My aunt said to read the book before the movie club meets, but I think it's better after.
Our club read 'Project Hail Mary' and watched the film adaptation. My aunt, a member for years, insisted I finish the novel first to 'get the full story.' I did, and honestly, it made the movie feel like a rushed highlight reel. Another friend watched the film cold and loved discovering the plot twists visually, then enjoyed the book's deeper details. Which way actually leads to a better discussion? I'm curious what your groups do.

My book club tried both ways last year.

That's a cool experiment by @river_gonzalez66. Did you notice if the mood of the meetings changed based on the format? Like, was one way more about arguing over meanings and the other more about sharing personal stories? That social vibe gets overlooked sometimes.
