The featured review on this episode has been long-anticipated by the Cream Team. Now that “Nomadland” has finally hit Hulu, we got the opportunity to watch and discuss the buzzy new film from writer/director Chloe Zhao. So where did we land on it? Should we just give the Academy Award to Frances McDormand now, or what? Hope you enjoy this one.

New year, same ol’ Cream Team.

Gobble gobble motherfudgers! Here in America it’s the time of year where we celebrate our white-washed historical account of colonization and genocide, so we can be thankful. Or something.
