S2, Chapter 7: The Movie Was Better!

As readers, we are almost required to say "the book was better" any time we encounter a movie adaptation.  Here in the Book Snug, we are going out on a limb and saying that sometimes the movie is the better experience.  Take a listen to this episode to find out which movies surpass the books they're based on and the reasons why we think so.    Happy listening!
