Mary and Julie invite improvisers, storytellers and friends to recount the plots of some of the most famous movies and TV shows. The twist? They’ve only ever seen the last 90 seconds. Listen as guests butcher the plots of some of the most beloved stories of all time.
Most of our favorite books have an insane plot twist that we never saw coming. So it makes total sense that in the last chapter of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone we get just that. You know the drill by now, right? Grab a drink, crack that book and listen on as Nate, Jade, James and Shantell dig extra deep into this weeks episode Chapter 17 The Man With Two Faces.
For the month of May, we are diving into the first 4 Harry Potter movies! With special guest and Harry Potter expert Dylan Walker, we dive into the first film of the franchise HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE (or Philosopher's Stone if you are a purist). We also discuss AVENGERS ENDGAME, and there are spoilers! Please send any and all feedback to anotherlookpod@gmail.com. Please check us out on Facebook/YouTube, and rate/review/subscribe on iTunes.
Penny, Meg & Brittany present week 1 of our Harry Potter re-read. We start by reminiscing about our first times discovering the magic of the series, and give a full review of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. Whether it be a parody, a theme park, or a retirement village (c'mon Go Fund Me!) we love all things HP! Spoilers, after all this time? Always.
Becky Kovach returns to the podcast to discuss Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Pull up a chair, chillin, and lend an ear. I am really excited. I have just found out that I am intimately involved in one of the worlds' biggest bad decisions. Now there are different levels of very bad decisions. If you are a very curvy young lady, taking accordion lessons would be a very bad decision. A different level bad decision was when the Japanese decided to bomb Pearl Harbor, although all our aircraft carriers were out to sea. That was a very bad decision. Taking a bite out of that apple was a bad decision on Adam's part. When the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth's contract to the Yankees, that was also a bad decision, as was the 1971 trade that brought Jim Fregosi to the Mets for a pitcher. A pitcher by the name of Nolan Ryan. Big Louie, his own bad self, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot says, "Giving another man the opportunity to make your woman smile is a very bad decision. Very bad." 12 publishers made the very bad decision to turn down "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone." Big bad decisions. NBC and CBS were the NFL's choices for the rights to Monday Night Football. They both declined. Bad, bad, bad decision. ABC really cleaned up on that one. M&Ms passed up Steven Speilberg's request to use their candy in his movie, "ET." Reese's Pieces grabbed the chance and their sales immediately increased by 65%. Not smart, M&Ms. Bad decision. Napoleon decided to invade Russia in the winter. Very, very bad decision. The Trojans decided to accept that big wooden horse the Greeks made for them as a present. Whoops. Columbus landed in the Indies, thought he was in India, and figured he'd drop in on the guys he thought were Indians. Bad mistake for Columbus, very bad decision by the Indians. And I just found out the other night that I was intimately involved in a decision that was at least comparable to some of these, big bad decisions. I am now, Big, Bad, Boo-Boo Daddy.
How does setting up rules help you build a world? In our most epic/longest episode yet, Chas and Stu tackle world building in films. Specifically, how the rules make something a world and not just a setting. Starting with world-centric genres like sci-fi and fantasy, we also cover horror, crime drama and - er - "other". We discuss a variety of techniques for setting up the rules of the world, including cold opens, voiceover, title cards and outsider characters! We've limited ourselves to the opening 3-5 pages... mostly... because (so the theory goes) they're the pages that teach the audience how to read/watch your story/film. Like with the character introductions episode, we cover a lot of scripts. In no particular order... [deep breath]... THE MATRIX, THE MATRIX RELOADED, MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, INCEPTION, GRAVITY, MINORITY REPORT, MOON, LOOPER, ELYSIUM, JURASSIC PARK, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE, MADAGASCAR, FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, PAN'S LABYRINTH, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, NIGHT WATCH, VAN HELSING, THE ONE I LOVE, 28 WEEKS LATER, WORLD WAR Z, DAWN OF THE DEAD, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, ZOMBIELAND, WOMAN IN BLACK, BRICK, ANIMAL KINGDOM, DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE, THE UNTOUCHABLES, GOODFELLAS, SHORT TERM 12, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, MOONRISE KINGDOM,THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL. Damn that was a lot! And we've probably missed some, too. So have a listen and please let us know!
