In this episode of Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast, Nate and Chris are joined by Brett Shand to discuss Philip K. Dick's novelette 'Minority Report' and its film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Cruise.

They discuss the questions posed by Dick and how Spielberg followed suit -- a tred he's leaned into for his latest feature, 'Disclosure Day,' as well. Additionally, they discuss how this text and be both lofty and accessible at the same time -- and what exactly makes the movie endlessly rewatchable.

UP NEXT: Alex Haley's 'Roots: The Saga of an American Family'
