I discovered this while looking for an explanation for the ending of the movie Eileen starring Anne Hathaway. Needless to say I am loving the other comparisons as well!
A wonderful walk through differences.

Really dope podcast. I'm not the biggest reader of books or words written on the back of Shampoo bottles. I LOVE movies and consume them frequently. Always a fan of alternate versions so I've found that it's pretty neat to hear how close the movies are to the source material. Especially from the ones I love. Lots of variety in genres here. Lots of interesting tidbits. If you've ever wondered "Hmm.. wonder what the book was like?" ... then this is the listen for ya!
Great Concept
