Jenn and Kayla get together weekly to share their opinions and perspectives on a variety of literary and media-related topics and themes.
That’s My Story and I’m Sticking to It
We’re back with another regular episode. For this entry, Jenn and Kayla reviewed L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and watched the 1938 classic starring Judy Garland. The Wizard of Oz was a widely popular novel at the turn of the century, and when the era of the technicolor film rolled around, the story was a prime choice to be told in bold colors. Generations of readers and viewers have returned to the story for its music, nostalgia, and artistic value. We offer opinions on basically all of those aspects!
We've been so excited to bring this episode to you guys. During the interim between the last season and this one, we had a long talk and agreed on something: we wanted to take the show in a new direction. As we have been working on the show and learning about podcasting, our vision has developed and flowered into what we think is now the best version of the show yet. "That's My Story and I'm Sticking to It" is back and way better than ever. Jenn and I are taking a more in-depth view of our books, and we're beginning with the Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. We've both read this series in the past, loved it and decided each book was worth a dedicated review. We've both wanted to tackle some top YA series for a while, and what better place to start than here? This series was the first one I read after I moved back to Florida and it just happened that Jenn and I decided to read it at the same time, which is one of the many reasons this episode is so special to us. We hope you enjoy our review of Shadow and Bone, and be on the look out for the book 2 review soon.Thanks guys!Kayla
