“Our Brains Are All Chris Hemsworths” ITF Read & Watch: Spiderhead (2010 story & 2022 film)

George Saunders’s short story, “Escape from Spiderhead," was a
tragicomic success worthy of The New Yorker, but did it
successfully make the leap to film? In episode 232, Luke &
James discuss director Joseph Kasinskis’s big month, George
Saunders's literary lineage, why we all have a little Chris
Hemsworth in our brains, and finally cast their vote on which was
better: the book or the movie!
