If you enjoy listening to two people who’ve become wayyyy too invested in fictional characters, then Literally Cinematic is for you. Each season, we take a book that inspired a film adaptation and break it down chapter by chapter, scene by scene. Along the way, we’ll discuss the characters, themes, hidden details, and surprising ways these stories still connect to modern life. Once we’ve finished the book, we’ll watch the movie adaptation and debate what worked? What was left out? And um …well was anything gained? And ultimately, we’ll attempt to answer one timeless question: Is the book always better than the movie? 📚🍿
