Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, we discuss the intricately psychedelic neo-noir INHERENT VICE by Thomas Pynchon, and Paul Thomas Anderson's 2014 film adaptation. We talk about the genre-bending approach to the story, the colorful cast of characters, and the bittersweet interpretations of the ending.
Hosts: Nicolò Grasso & Ewan Gleadow
Featuring: Jack Keating
