The Controversy Surrounding the Film Adaptation

Nancy and Sarah are here to talk about beauty and wonder and love and heartbreak, from a wave of Natives in film to a new twist on an old reality show. But first, they discuss the utter failure of media outlets covering the missile strike on a Gaza hospital, most likely a misfire from a Palestinian group that was initially reported as an Israeli rocket because, well, Hamas said so. We hope the journalistic fails of the past week prove a corrective, as there are grave consequences to misreporting when the situation is this hot.

Onto beauty and wonder! Namely the release of Killers of the Flower Moon, the three-plus-hour Scorsese adaption of David Grann’s 2017 book, which Sarah and Nancy saw on opening day. Discussed:

* How Scorsese changed the screenplay after meeting with Osage members

* The greatness of Leo and the luminosity of Lily

* We will not spoil the movie, but we will say: It has big twists!

* That time Charlton Heston played Geronimo, and other historical absurdities

* Why “The Bachelor” franchise is the hunger games of love

* Is “The Golden Bachelor” the most transgressive of the “Bachelor” shows?

* What films Sarah has still not seen, for god’s sake!?

Plus, a memoir on the Cultural Revolution, revisiting a journalism fraud - and Nancy and Sarah discover they have the same crush! Photo reveal in final episode note.
