It's Christmas in July! Pulled from the wreckage of a wild 2022 is this final episode of The Christmas Carol series. God bless us, every frog.
It's still not yet Christmas! In another special edition of Read/Unread: A Christmas Carol Extravaganza, Nicole and Jackie are discussing Spirited. The most recent entry into ACCAC (A Christmas Carol Adaptation Canon), this musical comedy stars Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer. That's right -- it's a musical comedy! Opinions will fly like so many do-gooding ghosts on Christmas Eve.Next week: The Muppet Christmas Carol! God help us, everyone!
Another week, Another Carol for Another Christmas! In this edition of Jackie and Nicole Analyze So Many Christmas Carol Adaptations, They Might Explode, it's Rod Serling's very 1964 'adaptation' which 'stars' Peter Sellers. In the most political installment of this podcast yet, our hosts discuss such seasonal topics as isolationism, the UN, the early days of the Vietnam War, and The West Wing. Next week: Apple TV+'s Spirited!
It's a very hot Christmas with one of us coming in as a Scrooge and one of us coming in as a Tiny Tim for NBC's TV movie musical from 2004 starring Kelsey Grammer. Will hearts and minds be changed?
We're cool, we're hip, we do looser adaptations. Jackie and Nicole are back with another Christmas Carol installment and, honestly, they're a little Scroogier than they expected to be.
We're back with a holiday run of episodes! Pour yourself some wassail and steam up a pudding because we've got a Christmas goose's worth of adaptations for you, ya Scrooge.
Surprise! We're *still* in Westeros! The Good Queen threw our asses in the black cell for talking smack about her daddy but that can't stop these intrepid podcasters. Jackie and Nicole are talking all things HOTD on this fresh episode of Read/Unread. It's Matt Smith, female friendships and time jumps galore as Jackie ruins Nicole's day by telling her what GRRM actually wrote. Join us, won't you!
We're back in Westeros, baby! Jackie read the books, Nicole did not but both have OPINIONS (especially on Matt Smith). Is HOTD worthy of the GoT theme? Are Alicent and Rhaenyra the female friends we've always wanted? HOW OLD IS VISERYS!?! None of these questions answered and more in this week's Read/Unread.Join for a too-thorough analysis of the first five episodes of House of the Dragon. Fire & Blood as well as HOTD spoilers abound!
Netflix released a bonus episode so we did too! CONTENT WARNING: Just like the episode itself, this podcast contains discussion of assault.
Forgive some of our sound issues as we approach the end of Season One. Do we think the king of Dreams stuck the landing? How excited are we for the future? Will our final season ratings be what you expect?
Strap in because we have thoughts. Jackie wants to know if this Corinthian is always this hot, Nicole gets a bunch of stuff wrong, and you'll never guess what -- or where -- they hate the most.
It's time for Nicole's big gamble -- was she right to give this episode its own episode? Nicole scolds Jackie, they play a guessing game, and Jackie revises her one word answer.
This week Jackie and Nicole run the gamut between love and hate as they discuss two very different episodes of Netflix's The Sandman.
We're back with a double dreamy episode! Jackie makes Nicole yell (sorry to your eardrums), we have recommend cuts, we want more goo, and Jackie has an absolutely bonkers prescient request for a future episode.
The long awaited day has finally arrived and we're discussing the first episode of Netflix's The Sandman. Will years of expectations divide their viewing experiences? Jackie has questions Nicole can't really answer, Nicole struggles not to use the word "Endless" even though it's absolutely already been said on the show, and Jackie guesses some upcoming cast members.
If last episode was an amuse-bouche, we've got a full Sandman meal coming out of San Diego Comic Con. Nicole tries to keep her excitement in check without spoiling anything for Jackie and they discuss potential pitfalls in adapting a series from 1989.Read/Unread is a podcast for people who have read the books...and those who haven't. Nicole and Jackie are two friends, comedians, TV writers, and geeks who really like talking about books. And TV. When those books turn into TV? Well, that's this podcast.

They discuss Amazon's The Wheel of Time, Netflix's The Sandman and who knows what else! Subscribe and find out!
That first little taste of The Sandman is here, and we're gobbling it up. Listen as Nicole and Jackie unpack the first look and first trailer, plus share their background with the graphic novels. They dissect the creative team already onboard and wonder how much Neil Gaiman we're gonna get in this very Neil Gaiman show.Read/Unread is a podcast for people who have read the books...and those who haven't.

We're changing things up a bit! Don't worry, we will be back for Season 2 of Wheel of Time. But in the meantime...Welcome to Read/Unread, a podcast where we watch a TV adaptation and discuss. Just like Pod of Time, one of us has read the books, one hasn't. And for our next batch of episodes we're going to be watching THE SANDMAN! Nicole's a fan, Jackie is clueless, we're all pretty excited to be back.

Is Jackie still a book-loving, show-curmudgeon?And in a very special edition of Getting Randy, Jackie reveals that two characters currently on the board have sex in the books. Who are they?

*WARNING* THIS PODCAST CONTAINS BOOK AND SHOW SPOILERS. AND THIS EPISODE DESCRIPTION PROBABLY DOES TOO, TBQHIf we had to pick one word to describe this episode of Pod of Time (and we don't), it might be "satisfaction". Total delight and utter satisfaction. If you can't tell, Nicole and Jackie are very VERY into the romance introduced in this episode -- and just about everything else that "The Flame of Tar Valon" had to offer.Do they have opinions? Yes. Rewrites? Oh, of course. But this...this was a good one. We both got romance. Jackie got her world-building (in a bathhouse no less!) and Nicole got the reunion we were all hoping for. Plus, we add segments! Actual segments! Getting Randy is back along with Highs and Lows, Storyline Breakdown and even a Hot Take. If you're on the fence about downloading, get off the fence because this is a good one.

*WARNING* THIS PODCAST CONTAINS SHOW AND BOOK SPOILERSWe're over halfway through, how can this BE? Someone find us a Waygate and, as Coldplay so eloquently put it, "Take me back to the start!"Actually, don't because one of our esteemed hosts of us LOVED this episode. And one of them felt "fine" -- you can probably guess which opinion goes with which host. Listen as they fangirl over Zoe Robbins, male intimacy, talk ogiers, and weddings! Nicole makes some bold (and pretty sound) predictions while Jackie tries desperately not to spoiler-vomit everywhere. It's harder than it seems!

*WARNING* THIS SHOW CONTAINS BOOK AND SHOW SPOILERS Welcome to Nicole's favorite episode so far, The Dragon Reborn! We meet Logain (aka false Jesus), deposit some more Lan/Nynaeve moments in the bone bank, and analyze initial fan reactions to Episodes 1-3. Jackie dove into the bad part of Reddit to research and came up covered in bad opinion juice. Gross. But so fun to dissect. Give it a listen!And, speaking of listening...yeah, we had some technical difficulties on this one. The wheel just wasn't having it this week and wove some major issues on Jackie's end. Or perhaps a Darkfriend was skulking around, pulling on wires? We may never know!
