Volume 6, Chapter 32: spiderwick chronicles
Brenna and Joe returned to the realm of fantasy in the first five books of Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black's The Spiderwick Chronicles, as well as the 2008 adaptation by Daniel Waters.
Opinions are divided on the success of Freddie Highmore playing the twins, but they both like Sarah Bolger's character Malorie and the use of fencing, and Brenna also likes CGI!
It also includes innocuous voice casting, the film's gruesome ending, and tidbits about Hollywood nepotism and privilege.
Read on to learn more about this week's episode from co-host Joe Lipsett.
After checking S01 percy jackson and the olympians Last week, Brenna and I decided to stay in Fantasy in anticipation of the new Roku series. The Spiderwick Chronicles.
The 2008 movie was actually much better than we expected. Twin Girlfriend 1/2 doesn't have much to do, but the action is pretty solid. As far as the book goes, it's definitely intermediate, but DiTerlizzi's illustrations are really charming and the various fairy creatures are evocative (albeit familiar). -JL
