The Book Is Better
06/24/24 • 58 min
As we continue the SUMMER OF POTTER, our family of four dives into our thoughts on the most major differences between the second Harry Potter book and film.

S02E01 — The Devil Wears Prada
The Book Is Better
09/06/24 • 113 min
What do you get when you combine an early 2000s flick, a female empowerment (?) novel, Anne Hathaway, and Meryl Streep?
The answer: The Devil Wears Prada.
But how does the film compare to the original book that inspired it? We share all the gritty details!

S01E21 — Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
The Book Is Better
04/23/24 • 108 min
This is one of those episodes where we (poorly) contain our disdain for... Well, I guess you must listen to find out!
We chat about how we felt about Rick Riordan's middle-grade book and the film and new Disney+ show inspired by it. (We get #saucy, but it's all in good fun.)

S01E20 — Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
The Book Is Better
04/09/24 • 81 min
We're breaking from the norm today and discussing the film that's based, in one way or another, on maybe more books than any other movie in history! Join us as we review the 2023 D&D film and nerd out about races, classes, magical items, and more!
(Yes, Rebekah is a DM. No, she didn't use all of the right words when recording and she doesn't care that you're a rules lawyer. K?)
Let us know if you want to hear us do a one-shot!

S01E19 — Jaws
The Book Is Better
03/26/24 • 68 min
Jaws was one of the most successful debut novels in history, and its film successor literally invented the summer blockbuster. So... how does this classic adaptation hold up? Was the book the better work, despite the continued fame of the film?
As the book celebrates 50 years (we all threw up a little when we read that), the family discusses our thoughts on the incredible quality of the film after so many decades and why we, like Peter Benchley, were definitely rooting for the shark during our read.

S01E18 — Dune: Part Two
The Book Is Better
03/11/24 • 83 min
Dune: Part Two was, maybe, the cinematic event of 2024. We discuss our feelings about Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of the final half of Frank Herbert's book and (a little bit about) how it compares to the 1984 film adaptation.
Trivia question to consider before listening: Can you name the 5 Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning actors noted in the full cast list?

S02E02 — Gone Girl
The Book Is Better
10/01/24 • 115 min
Rebekah is the one who writes these summaries, and she's not a fan. Josiah is, though, so she will pretend this isn't just two hours of her ranting...
But seriously, unreliable narrators make for some of the most frustrating... and intriguing. What did we think of how Gone Girls book was adapted to film?
