Time for us to answer the age old question: Is the movie ever better than the book? Our current selves have a very different answer than we would have had 5 years ago. 

 

We’re talking about our favorite and least favorite book to screen adaptations, and the adaptations we are excited for, featuring calls from listeners with their thoughts!
