Book Vs Movie Podcast

Book Vs. Movie is the podcast that ponders the question: "Which was better...the book or the movie?" We spoil away the details, uncover the plot points, discuss casting choices and shower with praise (or pummel with snark) as we see fit. Hosts are Margo P. (She's Nacho Mama's Blog) and Margo D. (Creator of Brooklyn Fit Chick.com) and we are not afraid to tell it like it is!Copyright Margo Porras Art Literary History & Criticism

    • Elizabeth Gilbert’s stellar career trajectory (and did she really plot to murder her girlfriend?)
    • The differences between the book and the movie
    • The short, short distance between New York City and South Amboy, New Jersey
