“The Hunger Games

Part 1 of Suzanne Collins’ Trilogy Vs. the Jennifer Lawrence Megahit Film

The Book Vs. Movie podcast finally takes on the Suzanne Collins’ classic 2008 novel The Hunger Games and compare it to the 2012 movie--both smash hits. We were a little scared to take this on as the trilogy as it has some very fervent fans. But the Margos are as fearless as a tribute from District 12 so we grab our bow & arrow and take aim at each work of art.

What are the differences between the two? Which did the Margos like better? Click the link below to find out.

In this episode we discuss:

• The popularity of the trilogy
• The casting of all of the leads
• How Suzanne Collins adapted her book to screen
• Why dystopian novels are all the rage
• Our favorite scenes from the book and how well the movie captured them.

“The Haunting of Hill House

The Margos take on a listener-suggested episode--The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and boy did we have fun with this gem of a novel and film! (Not the 1999 remake, however)

Jackson is by far one of the most intriguing authors we have covered and though she only lived to be 48 (spoiler alert) her work has inspired the greats including Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Richard Matheson and Joyce Carol Oates.

Jackson’s complicated life is discussed in this episode along with the influential film (titled The Haunting) directed by the much-admired Robert Wise. Book Vs Movie--which did we like better? Click on the link below to find out!

Main topics covered in this episode:

• The life story of Shirley Jackson and how her early (family friendly) work inspired moms all over the country--including peer Erma Bombeck.
• Why she chose to write about fun, family life and horror stories. (Thanks to a rather cold mother.)
• Her strained marriage which exasperated her health issues
• The leads of the 1963 movie including Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson and Russ Tamblyn.
• The spiral staircase scene and how it was achieved
• How the sexuality of the Theodora character is handled in both the book and film
• The divine wardrobe by Mary Quant
• The main differences between the 1959 novel and the 1963 film.

Clips Featured:

• The Haunting  trailer
• The “big” haunting scene with Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn.
• Russ Tamblyn explains how the staircase scene was created (and in real life, very safe.)
• Outro music from Humphrey Searle

“Bridget Jones’ Diary”

(A V.V. Good Replay of a V.V. Good Episode)

The Margos go way back to their 20-something youth to discuss the lovely and talented Renee Zellweger and her most celebrated role as Bridget Jones.

In this episode, we talk about author Helen Fielding's background and how her friendships influenced the book and the film. We compare and contrast between the 1997 novel (that began as a weekly column in The Guardian) and the 2001 film that also stars Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

In this ep we discuss:

• The story of Bridget Jones and how Helen Fielding created her (at first) anonymously produced work.
• The obsession with looks and weight that is mentioned throughout the novel.
• The awesomeness of all of the leads
• How much Margo P. loves the fight scene
• How little Margo D. likes the music choices
• The not so awesome sequels (Yikes!)

Clips Featured:

• Bridget Jones’ Diary  trailer
• Outro Music Ain’t No Mountain High Enough  by The Supremes
