Margo's Got Money Troubles season finale review — we break down every book-to-show change across episodes 5–8 of Apple TV+'s adaptation of Rufi Thorpe's novel. In this episode of Fully Booked, we cover: • Nick Offerman's performance as Jinx and why the Emmys need to pay attention • Elle Fanning's version of Margo vs. the book's Margo • Michelle Pfeiffer as Shyanne — the show's biggest character improvement • The custody battle, that wild courtroom scene, and how it compares to the novel • Nicole Kidman's Lace — a character that doesn't exist in the book • Kenny's CPS betrayal and what it sets up for Season 2 • The JB Easter egg and what it means for fans of the novel This is Part 2 of our coverage. Watch Part 1 first if you haven't already! The Performances That Carry This Adaptation Nick Offerman delivers what we're calling a career-best as Jinx; the methadone clinic scene alone is worth the price of admission, and his portrayal of addiction and relapse is devastating without ever feeling exploitative Elle Fanning brings a mix of naivety, intelligence, and tenacity to Margo that goes well beyond the page, making the character feel genuinely three-dimensional across all eight episodes Michelle Pfeiffer as Shyanne is a massive improvement over her book counterpart, bringing nuance and an arc of reluctant acceptance that the novel never offers Book vs. Show — The Major Differences In Rufi Thorpe's novel, Shyanne (Cheyenne in the show's pronunciation) is the one who calls CPS on Margo; the series gives this betrayal to Kenny (Greg Kinnear), adding a new dimension and a Season 2 storyline Nicole Kidman's character Lace does not exist in the book at all; a male lawyer fills a similar role but with far less narrative weight Susie (Thaddea Graham) is a more significant presence in the show than in Rufi Thorpe's novel, giving Margo an emotional anchor outside her family The show tones down Shyanne considerably; in the book she essentially cuts Margo off over the OnlyFans reveal and does not show up for the custody fight The Custody Battle and Courtroom Drama Mark (Michael Angarano) petitions for full custody despite not having primary custody of his other children, and the mediation scene highlights the age and power imbalance between him and 20-year-old Margo The judge scene is over the top (we acknowledge it) but serves the plot by showing Bodhi's attachment to Margo over Mark, and the ruling grants her full custody with Mark getting two weekends a month OnlyFans, Identity, and Margo's Creative Side Margo's "Hungry Ghost" alien persona is one of the show's best inventions, blending comedy with her genuine creativity as a writer The hosts discuss whether Margo actually qualifies as a "sex worker" given that she doesn't engage in sex acts with anyone; the show leaves this ambiguity productively unresolved The doxing subplot differs between book and show; in the novel it's deliberately done by the high school friend, while the show opts for a less personal but still harmful exposure at a party What Season 2 Needs to Address Kenny's CPS call and how it will affect his relationship with Shyanne and the wider family The "JB" Easter egg in the finale, teasing a character from Rufi Thorpe's book who becomes Margo's love interest The expansion of Margo's more explicit content and what that means for her trajectory Jinx's ongoing recovery and whether his relationship with Shyanne continues to develop Subscribe on your favorite platform!SpotifyApple PodcastAmazon MusiciHeart RadioPodchaserYoutubeDon't forget to follow us on socials too!InstagramThreadsTikTokBlueSkyFacebook Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Hero is a great film full of top-notch lessons. We follow Lee, an aged Western film star who has been riding the tail-end of his career for some time. With work only coming in the form of commercial voice-overs, Lee does not have much to look forward to. With a dire diagnosis, Lee starts to take inventory of his life, his situation, and what having a future really means. The cast ensemble is amazing. With Sam Elliott leading the charge, Laura Prepon, Kyrsten Ritter, and Nick Offerman join in for an incredible experience. Primary lesson in this episode is show don't tell. So much incredible voiceless acting, with strong direction and constant movement it makes for a great watch and something to aspire to in filmmaking and writing. Support the Podcast Visit our website
It's Apple TV+ this week on the podcast, as that's the last place on TV, or at least one of them, that's still taking big creative swings and also releasing episodes serially. Longtime contributor Omar Gallaga joins Neal Pollack this week to discuss two Apple+ shows. The first, Margot's Got Money Troubles, based on a novel by Rufi Thorpe, comes to us from David E. Kelley, who's been making TV for decades. But this show feels fresh and modern thanks to a winning lead performance from Elle Fanning and a nuanced look at the Only Fans universe. The cast, which includes Nick Offerman, Greg Kinnear, Nicole Kidman, and Marcia Gay Harden, is uniformly excellent, but Michelle Pfeiffer steals the show with a late-career master turn as Margot's mother, a performance so fully realized it doesn't even feel like she's acting.Much more stylized, but no less effective, is Widow's Bay, a new comedy-horror semi-anthology series from comedy writer Katie Dippold, which embraces and deconstructs horror tropes with unabashed delight. It's like the X-Files meets Northern Exposure, with a touch of Twin Peaks and Parks and Recreation. The cast includes Matthew Rhys, Kate O'Flynn, and Stephen Root, and a bevy of monsters and supernatural happenings that bedevils a cursed Massachusetts island. Four episodes in, and Widow's Bay is already a TV legend. Omar and Neal give it their highest recommendation, and no one has better taste than they do.Enjoy the show!
Darren and I discuss Euphoria's episode “Stand Still and See,” plus a few other shows and recent horror releases. We start with weather chatter and quick TV updates, including the latest Margot Has Many Trouble episode (Child Services investigation, custody threats, Nick Offerman and Greg Kinnear moments) and a recommendation for the horror film Obsession (from a YouTube filmmaker who made Milk and Cereal), along with Hokum and upcoming genre releases like Backrooms. We then break down Euphoria: Alamo's vivid, effective childhood prologue and how it frames his misogyny; Rue's heavy religious iconography (burning bush/Moses reference) and her church phone call with her mom; the DEA/Laurie/Alamo plot tightening around an ambulance-smuggling “one more run”; Cassie's funny, triggered audition improvisation and deleting her OnlyFans; Maddy's strip-club photo set and unease about Alamo; frustration with sidelined Nate and an unconvincing Rue/Jules romance. We speculate about the unusually long finale and want a Bishop backstory segment.

Will it be sad and funny, perhaps bittersweet but ultimately heartwarming? These things are all possible!

Is having a crush the secret to a happy relationship, or the gateway drug to a ruinous affair? We can’t agree. Meanwhile, comedian Nikki Glaser says that sexual cheating is a turn-on and emotional cheating is a no-no. Who’s right, who’s deluded, and who should just be single, according to Emily Vernem? Plus, enthusiasm for hobbies is at an-all time high, but why does it feel like men get all the good ones, while women get the leftovers of leisure? Holly Wainwright talks about her life-changing gardening habit, but acknowledges it’s first to go when life gets busy. So what’s an untouchable 'Sovereign Hobby', and how do we get one? And, there is an unofficial list of things women do to look like they have their shit together, and it involves everything from keeping whites white, to having enough coathangers, to knowing what stock is. Clare Stephens just wishes she could remember the snacks. TV RECCOS SPECIAL Clare’s watching: DTF St. Louis on HBO Max. A dark, nonlinear comedy about a love triangle, a dating app for married people, and David Harbour being incredibly likable. Holly’s watching: Riot Women on SBS. Created by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright, it’s a brilliant look at five middle-aged women who decide to form a punk band. Em’s watching: Margo’s Got Money Troubles on Apple TV. Starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman, it’s the story of a college dropout navigating new motherhood and mounting bills. SUBSCRIPTION GIVEAWAY: Win a $2,000 Bed Threads voucher.

Margo's Got Money Troubles is a novel that follows a young college student who starts a flirtation, and then affair, with a college professor who ends up getting her pregnant. Author Rufi Thorpe takes us through what happens next, as Margo decides to keep the baby and then joins OnlyFans in the earliest days of the site. The novel is now a TV show on AppleTV starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, and our friend at Death, Sex & Money, Nick Offerman, who plays Margo's father who's in recovery from opioid addiction after working as a professional wrestler. Rufi Thorpe joins Anna for a funny and personal conversation about how single motherhood and loving people in addiction recovery have both shaped her life. And the plot details about sex work? For that, Rufi had to become an Only Fans consumer herself and figure out how to convince some of its high-earning stars to tell her how they did it.Podcast production by Andrew DunnDeath, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!
