Book Vs Movie
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Replay)
The Story Behind the 2008 Novel & the 2018 Movie
Are you ready for a little 1940s weepy? The Margos sure are as they talk about the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society that was started by Mary Ann Shaffer who brought on her niece Annie Barrows to help her finish when she became ill. Shaffer spent some time fogged in at the airport on the island of Guernsey which is located by the English Channel.
After checking their local bookstore she found out the island was occupied by the Germans in World War 2 and she became obsessed with the idea of placing a historical fiction story based there. The novel is told in an epistolary format and features an array of intriguing characters who come together under terrible circumstances and create their own magical world.
Taking place in 1946, London-based writer Juliet Ashton is stymied on what to write after her last book was a disappointment in sales. After starting a correspondence with a group of book club members based in Guernsey she impulsively decides to visit the island and her life is upended by the power of love.
The film is from director Mike Newell and at the time of this recording, is streaming on Netflix.

Welcome to 2020, Neighbors! Hope you all had a very merry New Year so far. This week, we convene to discuss the usual Real Housewives mess, with the RHOD reunion & RHONJ, w/ the hair-pull heard ’round the turnpike. Erin gives a RHOA update & Margo talks Below Deck. We also have a couple of Hulu recs–a doc & a limited series; 2 podcast recs–1 reality, 1 true-crime; we also saw Little Women & the Hateful 8 & tell ya all about it. New Year, same neighbors!
Welcome to our last episode of 2019 & it’s a short but sweet one. We talk a little RHOC reunion, parts 2 & 3; Below Deck, & a few choice streaming picks. We also break down our last Fave Fives in music, movies, & happenings. Margo also has some exciting news for 2020. Hope you all had a great holiday. Here’s to a fantastic new year, Neighbors!
You’re killin’ us Bravo! So many shows, so many Housewives! So much misogyny! Between the entitled men on Below Deck to Vicki G’s superior attitude on RHOC, we don’t know which end is up! We talk our usual RHONJ & RHOD finale, as well as the 1st part of the RHOC reunion, which was EXPLOSIVE. We also welcome Eddie Murphy back to SNL, as well as breakdown the first part of our yearly “Fave Five,” with our book/podcast/TV shows for the year. Merry, merry, Neighbors!
Book Vs Movie
The Polar Express
The Margos take a wild ride into the classic 1985 children’s book and compare it to the 2004 Robert Zemeckis Film
It’s our last new episode of the year and we had to celebrate with one of our most requested titles ever–The Polar Express from author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg.
The book sold millions of copies since its 1985 release (one million by 1989 alone!) and it’s only 32 pages so we only have a few wonderful things to say about it. But what about the 2004 film starring Mr. Tom Hanks? We have feelings about this movie kids–and we want to know what YOU think in the comments below.
So between book & movie–which did we like better? Have a listen to find out!
