This week, Erica Richards is back to talk about the Oscar frontrunner, Nomadland. We discuss what works so well about this film, the documentary/narrative hybrid, and whether this film is or isn't for everyone. We also stan Chloe Zhao and Frances McDormand, and debate whether this film is one their PRs. In our 0.2 Section, Erica has a grab bag of recommendations and I think too hard about a movie with a superhero squirrel in it.
