taipei

Brenna and Joe kick off 2024 with Abigail Hing Wen's fantastic 2020 book ...and Arvin Chen's extremely generic 2023 film adaptation, . The book is rich, readable and filled with complicated characters which only makes the film, bland even by YA rom-com standards, even more of a disappointment. Plus: class critiques, challenging female friendships, sexual mistakes, street food and our surprise that - despite its standalone story - the book is actually the first in a trilogy!

The Shamer's Daughter

Thanks to listener Charlotte, we're checking out book one in Lene Kaaberbøl's , as well its 2015 film adaptation by Kenneth Kainz. This medieval fantasy novel has a fantastic protagonist, strong female friendships, and complex moral stakes. The film is less memorable: it is a little too grey and happy to forego politics for explosions, but it does keep the book's dark ending. Plus: why Brenna won't forgive the puritans who complain about the book's language. Wanna connect with the show?

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah

Brenna and Joe are working on our Mitzvahs as we discuss Fiona Rosenbloom's 2005 book and its 2023 Netflix adaptation by Sammi Cohen. While both texts are relatively slight, we found these quite enjoyable. The book's conflict is a little manufactured and the Judaism lessons can be a little after school special, but we're big fans of Stacy's relationship with younger brother Arthur. The film, meanwhile, features the whole Sandler clan, but Sunny and Sadie are great comedic actresses and there's so much musicality here that we're willing to forgive how -ish this feels.

While Joe struggles with the transition from Part 2 to 3, Brenna is unconvinced by lead actor Tom Blyth or the romance between Snow and Lucy Gray. We do, however, have plenty of praise for Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer and Jason Schwartzman, as well as the costume design and the politics of the dystopia.
