11 NOV. 2024 · Book Vs. Movie: Travels with My Aunt
The 1969 Graham Greene Novel Vs. the 1972 Maggie Smith Film
The Margos pack their suitcases for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travels_with_My_Auntand its 1972 film adaptation. The story of Henry Pulling, a reserved Englishman, whose life changes when his eccentric Aunt Augusta leads him on an adventurous journey across Europe. Greene explores the novel's themes of self-discovery, rebellion, and unconventional relationships with his signature dark humor. Augusta’s vibrant, morally ambiguous character makes Henry question his life choices. The film, directed by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Cukor and starring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_Smith as Augusta, takes a lighter, comedic approach. Henry’s character becomes more of a comedic foil to Augusta, and the adaptation focuses less on Augusta’s complex past. While the movie brings energy and charm, fans of the book often feel it lacks Greene’s depth.
So, which did the Margos prefer? Listen to find out! In this ep, the Margos discuss:
- The work of Graham Greene
- Maggie Smith!!!!!
- The differences between the novel and the film.
- The Movie Cast: Maggie Smith (Augusta Bertram,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0566680/ (Henry Pulling,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001283/ (Zachary Wordsworth,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827137/ (Ercole Visconti,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0930286/ (Tooley,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0281866/ (Achille Dambreuse,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0545378/ (Louise) and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069404/characters/nm0925549.

The car embarks on various adventures in England and France, able to swim and fly while evading villains who kidnap children for robberies.

Langelaan's story explores guilt, tragedy, and the limits of science, while Cronenberg's film focuses on the horror of losing one's humanity physically and mentally.

7 OCT. 2024 · Book Vs. Movie: The Day the Earth Stood Still
The 1940 Short Story Vs. the 1951 Adaptation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Stillis a classic sci-fi story. The iconic 1951 film was based on https://www.amazon.com/Farewell-Master-Earth-Stood-Still/dp/1480247103" Both versions share a similar premise—an alien visitor and his robot arrive on Earth, but they diverge significantly in tone and message. In Bates' 1940 story, Klaatu and his robot Gnut arrive on Earth, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaatu_(The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still) is quickly killed. The focus then shifts to Gnut, who, in a twist ending, is revealed to be the true master, not Klaatu. This philosophical narrative explores the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of power, and intelligence beyond human understanding.
The film adapts the story into a Cold War parable. Klaatu, more of a Christ-like figure, comes with a warning: Earth must abandon violence and nuclear weapons or face destruction by an interplanetary alliance. His robot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gort_(The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still), serves as an enforcer of this message, not the master. The film delivers a clear moral about peace and diplomacy, reflecting the political fears of its time.
Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out.
In this ep, the Margos discuss:
- The settings for both stories
- The differences between the original short story and the 1951 adaptation.

30 SEP. 2024 · Book Vs. Movie: All Quiet On the Western Front
The 1928 German Classic Novel Vs. the 2024 Netflix Adaptation
The Margos conclude "Banned Books Month" with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Maria_Remarque’s 1928 novel "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front," a profound anti-war masterpiece that captures the emotional and psychological devastation of World War I from the perspective of young German soldiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front_(2022_film), directed by https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0074163/, reimagines the story for modern audiences, using intense visuals and dramatic storytelling to convey the horrors of war.
While the novel and the film share a common anti-war message, they approach it differently. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, they viewed Remarque’s novel as an insult to the German military and the nation. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi leadership condemned the book for promoting defeatism and portraying German soldiers as victims rather than heroic figures.
It didn’t align with the Nazi ideology of military pride and national superiority. The English translation of the book faced censorship in specific areas like Boston, where it was banned for obscenity, and customs officials in Chicago also seized some copies due to concerns about content. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:
- The life story of author Remarque
- Why is this work still controversial?
- The differences between the original book and the 2022 adaptation.
- The Movie Cast: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0436835/Paul Baumer,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3477129/ (“Kat,”) https://www.instagram.com/aaronhilmer/?hl=en (Ludwig,) https://www.instagram.com/moritzklauts/ (Franz,) https://www.talentrepublicagency.de/actors/adrian-gruenewald (Ludwig Behm,) https://www.instagram.com/edin__hasanovic/?hl=en (Tjaden Stackfleet,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0117709/ (Matthias Erzberger,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0598857/(General Ferdinand Foch,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0834479/ (General Friedrichs,) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2435705/ (Lt.

27 SEP. 2024 · Book Vs. Movie: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
(Replay ep for Dame Maggie Smith 1934-2024)
The Margos celebrate September with a series of “Back to School” episodes, starting with the 1961 classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prime_of_Miss_Jean_Brodie_(film) by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muriel_Spark. Brodie is a popular teacher at a girls' school in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1931.
Each year she picks a group of students to be an elite part of the “Brodie set”--under her tutelage learning mostly about the arts & beauty (and not science!)Brodie is single and considers herself at her “prime,” with two gentlemen vying for her affection.
Mr. Lloyd is a painter, a father of six, and a bit of a letch. Mr. Lowther is a kind person but a bit wishy-washy.
The competition for her attention and affection marks their relationships and is a game the girls enjoy watching.Turns out Brodie is a Fascist, which is her ultimate undoing. The complicated story about education and mentorship is an indictment of giving one person too much power over a young mind. The 1969 movie was not a massive hit at the time, but when https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1970, it went back into the theaters and became a classic.
