Tomorrow, When The War Began
b'
Thanks to listener Miriam, we\'re tackling John Marsden\'s Tomorrow, When The War Began (1993), as well as its 2010 film adaptation by Stuart Beattie and the Brendan Maher-directed season of TV from 2016.
This massive Australian hit is highly teachable, though don\'t go looking for commentary on colonialism or political curiosity from its teenage protagonists. The film is a big budget action film that Joe prefers, while Brenna likes the direction and relationship between the kids in the TV series, even if both adaptations lean into uncomfortable racism in their depiction of the invading force. Yikes!
Plus: let no one doubt Brenna\'s commitment to podcasting because Brenna was on tornado watch when we recorded this episode (listen to the outtakes for proof!)
