Where the Heart Is… and Where the Movie Went. In this episode of Paperback Flicks, best friends and co-hosts Rae and Ruth (two book-obsessed forty-somethings who still quote early-2000s movies like they're current events) dive into Billie Letts' beloved novel Where the Heart Is—and its 2000 film adaptation starring Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, and an extremely questionable Wal-Mart security protocol. Grab your snack of choice (preferably something you could plausibly steal from a Wal-Mart shelf), and settle in for a heartfelt, funny, and slightly chaotic book-to-movie deep dive—just the way Rae and Ruth like it.
