Offscript

Offscript

Every book is a potential movie script — but when the adaptation hits the big screen, does it really capture the story? That’s where Offscript comes in. Each week, hosts Alli & Bri compare popular books with their movie adaptations, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and whether the film stayed true to the source material… or went off script. From beloved classics to bestselling contemporary novels, we cover the biggest (and sometimes most surprising) page-to-screen adaptations. If you’ve ever wondered “Was the book better than the movie?” — this is the podcast for you. Subscribe for weekly book vs movie breakdowns, lively debates, and a deep dive into the stories we can’t stop talking about — on the page and on the screen.
