Chapter One: Take Two
Welcome to Chapter One: Take Two with Maddy and Bri. We read the book, watch the film and discuss the adaptation, recorded all the way from middle-earth (aka Aotearoa, New Zealand). We discuss how well, or not so well, a movie was made from the book it was based off, e.g. Twilight. If you love movies, books, and funny lesbians talking about movies and books, this is the podcast for you.
