60. Where The Crawdads Sing

What this episode covers

The guys discuss the adaptation of WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, and how the film compares to the worldwide sensation from author Delia Owens. — The conversation begins with the seemingly obvious reasons why this novel was adapted for the big screen, whether the book lived up to the hype or not, and if the storyline is even all that convincing (13:08). — Then we breakdown the differences of the film adaptation and whether those differences enhanced or diminished the story (50:34). — Other topics include the controversy surrounding the author’s connections to the murder of a poacher in Africa in the 1990’s, Daisy Edgar-Jones’ chops as a lead actress, and which state has the most linguistically diverse population in the US. — Our next adaptation will be THE GRAY MAN starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas and Billy Bob Thornton based on the eponymous novel by Mark Greaney. — We hope you enjoy and don’t be shy to let us know what you think at our socials below: Twitter: @littolens Instagram: @littolens
