TPToA Podcast 212 – Chaos Walking

Chaos in name, Chaos in nature.
A book series that was purported to be unfilmable winds up being exactly that. Probably would have worked better as a long format series, but sadly now will take a while before anyone attempts it again.

Positive Thoughts
The concepts are interesting and have a lot of depth to be plumbed.
The Cast are a big name bunch and they are doing as good a job as they can.
Mads' pimp coat is a thing of great power.
Negative Self-talk
It feels shallow and fails to explore almost everything interesting in its premise.
Daisy's character is the single least developed part of the story and its quite insulting
There's some really unnecessary animal cruelty and violence in here that is gratuitous and gross.

AWESOME

This week we are exploring the inherent strangeness and discomfort of letting our innermost thoughts and feelings be seen and heard by the world, (I mean it’s not that weird is it? We do it every week!) as we check out Chaos Walking, the cinematic adaptation of The Knife of Never Letting Go;  the first book in Patrick Ness‘ highly acclaimed Y.A. trilogy Chaos Walking. The first book in the series came out in the same year as The Hunger Games (2008), so you could be forgiven if you might not have heard of it.

The boys; Dion and Quinny may not be able to shut up their noise, but thankfully Peta and Jill have no problems making their thoughts heard, loud and clear, on this film.

A huge shout out to our own collection of voices in our heads who manifest their words and ideas directly onto the live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST. An especially gargantuan thanks goes to any of you kind enough to support us by manifesting that dream cash into our jar via Ko-Fi! and now also subscribing on Twitch!

If you too like what we do, drop us a sub!  Every bit of your support helps us to (hopefully) keep entertaining you! 

Don’t fret if you can’t be there for the recording though as you can catch them on Youtube usually later that very night. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them!
