  • 43: Books vs Movies

    We debate the age old topic, “are the books better than the movies”? In which ex-bookworm Georgie chides Geoff for not knowing that The Great Gatsby is a book, additionally we both argue over how long or short a chapter in a book is “allowed” to be  and we smoothly transition into an update about the mould in Geoff’s place.
