    Episode 23: The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King

    With The Return of the King we conclude The Lord of the Rings, and our time in Middle Earth!

They also explore The Lord of the Rings as a whole against Peter Jackson’s trilogy.

    Episode 22: The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers

    Jumping back into the wonders of Middle Earth, George and Lucy talk all about Tolkien’s Two Towers and how they compare in film vs books. From chronological mixups, missing characters and bromance to rival Twilight, picking between book and film has never been harder!

    Episode 21: The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring

    Lucy and George are back with the next leg of their journey through Middle Earth! For Episode 21, they look at the first instalment of J.R.R Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings with The Fellowship of the Ring. Join them as they dive into tonal and narrative differences, controversial cuts, and character performances all in an attempt to answer the question... Book or Film?

    Episode 20: The Hobbit

    For Episode 20, George and Lucy set off on an epic adventure, joining a wonderful hobbit called Bilbo Baggins and his company of dwarves through the misty mountains of Middle Earth! Diving into The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien and its film counterparts by Peter Jackson, this episode discusses the impact on the story and characters when adapting a children's book into 3 VERY LONG adult fantasy films, the introduction of new characters and the removal of fan favourites from page to screen alongside picking apart the epic fight sequences! Peter Jackson makes a fair few bold changes between page and screen so we're curious, what's better? Book or Film?

    Episode 19: The Kite Runner

    This episode includes discussion of rape, assault and suicide, please listen at your discretion. For Episode 19, George and Lucy delve into the beautifully crafted The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and compare it to its 2007 film adaptation to determine which is more worthy of your attention. Exploring how women are depicted in both book and film to the influence of the West in the depiction of an Afghanistan story, there is a lot to discuss in this tale before you can answer the question... Book or Film?

    Episode 18: Dune

    Possibly the biggest episode to date, for episode 18, Lucy and George dive into the sci-fi epic of DUNE, comparing the 1985 novel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 and 2024 film adaptations! Discussing brilliant casting (Duncan Idaho, we love you!), politics, religion, the phenomenal cinematography and of course, lots of worm discourse, they try to answer the question of which is better, book or film?

    Episode 17: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

    For Episode 17, Lucy and George look at the tragic but comedic high school tale Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, comparing the 2012 book to the film of not only the same name but the same writer! Discussing brilliant casting, patchwork styles and life after death, they try to answer the question of which is better, book or film?

    Episode 16: Inkheart

    Happy New Year! Lucy and George are kicking off 2024 by covering Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and its 2008 film adaptation starring Brendan Fraser! In this episode, Lucy and George dive into their disappointment in both the book and film's execution of what could have been an excellent plot, alongside exploring their likes and dislikes with the casting choices. Lucy and George disagree on whether the film's change to the ending is good or bad and discuss who they would want to read out of literature, if they had Mo's power! So, what's better, book or film?
