In the first of our series on children's stories, we dive into the modern masterpiece Northern Lights, by Philip Pullman, and its less regarded 2000s film adaption, The Golden Compass. Religious authoritarianism, moral absolutism, gender hierarchies and talking polar bears are all up for discussion in this episode, as Grace and Niamh ask the question; is this really for kids?

Cinderella

A comedy podcast where comedian Grace Mulvey and pop culture obsessive Niamh King ask the question 'what makes a great adaptation?'In each episode we take a beloved book that has been made into a movie or show and do a deep dive into what the production got right (or very wrong). From banger soundtracks to dodgy casting, we get into what it takes to make The Jump from page to screen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
