About this listen

From the page to the screen, and every plot twist in between—Chapter One, Scene One is where books meet their movie and TV adaptations. Join hosts Michelle, Laura, and Katya as they read it, watch it, and (of course) judge it. In Part One, they dive into the book—exploring its characters, themes, and the story on the page. In Part Two, they break down the screen adaptation—analyzing casting, changes, and whether Hollywood got it right… or missed the mark. Expect witty banter, sharp opinions, and a little drama (the fun kind) as three friends bring their love of stories to life. Whether you’re a dedicated reader, a movie buff, or just someone who loves a good book-to-screen debate, this is your seat at the table. ✨ New episodes every other Tuesday.

    Welcome back and join us with our NEW FORMAT!!! Yep, that's right, we realized one thing with an episode for the book and one for the adaptation - we were often saying the same thing. BORING. So we upped our game and now will discuss both in one FABULOUS episode. You're welcome. The full episodes will be every other Tuesday, but don't you fret! Because we will have mini-episodes in between!!! We hope you love the changes because Michelle isn't changing it again and honestly she loves the easier editing.

    In this week's episode we discuss the Emily Henry book and movie adaptation of "People We Meet on Vacation". We join Alex and Poppy, their vacations and their many issues. Jump into the conversation with us and give us your thoughts. Are you Team Poppy, Team Alex or Team Go On Vacation?
