  • Is “Forrest Gump” Still Apolitical Today? Was It Ever? (1994 Film) | Book vs Movie

    Is “Forrest Gump” Still Apolitical Today? Was It Ever? (1994 Film) | Book vs Movie
    2024/06/13

    The filmmakers behind the adaptation of Winston Groom’s novel all contend that Forrest Gump is “apolitical,” but watching it today puts that claim into serious question. Besides, was it ever really true? Join Luke Elliott & James Bailey in episode 314 as they discuss Tom Hanks running his way into American hearts with a more wholesome version of the character from the novel, what Jenny represents and how she is treated by the story, what Lt. Dan says about America’s conflicted feelings over the Vietnam War, and how the movie tries to evoke nostalgia without all the baggage of a truly complicated world. They finish off by casting their votes on which one’s better: the book or the movie?

    2024/05/02
    This just might be Walt Disney’s strangest adaptation, but that’s appropriate considering the source material with Lewis Carroll’s ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. In episode 310, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they take a tumble down a rabbit hole into Wonderland, eat some body altering mushrooms, get psychedelic with 70s counterculture & Jefferson Airplane, party with the Mad Hatter & March Hare at an un-birthday Party, and finish things off by voting on which version was ultimately better: the books or the movie!

    2024/04/25
