Chapter One, Scene One

Listen for free

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 FULL episodes every other Tuesday with new MINI episodes in the off weeks.

  • Three Bags Full/Sheep Detectives - The One That Is Not a Cozy Mystery
    Jun 23 2026

    This week we're discussing Three Bags Full and its adaptation, The Sheep Detectives.

    A dead shepherd. A flock of observant sheep. An Irish countryside full of secrets. On paper, it sounds like the book and movie should be telling the same story. In reality, they seem to have wandered into entirely different fields. One focuses on sheep philosophy and existential questions, while the other embraces mystery, adventure, and detective work. Which approach worked better? You'll have to listen to find out.

    ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT ⚠️

    Nothing is safe. We spoil the book, the movie, the ending, and probably someone's favorite character.

  • Mini Episode - Genre Series: The One With All The Genres
    Jun 16 2026

    This week we are starting a new mini-episode series - The Genre Series. We're kicking it off with a general discussion on genres and how convoluted it can get. Am I reader a thriller? What kind of thriller? Oh wait, there is romance too! But is it also Book Club fiction (Laura says that is not a thing)? Or Contemporary fiction? You see what we mean? Take a listen and let us know what you think!

  • Remarkably Bright Creatures - The One Where Marcellus is the Debate
    Jun 9 2026

    This week we're discussing the bestselling novel Remarkably Bright Creatures and its Netflix adaptation starring Sally Field.

    From a grieving widow and a missing son to an unexpectedly insightful octopus, we're diving into one of the most beloved books of the past few years. Did the adaptation capture the heart, humor, and emotional connections that made readers fall in love with the story? Or did something get lost between the page and the screen?
