Read VS Watch
Hosts DeeAnn and Scott will be reviewing, comparing, discussing a book and its film adaption with an added twist….One host (likely DeeAnn) will only read the book and the other host (99% Scott) will only watch the movie. Why? To finally put to rest the ongoing debate on whether a book or the movie is better! It is inevitable, there will be spoilers.
