Erasure/American Fiction

It's the first season finale! We really did it! In this episode we talk about problematic representation, estranged families, finding identity, the power of nuance, and how to make big changes to a story while still making a great adaptation. We dig into Benji's love for audio book readers with "gravelly voices" and Chris finally takes back his worst hot take of the past year. **This episode contains spoilers for Erasure and American Fiction**. Enjoy our season finale as we analyze both of these master works of art. See ya next season! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
