38. Nomadland - a podcast by Lit to Lens

In the second episode of our "2021 Oscar Bait" season, the guys discuss "Nomadland".

The nonfiction book, written by Jessica Bruder and published in 2017, was adapted for the screen in 2020. The film, written and directed by Chloé Zhao, stars Frances McDormand and debuted at the Venice and Toronto Films Festivals in September 2020.

The conversation ranges from the book's shortcomings to the adaptation's key differences, which include the creation of Fern as a main character, the clever filmmaking from Chloé Zhao, the incredible cinematography, and whether or not the "cut-to-grilled-meat" editing technique was done on purpose.

Listen to the episode for yourself and let us know which you enjoyed more, the book or the movie.
