Ep. 114 - Hillbilly Elegy (2020) with featured guest: Alex Stone

In this episode of The Strategic Whimsy Experiment, Jen and Sarah are joined by special guest, Alex, to review Hillbilly Elegy. They discuss the problematic nature of the characters and the difficult-to-follow style of storytelling in Ron Howard’s latest film. They also comment on the success of the book, the film’s departure from the source material, and speculate how this story could’ve been told in a more engaging way.
