About this listen

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.

  • A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket
    Mar 16 2026

    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: A Series of Unfortunate Events – The Reptile Room

    This week, Bri & Alli slither further into the gloomy, sharp-witted, and deliciously miserable world of the Baudelaire orphans in The Reptile Room. Based on the second book in Lemony Snicket’s darkly comic series, this chapter introduces one of the Baudelaires’ most hopeful guardians yet—along with another cleverly disguised dose of misfortune. Equal parts clever, theatrical, and delightfully dreadful, the story proves that happiness for the Baudelaires is always short-lived.

    📖 Story Summary

    The Baudelaire orphans are sent to live with their distant relative, Dr. Montgomery Montgomery, a cheerful herpetologist with a passion for reptiles. For the first time, the children feel safe and cared for—until Count Olaf reappears in disguise, determined once again to steal their fortune.

    ✍️ Author: Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler)

    🎥 Director(s): A revolving team of seven directors

    🖊️ Screenplay: Written by a team of six writers, with Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler) penning eleven episodes

    📚 Coming Up Next on Offscript: The Wide Window

    Next week, Bri & Alli are swept into another wave of misfortune with The Wide Window, the third installment in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. This time, the Baudelaires are sent to live with Aunt Josephine, whose overwhelming fear of nearly everything makes life by Lake Lachrymose as precarious as it is peculiar.

    Tune in as Bri & Alli discuss how this chapter blends absurd humor with genuine peril, featuring one of the series’ most nerve-wracking settings—and yet another cleverly disguised return of Count Olaf. As always, the Baudelaires’ search for safety proves heartbreakingly short-lived.
