On this week’s episode of the show we return to the world of literary adaptations, with Noah Baumbach’s White Noise, adapted from Don DeLillo’s novel of the same name – a favorite book of Stephen’s. We dive right into our experiences with Baumbach as a director, then discuss at length how his latest film functions on its own and as an adaptation of its source material. Stephen reads passages from the book to highlight his thoughts, we discuss what works and what doesn’t, Vaughn tries to figure out what defines Jack as a character, and more. Stick around as we continue to gear up for our most anticipated film of the year, Gran Turismo, answer more listener mail, and offer another set of recommendations from our recent discoveries.
