Time for us to answer the age old question: Is the movie ever better than the book? Our current selves have a very different answer than we would have had 5 years ago.

0:00.0 | I'm Becca Freeman. |
0:19.6 | And I'm Olivia Mentor. |
0:21.0 | And today we are talking about book to screen adaptations and I actually cannot believe |
0:26.7 | that we have never talked about this in the history of the podcast. |
0:30.4 | That is shocking to me as well, but never a better time with the Daisy Jones of it all. |
0:36.6 | Never a better time and still five years into the podcast finding new tops. |
0:40.5 | Yeah. |
