Send us a text The Chapter One Take Two team has some extra time on their hands these days. We have decided to spend some of this time working to entertain you and bring some laughs. Looking around our home we found many books that we have yet to read so set out to make a dent in our to-do list. Today's episode is The Time Machine, originally published in 1895 by H.G. Wells. We have covered both the 1960 and 2002 film adaptations and so have split the podcast episode into two parts, Part 1 is av...

Send us a text What to do when you can talk to animals? Go on a voyage of course. On this week's episode Briana and I discuss why films like this are re-made and how Hollywood may better spend their $200 million. This is the first feature film Robert Downey Jr. has done since the end of the Avengers era, interesting choice. We read The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting for this weeks adaptation review. The book was originally published in 1922 and is the second in the Doctor Dolittle se...

Send us a text "Beautiful Creatures is a 2013 American romantic gothic fantasy film based upon the 2009 novel of the same name by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl". - wiki We would not call it romantic per say, rather a hormone driven novel. For once though the film was better than the book. Don't agree? Have a listen and see if we can convince you. We discuss everything from sex to the hard and soft rules of magic in this episode. It turned out to be more of a commentary on social norms that we i...

Send us a text In this episode of Chapter One: Take Two we discuss the film Just Mercy which has been adapted from the book written by Bryan Stevenson in 2014. It follows Bryan's experiences as he represents prisoners who have otherwise been lost in the system. This is the first non-fiction book we have covered for the podcast and we are very humbled to bring more attention to the issues with the American justice system and justice systems as a whole. It is hard to hear about the suffering of ot...

Send us a text Join us and Bastian Balthazar Bux as we travel into The Neverending Story. In a way, we are already travelling together in the neverending story of life. On this adventure we discuss fun topics such as how The Neverending Story II has nearly nothing to do with the book, how much Michael Ende hated the first film and why if you haven't read the novel already, you really should. Briana and I enjoyed this book so much!!! It is another classic that, while it was apparently written for...

Send us a text We all wish we had super powers right? I don't know about you but I wish I could control an element. Well Percy Jackson can. He has the ability to breath under water and make large walls of water appear when he is near said water. Why you may ask? Because he is the son of a distant but somewhat caring father, Poseidon. In this episode of Chapter One: Take Two we read, watch and review Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians; The Sea of Monsters. It is the second book in a s...

Send us a text For Christmas, I received only one gift, a book that my mother put beneath my pillow. The book taught me how to recognise my faults, master my pride and anger, be content, brave, and selfless. It also taught me that I am strong, that my tenacity is something to be admired, and that through hard, passionate work, I can achieve my goals. This book was Little Women. Hear the podcast about this novel to 2019/ 2020 film adaptation. If you would like to donate to help support the Austra...

Send us a text When I was a kid my dad used to make me listen to podcasts every day. He would never listen to them, but he insisted it was important. I never really knew my mom because she disappeared when I was young. Then one day, I discovered that my dad had the ability to listen characters and hosts from podcasts into existence, but someone had to take their place. That's how my mom disappeared. I've created this podcast in the hopes that I might one day find and save her. Listen with me, ev...
