“The Hunger Games”
Part 1 of Suzanne Collins’ Trilogy Versus the Jennifer Lawrence Megahit Film
Book Vs. Movie 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.

Book Vs Movie Podcast Redo
“Jaws”
For all of you who have told us that “the book is always better the the movie,” get ready to eat crow!
The Book Vs. Movie podcast takes on (again!) the 1975 classic movie Jaws as well as the truly not-so-great 1974 novel from the otherwise very thoughtful author (and shark supporter) Peter Benchley. We covered this topic two years ago but our old ways of recording thing leaves quite a bit to be desired so we decided to take it on again. (Besides, who doesn’t love watching Jaws for the hundredth time?)
In this ep the Margos talk about Peter Benchley’s background, his inspiration for the novel, how Cosmopolitan magazine is responsible for it becoming a film and as much much gossip and behind-the-scenes trivia we can muster about the incredible Stephen Spielberg classic.
In this episode we discuss:
- Peter and his wife Wendy who years after Jaws came out, became advocates for sharks and the waters that harbor them.
- The trials and tribulations Spielberg went through to get his movie made.
- The tension between Richard Dreyfus and Robert Shaw
- How the summer blockbuster changed movies forever
- Inspired by Robert Shaw’s USS Indianapolis speech, an 11-year old boy named Hunter Scott began his own investigation of the disaster and exonerated the captain’s name (You can get his book Left For Dead at Amazon.)

Peter Benchley talks about regretting the demonization of sharks
