The Margos want you with us!
Now on to the episode:
Are you ready to learn a whole lot about Borderline Personality Disorder? You better damn well be because the Margos sure did after reading Girl Interrupted and man we just LOVE this book and movie discussion!
We start off talking about the recent Women’s Marches and then get right into the nitty-gritty of Susanna Kaysen’s (our author’s) interesting background and the history of the McLean Hosptial who past residents include Sylvia Plath, James Taylor, Ray Charles and David Foster Wallace. She stayed there between 1967-1968 and wrote this book in 1993.
Actress Winona Ryder (just 21 years old at the time) bought the movie rights and waited several years to see her passion project become the star vehicle for multi-award winner Angelina Jolie (oops!)
We read the book and then watched the movie. Which did the Margos like better? Listen below to find out!
In this episode the Margos discuss:

Hi ya, Neighbors! Thx for stopping by. We’ve loads to discuss, including RH of NYC & just what those crazy broads are up to in Colombia; Margo takes I FEEL PRETTY to task; both neighbors talk the Robin Williams doc and Killing Eve. And Margo favors us with a dramatic reading from Motley Crue’s THE DIRT. Can ya handle it?
Book Vs Movie
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit“
Wait, it was based on a book?
The Margos were shocked to find out that the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (directed by Robert Zemeckis) was based on a very dark book titled Who Censored Roger Rabbit by author Gary K. Wolf which meant, of course, we had to cover them both for our show. (Thanks to all of the members of our Facebook group for pointing us in this direction!)
The book was published in 1981 and is very different in both tone and attitude to the 1988 adaptation. In the “Censored” world–the characters are darker and meaner with totally different stakes than in the movie.
Disney, which produced the film, made some substantial changes in the look and with the characters featured making it much more kid-friendly (but still with some really scary in some scenes!)
So between the book and movie–which did the Margos like better? Check out the link below to find out!

Hey there & ho there, Neighbors! welcome, welcome to a new BNP! This week, Margo puts Don Felder, Ted Kennedy, and one rowdy one-year-old in her sights, while Erin talks about Arden Myrin’s recent article about women in comedy. And what’s an ep without some RONY talk—Ah, Sober Lu, we hardly knew ye! Margo also watched Chappaquiddick and A Quiet Place, while Erin saw the new HBO Robin Williams doc. A feast for your ears–belly up!
Book Vs Movie Podcast
“The Princess Bride” (Replay)
The Margos(once again) dissect the differences between the 1973 William Goldman novel from the 1987 cult classic film directed by Rob Reiner
Inconceivable! The Margos decided to redo (and replay!) a Book Vs. Movie podcast ep by taking on one more time (and even better) the book/movie The Princess Bride. We are always surprised to find that our listeners did not realize that the beloved classic movie was at one time a book. And that said book is very meta and multi-layered. Spoiler–we love BOTH of the versions of The Princess Bride and are so excited to be able to talk about it all once again!
In this episode we discuss:
Clips used:
The Princess Bride TV trailer
“Miracle Max” scene
Mandy Patinkin and Christopher Guest final battle
Vezinni and Iocane powder duel
Outro Music: “Storybook Love” by Mark Knopfler

Won’t you join us and be our neighbor?
Book Vs Movie
“Jurassic Park“
The 1990 nonfiction by the legendary author, director, and producer Michael Crichton
Vs the 1993 Steven Spielberg Blockbuster Film
Bring on the special, practical effects (with little CGI, please) because the Margos redo one of their more polarizing takes on a project created by two world-class geniuses–Michael Crichton and his good friend Steven Spielberg. Amazingly, Crichton came up with the original concept in the early 1980s and it took several drafts to create the novel that would be known as Jurassic Park.
At the time (1990) it was a publishing sensation, and Steven Spielberg was smart enough to grab the rights at $2 million. The film, which came out in June 1993, was a mega hit right from the start and it remains a cable TV staple to this day.
So between the book and movie–which did the Margos like better? Guys–it ain’t even close here. Check out the link below to hear our take on both.
