Read VS Watch
Hosts DeeAnn and Scott will be reviewing, comparing, discussing a book and its film adaption with an added twist….One host (likely DeeAnn) will only read the book and the other host (99% Scott) will only watch the movie. Why? To finally put to rest the ongoing debate on whether a book or the movie is better! It is inevitable, there will be spoilers.

HELLO!!!
Where the hell have we been??? Busy with life but missing the luxury of reading and watching. Thought with summer this one would be appropriate, 1974 Peter Benchley classic and subsequent 1975 Steven Spielberg movie, Jaws. Just when you thought the beach was safe…it is well at least from the main character….listen to us and find out why.
We will post R2 in two weeks and are very much trying to...
Here comes Round 2 of the 2023 Oscar winning movie and 1992 novel, Poor Things. It’s the second round so there will be lots of spoilers so hopefully you read, watched, did both, neither or just decided to listen. This novel by Alasdair Gray and the movie starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo was quite a discussion. We went a little longer on this episode as DeeAnn got long winded (anticipati...
Hello Oscars! Thank you for the spotlight on some great movies that were inspired by books. For this episode we will be talking specifically, Poor Things. The Oscar winning 2023 film starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo was adapted from the 1992 Alasdair Gray novel.
Join us as we rushed to tell you how excited we are for this story, (that we did not even finish it before recording thi...
Ding Ding Ding, are you ready for Round 2? This is the 1994 first novel in the series of many by Janet Evanovich and the 2012 movie adaption starring Katherine Heigl, Debbie Reynolds, Jason O’Mara and John Luguizamo -just to name a few. DeeAnn and Scott try to solve the dilemma as to why there over thirty (30) books written in the successful book series but only one (1) movie made. We think we found the solution. Li...
Another older but …gooder(???) story about a Jersey girl turned bounty hunter in this 1994 first novel in the series of many by Janet Evanovich. Join us we discuss why the hugely successful series with protagonist Stephanie Plum and the subsequent move with Katherine Heigl, Debbie Reynolds, Jason O’Mara and John Lequizamo have such different outcomes. Why is there over 30 books written in the successful book series ...
Here we go again, we are going to keep this train wreck going by really plunging into the “nitty gritty” of VC Andrews’ first novel and most infamous 1979 story, Flowers in the Attic along with the 2014 screen version starring Heather Graham and Ellen Burstyn.
As we said for Round 1, this is a super sensationalized story about family dysfunction. If you do not want to hear about, child abuse, sexual assaul...
Oh boy, this is quite the episode. If you know nothing about VC Andrews and her first and most infamous 1979 story, Flowers in the Attic, this may not be the episode for you. Scott and DeeAnn dive into all things book as well as the 2014 screen version starring Heather Graham and Ellen Burstyn.
This is a very Over-theTop, sensationalized story about family dysfunction. If you do not want to hear about, ch...

Wait what, isn’t this a week early? Yes, our present to you. We will be pretty busy next week so we thought why not, it’s done why not share the info of the 2021 New York Times Best Selling Novel and 2023 Apple TV Series, The Last Thing He Told Me. To keep with our non-holiday material theme, this is not going to be a Holiday RomCom or Warm-Feel-Good story. We are doing a 180 with this mystery, drama, thriller.
It’s Round 2, so that means we are “spoiling-the-hell” out of The Da Vinci Code , the 2003 book by Dan Brown along with the 2006 movie directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks.
Round 2 is all things story, characters, as well as the Glove Rating and whether it’s a recommend to read the book, watch the move, do both, do neither or just listen to this podcast and call it a day.
Thanks for listening and pl...
Ready for the Holidays? Well we are not and so we thought we would do something very different (there are only so many holiday themed book/films) and talk about a good old adventure, action, mystery-themed story. We are visiting the 2003 book by Dan Brown along with the 2006 movie directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks.
It’s Round 1, so we will be talking all things about the author, director, acto...

Happy Halloween! What better way than talk about the OG, Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, masterpiece, classic and 1992 movie adaption by Francis Ford Coppola starring Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, and Gary Oldman.

Did you read it, watch it, both, neither? We’re fine with whatever, as long as you are ready for all things story and spoilers with Round 2 of The Devil Wears Prada.

So get ready for some heavier subject matter. Scott and DeeAnn talk more about Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness as well as the movie Apocalypse Now, starring Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Laurence Fishburne, and Robert Duvall.
Discussion on the themes of both stories. Do they compare? Differ? What does “civilized” actually mean? Join us, we give a little history, you may learn something, we did!
Thanks for lis...
Yes, we know we missed a week. But we had some “stuff” happen and time escaped us! Also, did not help our motivation with this selection, the uplifting, motivational, inspiring….(clearly not), 1899 novella Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and the 1979 Francis Ford Coppola movie Apocalypse Now.
We thought we had enough practice with prior episodes that we were ready to take on some heavier subject matter...

William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected.
