The Book Club for Movie People

An idea that was overdue. Craig breaks down the book and movie versions with ease and affability. He hits all the high points and leads another fine podcast. This is a great podcast even if you haven't read the book in question as the breakdown might make you take a stab at it (or maybe not lol) Either way this podcast flows like a fine wine. More of this and less of everything else.

Great Concept

I love the idea for this show so much, a comparison of books and their movie adaptations. Craig is a great host and does a terrific job of moving you through the movie and the book. This is a must subscribe for film buffs.
