In which the Monsters join me in reviewing PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998) which is currently streaming on HBO Max. Based on the novel by Alice Hoffman and directed by Griffin Dunne, the screenplay credits for the film go to Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman and Adam Brooks. The film follows the Owens Sisters, Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman), who lose both their parents as a result of a centuries old family curse. They come to live with their kindly Aunts, Jet (Dianne Wiest) and Frances (Stockard Channing) on a small seaside island with some close-minded residents who aren't too keen on the witches in their midst. Time passes and Sally finds happiness in the form of Mike and they start a family. Gillian goes out into the world and goes through relationships until she meets Jimmy (Goran Visnjic) who soon shows himself to be a very scary gent. The Sisters get themselves in a bit of trouble and soon Gary (Aidan Quinn) shows up to find out what is going on and if the woman he's been searching for is actually Sally. The film has a run time of 1 h 44 m and is rated PG-13. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. This episode of the podcast goes out to the work family!

And later, award-winning writer and director Brenda Chapman discusses how female perspective, a love of art, and an understanding of flawed characters influenced her writing in the animated classics The Lion King, The Prince of Egypt, and Brave.   Characters are the emotional anchor for all great stories. No matter how intricate the plot, well-developed characters are crucial ingredients for engaging an audience and encouraging them to invest in a story's journey. I spoke with a group of veteran screenwriters about their process of crafting compelling characters at the Austin Film Festival. John Lee Hancock is a director, writer and producer most known for his work on The Blind Side, A Perfect World and his latest film The Little Things.

How can interweaving timelines elevate the emotional experience for the audience? In our final part, part 3, of our Interweaving Timelines series, we — Chas, Stu & Mel — take a deep dive into Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Little Women. In her adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's iconic novels, Greta chose to interweave the seperate timelines of Little Women and it's sequel, Good Wives, to create a thematically and emotionally potent work. This differs from all the other adaptations, which have chosen to keep the chronological storytelling of the source material. We compare Gerwig's choices and their resulting effects with Gilliam Armstrong & Robin Swicord's more faithful (and chronological) 1994 version. It's almost like a scientific experiment!

Matilda is a 1996 American family comedy fantasy film co-produced and directed by Danny DeVito from a screenplay written by Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord. Based on Roald Dahl's 1988 novel of the same name, the film stars Mara Wilson as the title character with DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Embeth Davidtz, and Pam Ferris in supporting roles. The film centers on a young genius girl named Matilda Wormwood, who develops psychokinetic abilities and uses them to deal with her disreputable family and Agatha Trunchbull, the ruthless, oppressive and tyrannical Principal of Crunchem Hall Elementary School - Wiki.In this episode of Chapter One: Take Two Briana and Maddy discuss how meaningful books like Matilda are. It is so important that children are talked to about, what can be seen as, 'adult' issues because without this education children are unable to express themselves and what they may be experiencing. As many of you will know, both the book and film are also very fun and entertaining. Check out this week's episode to hear more about our thoughts.

We will be going into . deep dive about one of our favorite movies of the year, "LITTLE WOMEN (2019)".  Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life.  In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters—four young women each determined to live life on her own terms—is both timeless and timely.  Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.  Directed by Greta Gerwig. Screenplay by Greta Gerwig. Based on the Novel by Louisa May Alcott. Produced by Amy Pascal, Denise Di Novi and Robin Swicord. Executive Producers are Adam Merims, Evelyn O’Neill, Rachel O’Connor and Arnon Milchan. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel, with Chris Cooper and Meryl Streep.

On the eve of a brand new interpretation by Greta Gerwig, Brenna and Joe travel back 151 years to discuss Louisa May Alcott's defining American text Little Women, as well as Gillian Armstrong's 1994 adaptation and the excruciating 2018 modern take by Clare Niederpreum.Comparisons to Jane Austen abound as we try and identify the source of the text's popularity, which prospers in the first half and fumbles the second half by betraying its lead protagonist, Jo March. Up for discussion: May Alcott's erasure of the Civil War, how the heat between Winona Ryder's Jo and Christian Bale's Laurie actually harms the '94 adaptation and why someone needed to tell Sarah Davenport to stop yelling in the '18 version. Also: Brenna makes a very salient point about the depiction of armed forces in the modern version and how what is seen (or excluded) ties into readings of the political moment. Worth keeping in mind!In homework: Brenna introduces the Lumberjanes graphic novel "The Shape of Friendship" while Joe teases the premiere of Sex Education S2 on Jan 17, 2020.Want to connect with the show?

Elizabeth Currid-Halkett presents her latest book, Starstruck: The Business of Celebrity, at the 2011 Literary Luncheon hosted by the Friends of the USC Libraries in Doheny Memorial Library. Currid-Halkett, assistant professor at the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development, joins the ranks of other renowned authors who previously have spoken as part of the series, including Michael Cunningham, Robin D. G. Kelley, M.G. Lord, Lisa See, University Professor Kevin Starr, Robin Swicord, Ayelet Waldman and Essie Mae Washington. Published by Faber & Faber, Starstruck quantifies the business of fame by examining celebrity photographs taken by the Getty Images wire service from 2006 to 2007. The book also explores society's obsession with celebrity, explaining why society anoints some as stars but not others and detailing the business implications that entails. "Dr. Currid's work is an excellent example of SPPD's capacity to bridge theory and practice," said Jack H. Knott, the C. Erwin and Ione L. Piper Dean of SPPD. "Her book is both academically outstanding and relevant in the world at large. "We appreciate the enormous academic contributions she makes to our school and to our students, and are thrilled that her book is so successful." Starstruck has received wide coverage by more than 20 leading media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, New York Daily News, New York magazine, New York Post, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Philadelphia Examiner, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday UK, Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Salon, Fox News, KPPC, WNYC and Radio New Zealand. Paper magazine wrote: "Never before has so much statistical analysis been brought to bear on the likes of Britney Spears, Clint Eastwood and Lara Flynn Boyle and the subtle but meaningful differences between A-, B- and C-list celebrities." According to the Philadelphia Enquirer, "The author digs deep to highlight the real reasons why the public continues to tune in (or log on) to get the latest on celebrity happenings - even if it's just shots of Jennifer Anniston stopping off at Starbucks." Currid-Halkett also wrote several op-eds based on the content of Starstruck that appeared in the Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post and New York Daily News, among others. In her first book, The Warhol Economy, Currid-Halkett explored how New York's economy is driven by art and culture. She earned a Ph.D. in urban planning from Columbia University.
