Leah and Kaylia attempt to separate their love of the book from their disappointment in the movie and discuss the very different stories the two are attempting to tell. We try to answer the important questions like… How do these two much-loved things actually connect to one another? How much slime is the right amount of slime? Who is this movie for? What happened to Sophie's sisters? Can you adapt an English fairy tale into a Japanese anime movie about a Middle Eastern war and set it somewhere in France? Should you? Plus Star Trek trivia! Enjoy!

In this very special Crossover Halloween Episode, Matt and Kaylia talk about the folklore that became the book, the book that became the movie: the Mothman Prophecies! We talk about what works and what doesn't, what the book/movie can tell us about US society in the 70s and early 2000s, and attempt to determine if the Mothman, the UFOs, the Men In Black, and the very scary Chapstick are worth our attention.

Kaylia and Heather discuss this small book turned Big Burton film and ask important questions like: Just how anti-feminist is this book? Are tall tales useful or detrimental? Do true friends help you rob a bank? Is it better to teach the giant to farm or to sell him to the circus? How historically accurate do we want our absurd stories to be?

Jennifer and Kaylia talk about the evils of privacy vs the evils of entitlement, the relative charm factor of Emma Watson, and how a book neither one of us loved still had some really cool provocative bits… that somehow got left out of the film.

Jennifer and Kaylia talk about Sherlock holmes… so many different versions of Sherlock Holmes! Cartoon versions, women versions, anime versions, futuristic versions…. Versions with cleft chins! Jennifer has a bone to pick with Moffat / Cumberbatch and Kaylia doesn't really “get” the fun of watching a smart jerk be a jerk. We hope you enjoy this supplemental episode!

Nuts! Leslie Knope! Our collective desire for gore and destruction! The fun of renaming bad guys after Pokemon! And the danger of judging something by its trailer (Black Snake Moan, anyone?).

Our fab foursome talks about terrorism, revolution, the disappointing lack of Nina, just how bad of a soldier/pawn Alina was (is?), the joyful return of Milo, and the teen angst overtones of Call Me Darkling and his poofy teenage hair.

Kaylia and Leah talk about this very popular coming-of-age story about a 35-year-old man. More than just one of the best book-to-film adaptations ever made (thanks to John Cusack), the book is a living symbol of the longevity (?) importance (?) symbolism (?) of Pop music. And yes, the book IS pop music. But more than that the story deals with the shifting gender politics of the 90s, the focus of the man in the rom-com genre, and let's not forget the music, the music, the music. Plus we gush about the amazing casting. Enjoy!

Most people do their yearly wrap of best/worst in December, but we think it is better to wait until January. And then to wait until after ALL the holidays.

For more information (including show notes and links to the episodes and books we discuss) visit www.kmmamedia.com

Aka Choking on the Darkness We talk about the cleavage-y spy powers of Nina, the complexities of power dynamics, the frustration of YA tropes (and bad dialogue), and how one chokes on darkness... (vastly different than choking on the Darkling/"Call Me Alexander") Plus... just how impressive is a mile? Enjoy!

Join Jennifer and Kaylia for a rousing discussion where we debate the following: the okay-ness of the pseudo nudity of Tom Holland, the casting of a black actor as a villain, whether the lack of talking animals in the movie was a travesty or a smart choice, and if the “secret of manhood twist” was a plot hole or layered writing on Ness' part. Plus Kaylia admits to lying to her daughter about the end of The Call of The Wild. Sorry, Ella!

In this very special Christmas Supplemental, Jennifer and Kaylia talk about the 2017 live television musical event: A Christmas Story LIVE. One of us loved this episode. One of us... not so much. We talk about nostalgia, the struggles of adaptations, how many of the characters were changed for the better, and how this production sidestepped one type of racism... but was it in favor of a different kind? Happy Holidays! More info at www.kmmamedia.com

Join Kaylia and Matthew for a deepish dive into The Big Sleep. They talk mystery vs noir vs detective genres, and how a depressing man against the world taking solace in his booze turned into a screwball rom-com less worried about the plot and more interested in showcasing a romantic happy ending story for its stars.

We discuss the rise of emojis as language, the complexity of the Beatty father figure, and how messed up it all is that birds are going to save humanity... somehow...

Join us for a conversation about white feminism, intersectionality, the frustration with sexist dress codes, and of course how all this affects the boys. Does this very earnest film go far enough to radicalize the next generation of feminists? Does Vivian actually learn anything? What exactly is going to happen to Mitchell and the scholarship money?

Kaylia and Jennifer talk about this Australian “gothic” novel turned Australian melodrama movie. We ask the burning questions: How many characters is too many characters? Does it count as LGBTQ representation when it’s a secret? Where is the church? How much tragedy can one dressmaker take? How do you fix this novel? Yes, we have answers to all of these and more. Happy listening! For more information including show notes visit www.kmmamedia.com

Kaylia and, special guest Claudya, discuss the book and movie: Like Water For Chocolate. Join us for a conversation about magical realism, the true tragic characters, the trouble with translations, the subversive feminist qualities, and the disappointment of Pedro. Plus, Kaylia continues her trend of not being able to pronounce anything properly. She’s working on it, and she’s sorry. All that plus a reminder that there is no hierarchy for what lights your fire, errr, matches. You do you! Show notes and more at www.kmmamedia.com

Kaylia and, special guest host, Leah talk about this YA novel turned movie. We discuss crappy parenting choices, crappy writing choices, and how charming Mille Bobby Brown is. Was Enola a Mary Sue, a perfect iteration of a young naive girl, a heroine worth rooting for, or maybe a bit of everything? We also discuss the gross misogyny of Sherlock, the villainess of Mycroft, and how the movie really, really, changed the tone, characters, scope, point, and overall EVERYTHING-ness of the book. Plus Kaylia can’t decide if the French words in this English world written by the American author should get the French, English, or American/Kaylia pronunciation. For more information, visit www.kmmamedia.com

Kaylia and her special guest (8 year old Ella) discuss the classic Charlotte’s Web, the classic 1973 Charlotte’s Web and then the 2006 Charlotte’s Web… is it also destined to be a classic? What changes from book to movie to movie worked? Which changes didn’t? Is it cool to talk about death so much in a kid’s book or is it ok because of the songs and cuteness? All this and more in our episode! For more information, including show notes, please visit www.kmmamedia.com

Jennifer and Kaylia revisit a book neither of them liked the first time around because they both love George Clooney and in his infinite wisdom, he has made a movie based on that book. Will they join the masses of people who love this book? Did the movie do it justice or make it better? Was there a transformational moment or just a lot of flashbacks? In the end… is this a beak bummer book and movie or is there something profound hidden in all the exposition and special effects? Listen to our discussion of Good Morning, Midnight / The Midnight Sky to find out. More information, including show notes found at www.kmmamedia.com

Jennifer and Kaylia discuss A Christmas Story. Does this classic movie transcend generational expectations of morality? Are there classic holiday movie moments about love and hope or is it just children in pain and the virtues of consumerism? Does it matter that Ralphie is kinda an a-hole to his friends? Who is the hero and why is it “the old man”? Do you need the book to put the movie in context or should it just be skipped? All these questions plus a lot of laughter as we look at this “boomer” movie through our Gen X eyes. More information including show notes and our merch store at www.kmmamedia.com

Kaylia and Jennifer solve the problems of the working poor not through religion or education but through stricter domestic violence laws and exposure to other cultures. No, not really. But wouldn’t that be nice? What we actually do is try to find the kernels of good stuff in the book and movie, bemoan the lack of Mamaw and Lindsey’s stories, and trumpet the awesomeness of Planned Parenthood.
