When the journey ahead is too big to comprehend, or you have more than one option available, what would happen if we took one step? In this episode, Petra talks to co-founder of the charity One Mother to Another and former 1News Europe correspondent, Joy Reid, about her journey with long Covid and learning to take one step at a time. In recent months, producer Sam has been wondering what it means to be a good treaty partner here in New Zealand. One step he took this year was to head to Waitangi for a week. Another step he took was to take a microphone with him to record a Waitangi diary for this episode. Haere mai!

Book Vs. Movie: Travels with My AuntThe 1969 Graham Greene Novel Vs. the 1972 Maggie Smith FilmThe Margos pack their suitcases for Graham Greene's Travels with My Aunt and 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 George Cukor and starring 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 GreeneMaggie Smith!!!!! The differences between the novel and the film. The Movie Cast: Maggie Smith (Augusta Bertram,) Alec McGowen (Henry Pulling,) Louis Gosset Jr. (Zachary Wordsworth,) Robert Stephens (Ercole Visconti,) Cindy Williams (Tooley,) Robert Flemyng (Achille Dambreuse,) Corinne Marchand (Louise) and Valerie White as Mme.

Book Vs. Movie: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (replay)The 1964 Ian Fleming Novel Vs. the 1968 Classic MovieBook vs. Movie: Chitty Chitty Bang BangThe Margos explore Ian Fleming's only children's story, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," published in October 1964, shortly after his death at 56. Written for his son Caspar, the story features characters inspired by Fleming's children and their friends, set against the backdrop of 1920s aero-engine racing carts. The tale follows Commander Caractacus Pott and his magical car, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," named for the sound it makes. The car embarks on various adventures in England and France, able to swim and fly while evading villains who kidnap children for robberies. Produced by Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, the film took liberties with the story and included music by the Sherman Brothers. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song and became a stage musical in 2002.So, which did we like more between the original story and the 1968 adaptation? Book Vs.

Book Vs. Movie: The Night of the HunterThe 1953 Novel Vs. the 1955 Classic MovieDavis Grubb's 1953 novel *The Night of the Hunter* and its 1955 film adaptation by Charles Laughton offer haunting interpretations of a sinister preacher, Harry Powell, and two children fleeing him. The novel delves deeper into Powell's twisted morality and religious fanaticism. At the same time, the film, featuring Robert Mitchum, presents him as a symbolic figure of evil with striking visual elements, including his "LOVE" and "HATE" tattoos. The book maintains a grounded, psychological tone, while the movie employs a surreal, expressionist style to illustrate the battle between good and evil. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:The creepy origin story of the book.Charles Laughton's excellent direction and why he never helmed a picture again. The differences between the novel and the 1955 film.

Book Vs. Movie: The FlyThe 1957 Short Story Vs. the 1986 MovieThe Margos feature The Fly this month with special guest Patrick Bromley, who hosts the excellent F This Movie podcast. The 1957 short story and the 1986 film share the core premise of a scientist merging with a fly during a teleportation experiment, but they have different approaches. George Langelaan's story focuses on the emotional and ethical fallout, depicting science as perilous when unchecked. David Cronenberg's adaptation emphasizes the grotesque consequences of scientific overreach, blending body horror with a profound sense of loss.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. Both versions are haunting, but Cronenberg's film expands the original premise into a deeply personal horror, highlighting the darker sides of human ambition.

Yet, as with many adaptations, the movie takes its path, offering a fresh perspective on the tale.

Book Vs. Movie: The Day the Earth Stood StillThe 1940 Short Story Vs. the 1951 AdaptationThe Day the Earth Stood Still is a classic sci-fi story. The iconic 1951 film was based on Harry Bates' short story "Farewell to the Master." 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 Klaatu 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, Gort, 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 storiesThe differences between the original short story and the 1951 adaptation. The Movie Cast: Michael Rennie (Klaatu,) Patricia Neal (Helen Benson,) Hugh Marlowe (Tom Stevens,) Sam Jaffe (Professor Barnhardt,) Billy Gray (Bobby Benson,) Frances Bavier (Mrs. Barley) and Lock Martin as Gort.

Book Vs. Movie: All Quiet On the Western FrontThe 1928 German Classic Novel Vs. the 2024 Netflix AdaptationThe Margos conclude "Banned Books Month" with Erich Maria Remarque's 1928 novel "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. The 2022 film adaptation, directed by Edward Berger, 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 RemarqueWhy is this work still controversial?The differences between the original book and the 2022 adaptation.

Book Vs. Movie: 1984The 1949 Classic Novel Vs. the 1984 AdaptationThe Margos continue their look at “Banned Books' in September with the novel 1984, which is set in a dystopian world dominated by a totalitarian regime that enforces complete obedience and constant surveillance. The protagonist, Winston Smith, works at the Ministry of Truth, altering historical records to fit the Party's narrative. He questions the Party's authority despite outward compliance and secretly documents his dissent. The story culminates in Winston's imprisonment and torture, leading to his ultimate betrayal and psychological manipulation.

Book Vs. Movie: Peyton PlaceThe 1956 Novel Vs. the 1957 MoviePeyton Place by Grace Metalious, published in 1956, became one of the most controversial books of its time due to its exploration of taboo topics like adultery, incest, and moral hypocrisy in a small New England town.
