Is the Book Better, Though? With Jake Martini
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 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.

Sorry this is long overdue, life got in the way a little bit.
Also sorry for the sound quality, someone didn't press record on the sound deck! That someone was me...
We had a lot of fun doing this and spoke for a couple of hours, we went off on about 50 more tangents that are in this episode.
Also, this podcast will be renamed 'Was the book better, though?' from next release and I will be comparing books to their movies and seeing which one is worth your time, should you watch Forrest Gump or read the book?
Suggest your ideas and who knows, I might do it. I already have 8 in the pipeline,
Much love to all who listen to this, I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
