Listen "HE009 The Dark is Rising"
Episode Synopsis
I looked under chairs I looked under tables I'm tryin to find the key To fifty million fables They call me the seeker I been searchin low and high -- The Seeker, Pete Townshend Back to young adult lit we go, to 1973's The Dark is Rising, book two of the Susan Cooper series of the same name. As both our birthrights and contractual obligations mandate, we also cover the 2007 David L. Cunningham film based on that book, curiously retitled The Seeker. In this episode, follow us as we fumble around in the dark looking for a cohesive plot, motivated actions, or a rationale for the changes made during the adaptation process. Most of our time is spent like a man pulling a giant ace hair pick through the desert: with limited success. Still, we hope our exploration of the material is at least as informative and entertaining as always (because we like to keep the bar low).
