17 OCT. 2025 · Book Vs. Movie: “He’s Just Not That Into You” The 2004 Liz Tuccillo & Greg Behrendt Book Vs the 2009 Jennifer Aniston FilmPicture it: the Sex and the City writer’s room. Writers Liz Tuccillo & Greg Behrendt overhear a female coworker asking for relationship advice (at work, but that’s another issue for another time) about guy she’s been seeing. After hearing a litany of red flags, Behrendt pipes up with, “He’s just not that into you.” And thus was born an empire. It’s the quip that became an episode on a hit HBO show that became a bestselling, Oprah-featured, self-help book that became a movie. Seems like many were into the “He’s Just Not That Into You” universe. But were we?
In our first episode back after losing our dear friend and co-host, Margo D, Margo P and special Guest Host, Sonia Mansfield of What a Creep have MUCH to say about how this has all held up, or not, over the last two decades. Have a listen to find out!In this episode, we discuss:
- The backstory of “the quip”
- The differences between the book and movie.
- The cast includes: Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Krist Kristofferson, and Justin Long

20 JUL. 2025 · Book Vs. Movie: “Goldfinger”
The 1959 Ian Fleming Novel Vs the 1964 Sean Connery Film
https://www.ianfleming.com/’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfinger_(film) (1959) and its 1964 film adaptation featuring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery present one of James Bond’s most iconic villains, but in very different styles. The novel is a gritty Cold War spy thriller, showcasing a vulnerable Bond who relies on his wits rather than gadgets. Goldfinger’s scheme centers on a traditional gold heist from Fort Knox, with Pussy Galore leading a lesbian criminal gang, creating a darker tone.
In contrast, the film, directed byhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Hamilton, turns the story into flashy pop entertainment. Goldfinger's plan involves irradiating gold with a dirty bomb, and Pussy is reimagined as a glamorous pilot who falls in love with Bond. Connery’s 007 is suave and nearly invincible, complete with a gadget-loaded Aston Martin DB5.Between the novel and the movie, which did the Margos like better? Have a listen to find out!
