Sobre este título

Every book is a potential movie script — but when the adaptation hits the big screen, does it really capture the story? That’s where Offscript comes in. Each week, hosts Alli & Bri compare popular books with their movie adaptations, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and whether the film stayed true to the source material… or went off script.

From beloved classics to bestselling contemporary novels, we cover the biggest (and sometimes most surprising) page-to-screen adaptations. If you’ve ever wondered “Was the book better than the movie?” — this is the podcast for you.

Subscribe for weekly book vs movie breakdowns, lively debates, and a deep dive into the stories we can’t stop talking about — on the page and on the screen.

    Dec 15 2025

    Welcome to Offscript, the podcast where literature meets cinema. Each week, hosts Bri & Alli compare books to their movie adaptations — exploring what worked, what didn’t, and whether the book really was better than the movie. From timeless classics to today’s bestsellers, we break down characters, themes, and the creative choices that shape stories on page and screen.

    🎬 This Week on Offscript: The Running Man

    This week, Bri & Alli dive into the high-octane, dystopian adaptation of The Running Man — originally published under Stephen King’s pseudonym Richard Bachman and now reimagined on screen by director Edgar Wright.

    Story Summary:

    It’s 2025, and reality TV has escalated into deadly spectacle. Desperate for cash to treat his young daughter’s illness, Ben Richards volunteers for The Running Man, the most dangerous game show on the planet. His mission: stay alive and evade a team of elite Hunters for thirty days. The prize: a staggering one billion dollars.

    The twist? The entire world is watching — and every viewer is a potential informant eager to turn Richards in for a payout.
