Your Weekend SMK is all Smooches: Movies That Are Actually Better Than The Book!

We camped out in the pages of three beloved works for this special series featuring The Wizard of Oz, Jurassic Park, and Bridget Jones’s Diary.

This collection is your reminder that sometimes pretentious readers get it wrong when they wear sweatshirts that say Don’t judge a book by its movie.

In these deep dives, we answered questions like:
* What Won and Lost The Movie?
* What is the Best Addition and Subtraction from the book?
* What is something only a Camera Could?
* What did The Author Think of the film?
* What is ONE thing the book does better? Plus, more.

And we did the same for Little Women (2019) in this Wednesday’s episode which you can snag in its entirety for only $3 on Patreon (if you’re not a Friends With Benefots).

Links in bio.

In this episode, we lay out the case for why the 2019 Little Women is better than the book it’s based on. Join us as we break down the casting choices that won the movie, the changes that somehow made a beloved story even better, and the moments that prove only a camera could do what prose simply cannot.

This episode is exclusive to our Friends with BeneFOTS tier on Patreon, where you’ll also get every episode ad-free, plus exclusive content and more. Join at knoxandjamie.com/signup, or purchase this episode on its own in our shop.

And if “the movie was better” is a hill you’re willing to die on, we’ve bundled even more evidence. Movies That Are Actually Better Than the Books features our deep dives on The Wizard of Oz, Jurassic Park, and Bridget Jones’s Diary.

In this episode of The More You Know, we recap this week’s pop culture news. Join us as we take a very scientific look at the celebrity stock market. From Aaron Rodgers’ latest podcast comments to Sydney Sweeney’s controversial new brand deal, and the Biebers’ uninspired interview, we’re sharing who’s worth buying into and who we’re selling. Plus, we discuss if Andrew Garfield’s upcoming films will be as big and in charge as his hair.

In this episode, we invite our listeners to share their Nos of Book Clubs. Join us as we discuss the merits of a benevolent booktatorship over book clubs that double as literary (or literal - you do you!) swingers’ clubs. Plus, Erin returns to prove once again that no amount of book knowledge can prepare you for Cameo Closest to the Pin.

We need your NOs of Book Clubs. 📚 It can be pet peeves, your own mishaps, stories of a meeting gone awry, awkwardness, weird snacks, funny hijinks ensuing.

These can be library, bookstore, friend group, coworkers, soccer moms, neighborhood dads, zooms, paid membership communities, or just a couple of folks chatting books.

Note: your comment and username may be used in an upcoming episode. DM to remain anonymous. BUT IT MUST BE A RIVETING TALE.
