Is the Book Better?
Welcome to Is the Book Better, Though? — the podcast where stories go head-to-head on page and screen. Each episode, I compare books and their movie adaptations to decide once and for all which one does it better.
From Oscar winners to cult classics, I dig into what the book nailed, what the movie missed, and whether the film should have been made at all.
Expect witty commentary, honest opinions, and the occasional existential crisis over casting choices. If you love reading, movie nights, or just arguing about both, this is your new favourite podcast.
🎬📚 Join me every other week as we tackle everything from The Lord of the Rings to The Hunger Games — because sometimes Hollywood gets it right… and sometimes the book really is better.
