677: Better Than The Book: Little Women (2019) Preview
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.
