Book Vs Movie Podcast

“Frankenstein”

The Margos take on the wildest adaptation of the show’s history with the sublime Frankenstein compared to the frankly ridiculous Kenneth Branagh 1994 film.

The Margos get very gothic and silly sometimes trying to wrap their heads around Mary Shelley’s venerated classic novel with Henry V director Kenneth Branagh’s wildly acted and directed film. How crazy is this adaptation? How about a dance sequence between a zombie Helena Bonham Carter and Robert De Niro as “the monster?”

This film is completely cray-cray but the backstory of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the greatest tales of 19th Century literature and we definitely dive into her fascinating life story. Plus, all of the machinations that led to the publishing of her book in 1818 and the revisions in the 1831 version.

Also, in this episode we discuss:

• Fan theories about whether or not this is a feminist novel and writer Sady Doyle’s incredible fan theory about who the creature is based on!
• Kenneth Branagh’s  insane adaptation (and shirtless performance)
• The different actors who played the creature over the years.
• The incredible life of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and the inspirations for her book
• The "Year Without a Summer"
• How truly awful the score and screenplay are by some normally talented people.

“Rosemary’s Baby”

Special Podcast Guest Juliette Miranda and Margo D. Take a Close Look at the Classic Book and Movie

Margo D. (co-host of Book Vs. Movie) and Juliette Miranda of the Unwritable Rant podcast turn up the spookiness in this episode talking about the classic Ira Levin novel and the venerated film directed by Roman Polanski. It took a year to make this show happen but it’s now ready, enjoy!

In this episode we discuss:

• The incredible work of Ira Levin
• Mia Farrow’s incredible performance and offscreen troubles with husband Frank Sinatra (!)
• The near perfect direction by Roman Polanski and how he frames his shots.
• The weird rape scene featuring a rather unfortunate “hairy paw”  
• How strong (or weak) the character of Rosemary is at different times in the movie.
