Why the Book Wins

The Beguiled is a tense story of an injured man who is brought back to health by a group of women and girls. It has been adapted twice, once with Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page, then again with Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman. But does either film do the book justice?

This classic Roald Dahl children's book was adapted by Danny DeVito! The movie stays close to the book, but which one is best?

This great kids book by Louis Sachar was adapted into a movie starring Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver and Jon Voight! Sachar wrote the screenplay himself, so does that mean the movie stays faithful?

This underrated Stephen King book was adapted into a movie starring Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Even though we get great performances, there is something lacking and some changes made which cause me to not like the movie as much as the book.

Joe is a novel by Larry Brown that was adapted into a movie starring Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan. Everyone in this movie delivers an amazing, real performance. But are these performances enough to make me say the movie wins over the book?

This book is more of a horror story than the romance Andrew Lloyd Weber turned it into. Having said that, the musical is surprisingly close to the book! The Lon Chaney version stays true to the horror side of the story, but that movie has its own differences in regards to speeding up the story.

This memoir was adapted into a movie starring Woody Harrelson and Brie Larson. The movie is a faithful adaption, but it leaves some details out that are key in the book.

This Stephen King novel about a girl who has the ability to control fire has been adapted twice. Does either do the book justice? can John Carpenter and Zac Efron save the 2022 adaptation from being a disappointment? Is Drew Barrymore a bad child actor?? Check out this book vs movie to find out!

This Stephen King novella was made into a movie starring Johnny Depp, who was riding the high from his Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The movie makes a change that totally took me by surprise! But does this change make the story better or worse?***We recorded this episode a month ago, before the Deep/Heard trial had officially began. We mention it because talk of its approach was in the news, but it hadn't actually begun. It is coincidental that we are covering a Depp movie while he is in the middle of this trial***
