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.

Hi and hey there, Neighbors! Welcome to another episode where Margo gives it up about her top-secret hair straightening technique in Queens; LBJ and Hannah Gatsby; and Erin reads the 10 Stages of Genocide. That seems on par, right? But to save the day, it’s a quick breakdown of Real Housewives of NYC & James Corden and Sir Paul McCartney’s Carpool Karaoke.
Book Vs Movie
“Catch Me If You Can“
The 1980 nonfiction (ish) book by Frank Abagnale & Stan Redding Vs the 2002 Steven Spielberg Film
The Margos go for the short con here and discuss all things Frank Abagnale, a man who between 16-21 years old was the most competent (and weirdly likable) fraud impersonating a pilot, lawyer, doctor, and teacher before finally getting caught by the FBI. He also cashed fraudulent checks around the U.S. and around the world to the tune of over $2 million.
Frank’s story is incredible and it makes for both a fun read and movie (though we do have a definite preference in this episode!)
The film ultimately adapted by Stephen Spielberg and filmed in over 100 locations in 54 days which is unheard of and adds to the pacing of the movie. But what changes were made to make Frank’s life seem more “movie-friendly?” Do they add value? What does Frank himself think of Catch Me if You Can? Find out in this episode!

Book Vs Movie (Replay)
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”
The Ransom Riggs book vs the Tim Burton film
The Margos delve into the world of fantasy in this episode discussing the Ranson Riggs’ Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children which spent 70 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2012 and spawned two sequels Hollow City and Library of Souls.
Normally Margo P. doesn’t go for the scary stuff but when her preteen told her this was her favorite book of all time and though she will never see the movie (she loathes adaptations–go figure!) she thought we should give it a go.
The book is a wonderful journey of a young man exploring his grandfather’s old photographs that lead him on an amazing journey on a Welsh Island. Does that sound boring? Believe us, it is a very funny and entertaining read with incredible vintage photos telling the story and a very funny & charming lead in the character of Jacob Portman.
So how does the Tim Burton movie stack up compared to the YA novel?
In this episode we discuss:
Outro Music: “Bedtime Stories” by Mike Higham & Matthew Margeson (Miss Peregrine soundtrack)

Book Vs Movie Podcast
“Call Me by Your Name“
The 2007 Andre Aciman novel Vs
the 2017 Luca Guadagnino Film
The Margos are feeling 80s and dreamy with this episode talking about Call Me by Your Name. The book came out in 2007 to quite a bit of acclaim for the American/Egyptian author Andre Aciman which tells the story of a 17-year-old Elio Perlman who meets and falls in love with 24-year-old Oliver during a stay in Italy in the summer of 1987.
Elio is open about his bisexuality and is immediately attracted to Oliver–to the point he can’t seem to focus on anything but their common Jewish ancestry and Oliver’s possible interest in him.
The film was adapted by Italian director Luca Guadagnino and the Margos compare and contrast between the book and movie.
So between the book and movie, which did the Margos like more? Click on the link below to find out.
