• Poor Things R2

  Send us a textHere comes Round 2 of the 2023 Oscar winning movie and 1992 novel, Poor Things. It’s the second round so there will be lots of spoilers so hopefully you read, watched, did both, neither or just decided to listen. This novel by Alasdair Gray and the movie starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo was quite a discussion. We went a little longer on this episode as DeeAnn got long winded (anticipation for the movie or maybe too much wine).   Join us as we talk all things about the story and the comparisons between the book vs movie.  Spoiler alert: the movie and the book have completely different endings and we will definitely let you know both.Thanks for listening and please subscribe!

• One For The Money by Janet Evanovich R1

  Send us a textAnother older but …gooder(???) story about a Jersey girl turned bounty hunter in this 1994 first novel in the series of many by Janet Evanovich.  Join us we discuss why the hugely successful series with protagonist Stephanie Plum and the subsequent move with Katherine Heigl, Debbie Reynolds, Jason O’Mara and John Lequizamo have such different outcomes.  Why is there over 30 books written in the successful book series but only one movie made?  Scott and DeeAnn are on the case. Listen to Round 1 for all things background and we will see you again in a couple of weeks for Round 2 for a deeper dive into this light-hearted, romantic, comedy set in Trenton, New Jersey.Thanks for listening and please subscribe!
