It's book four of the series, and you know what that means! We've passed the halfway mark!

Is Goblet of Fire better in its book or film form? Which of the hosts thinks this is the weakest book of the series? Why did we spend so long arguing about whether or not Ludo Bagman was a genuinely pointless character?

Discover the answers to all these and more in this week's release for our Summer of Potter!

How did our family feel about the adaptation of the Voldemort-less Harry Potter book? The answer may surprise you...

We discuss our take on the introduction of the Marauders, our problems with the inconsistencies of time travel in the Potterverse, and our feelings about the directorial changes throughout the series. As always, we bring the spicy takes!

As we continue the SUMMER OF POTTER, our family of four dives into our thoughts on the most major differences between the second Harry Potter book and film.

All I'll say here is that not *everyone* is a big fan of Christopher Columbus...

Look, we keep trying to record an episode about Pitch Perfect, but if we're being honest, it's just SO hard to read... So we did this instead!

Listen to our very first episode reviewing some of the "best adaptations" lists online. We rant a bit, but it's (hopefully) all in good fun.

This universe now spans an incredible 10 movies... so how do the 1968 and 2001 films, roughly based on the classic French book by Pierre Boulle, line up?

We say 'roughly' because... let's just say they used the book as *inspiration* and not so much as *canon*. Spoiler alert: Josiah goes on some rants in this episode.

Spoiler alert: The Martian is (collectively) one of our favorites! Book, movie, whatever... we're obsessed.

Our family of 4 covers the major changes the filmmakers and writers made from book to movie, including which ones we liked best and the ones we thought were... meh.

This is one of those episodes where we (poorly) contain our disdain for... Well, I guess you must listen to find out!

We chat about how we felt about Rick Riordan's middle-grade book and the film and new Disney+ show inspired by it. (We get #saucy, but it's all in good fun.)
