12 Best New TV & Film Podcasts You Need To Listen To
4. Popcorn Book Club
Are you the type of person who has to read the book before the film or TV show?
Hollywood has always been inspired by books, with big and silver screen adaptations of books constantly coming out. This trend is never-ending, with more adaptions on their way a group of authors decided to come together to form a book club dedicated to reading the book before the film.
Some books translate to screen better than others, and adaptations often divide opinion. Whether it is because they add or take away plot points and characters, or they just do not live up to the hype, these adaptations can let book readers down. On the other hand, these adaptations can get more people to read the original source, some of them even improve upon them.
From the same station as Fake Doctors, Real Friends comes Popcorn Book Club. A podcast hosted by Dana Schwartz, Jennifer Wright, Korama Danquah, Melissa Hunter, and Tien Tran. Each episode the group read the book and watch the screen adaptation, compare the two, and see how they translate.
