This week on So Many Sequels, Golden Oldies Month continues with John Ford's 1940 adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath.Josh, Garrett and David dig into the film's Dust Bowl-era Oklahoma roots, its connection to John Steinbeck's landmark novel, and why a movie released more than 80 years ago still feels uncomfortably current in 2026.We talk Henry Fonda's Tom Joad, Jane Darwell's Oscar-winning performance as Ma Joad, the film's depiction of poverty and displacement, and the way its story exposes systems that keep working people desperate, divided and disposable. We also get into Oklahoma's place in the story, the case for a modern remake, and why any new version better actually film in Oklahoma.It's a classic for a reason — and maybe a warning we still haven't fully listened to.Watch, listen and subscribe wherever you get podcasts.More at somanysequels.com and follow us on Instagram at @somanysequelspod.

This week's episode is dedicated entirely to the lengthy chapter 26 so we have a chance to discuss poor Casy's complicated arc and the Christ-like allusion in his demise and whether the novel present's Tom's killing of Casy's murderer as justified (and what justice is in this story).

Both the book and the movie The Grapes of Wrath are classics that portray a difficult period in American history. The story of the Joad family from Sallisaw, Oklahoma, caused some people to sympathize with the plight of migrant farmers while others saw it as a mischaracterization of reality. In this episode, Trait Thompson and Dr. Bob Blackburn discuss the history surrounding the circumstances depicted in the book and movie, their connection to Route 66, and the image they presented of Oklahomans. Their guest is film historian Elizabeth Anthony.

Is ma emerging as Steinbeck's new protagonist? Does the “grapes of wrath” chapter work? And what of the book's evolving view of religion? We discuss these and several topics on this week's episode. Happy listening! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit closereads.substack.com/subscribe

Does Casy redeem himself with his heroic action? Does this this book live too much in the realm of artifice? Does this book, like East of Eden, feature the idea of timshel and in what ways is his view of human nature different in this novel. Also: Tom as microcosm. These and many other topics are on this episode's rundown. Happy listening! This is a public episode.

In this episode I discuss 1 Kings 21 and Naboth's vineyard.

In the fourth episode of Season 12: On the Road, Kyle is joined for a one-on-one conversation with filmmaker Mario Ruiz to discuss the lyrical and poetic adaptation of John Steinbeck's bleak novel detailing the odyssey of the Joad family as the microcosm of the Dust Bowl experience of economic displacement and the commitment to family in John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath (1940). 

Is Steinbeck an American Dickens? Does this book have a villain/antagonist? What role do each of the tertiary characters play? And does Steinbeck take his particular use of symbolism too far? These are the sort of questions we're discussing on this week's show! Thanks for joining the conversation and happy listening! This is a public episode.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 10 is here! Oklahoma! And The Grapes Of Wrath Route 66 Journey Progress Update Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's progress on his Route 66 journey, focusing on Oklahoma where he is currently traveling. They noted that Oklahoma has done a good job preserving and promoting the historical route, with 429 miles of the bike route available and minimal interstate usage. Randy mentioned that Kansas will be his next stop, where he will cover only 13 miles of Route 66 across three towns. Route 66 and Technological Displacement Bubba and Randy discussed the historical context of Route 66 and its significance in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," where it was referred to as the "Mother Road." They explored how advancing technology in the 1930s displaced farmers in Oklahoma, leading many to migrate to California in search of work, only to face exploitation and wage disparities. The conversation drew parallels between this historical displacement and the current impact of AI on jobs, questioning how future technological advancements might affect employment and requiring society to adapt and evolve once again. Generational Work Ethics and Route 66 Randy and Bubba discussed differences in work ethic between generations, using the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" as an example of how people in the past handled challenges without complaining. They explored Route 66, highlighting stops like Sam's Town in Eric, Oklahoma, and discussing the town's connection to Roger Miller. The conversation also touched on Bonnie and Clyde's connection to the Red River and mentioned several movies associated with Route 66, including "Easy Rider" and "Cars." Route 66 Travel Plans Discussion Randy discussed his plans to travel Route 66 again starting in September from Chicago to Santa Monica, aiming to reach Seligman by late October for a centennial celebration and signing event. He noted the different perspectives of Route 66 depending on the direction of travel and wanted to capture more sights during this new journey. The conversation also included a discussion about Sears kit homes from the 1930s, with Beth providing information about how these homes were sold through catalogs and could cost between $600 for a small cottage to a few thousand dollars for larger models. Route 66 Trip Highlights Randy shared details about their Route 66 trip, highlighting visits to Elk City's museum with its historical road grader exhibit and the well-preserved town layout. They discussed getting lost in Clinton and missing some Route 66 attractions, including a neon arch and mini golf course. Randy also described Weatherford's Space City connection to astronaut Thomas P. Stafford and the newly added 30-foot astronaut statue, though they decided not to visit the Stafford Air and Space Museum during this trip. The conversation included a brief discussion about Apollo 10's role as a dress rehearsal for the moon landing, and Randy mentioned visiting Lucille's roadhouse in Weatherford. Route 66 Journey Updates Randy shared updates about their Route 66 journey, discussing notable towns and landmarks between Weatherford and Oklahoma City, including Bridgeport's Pony Bridge, El Reno's fried onion burger, and Bethany's Southern Nazarene University. They highlighted the challenges of navigating Oklahoma City's multiple route alignments and provided guidance on following historical Route 66 signs rather than bicycle routes for a more authentic experience. The discussion also touched on the repurposing of historic sites into new businesses and included a humorous exchange about Love's Travel Stops responding to a social media post. Route 66 Travel Updates Randy discussed his recent travels along Route 66, sharing experiences from Oklahoma and plans for future trips, including a potential return visit in the fall. He mentioned meeting new people and gathering suggestions for places to visit on his return journey. Randy also explained his use of Jim and Gemini for trip planning, while Beth continues to handle podcast-related tasks and provide road information during his travels. Travel Plans and National Parks Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming travel plans, including Randy's visit to Sam's rustic property and future plans to visit Alaska's national parks. They noted that their Facebook page, "placebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast," has grown to 32,000 followers. The conversation highlighted their original goal of visiting all 61 national parks, with Randy needing to complete 8 parks in Alaska, some of which require plane or boat transportation to access. Route 66 Travel Journey Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's Route 66 travel journey, where he's taking his time documenting the route with photos while staying in places like Cracker Barrel parking lots. Randy explained his approach of doing smaller sections of the route at a time, suggesting that listeners could start with a "there and back" trip in their own state as a test run. He noted that while taking his time allows him to see more, he's missing some experiences like neon signs at night and visiting restaurants, which he plans to address on his return trip westbound. Route 66 Business Strategy Planning Bubba and Randy discussed their sons' recent trip to Italy and compared their personalities to their own middle-child experiences. They then planned a business strategy for selling Route 66-themed postcards and calendars, deciding to create a Shopify store and potentially include Route 66 stamps as a special feature for the first 100 orders. They agreed to start the product line with car culture and hidden gem themes, and discussed the possibility of Randy traveling the Route 66 to sell wholesale products. SO. MANY. PHOTOS - Come join the conversation on Facebook with our 32,000 friends! https://www.facebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast Have a great idea for the guys?  Want to sponsor us?  Want us to sell something National Park or Route 66 related?

The Santa Barbara trip picks up the morning after their explosive healing circle with Jesse again dedicating his day to drinking, apparently leaning in to his "let the games begin" mentality. The omen of a broken party bus won't deter the group from making it to a wine tasting where Jesse asks Michelle to talk - but offers no apology for the billionaire rumor. As things erupt between them, Michelle spills grievances and accusations about their finances, along with shared issues of distrust and suspicion. Nia and Danny have to weather a storm of criticism for downplaying his drinking to keep up a perfect image. BONUS: Recap of the AftershowAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Sophia and Nick return for an historic episode to discuss the director with the most Oscar wins and the first to win consecutively: John Ford. Revered by many filmmakers throughout history and known for his Westerns, Ford blazed a trail that also showcased his Irish background, his actors- many of whom also won Oscars- and the fractured American Dream. They begin with a thorough history of his illustrious career before reviewing The Informer, the 1935 film for which he won his first Oscar. Even though he didn't win for Stagecoach four years later, he was successful the following year with The Grapes of Wrath (28:34). Steinbeck's classic novel created a perfect tapestry for his next directorial feat.

In our scrappy Tax Day episode, we get right down to it. We get into the anniversary of the publishing of "The Grapes of Wrath" and its significance on America and the American Left. We discuss how your tax dollars are subsidizing war profiteers like Lockheed Martin and keeping the war effort in Gaza going while paying for healthcare and public education in Israel. (Meanwhile America's masses are left to fend for themselves.) Scott also talks about a recent direct action at a Lockheed Martin facility in Sunnyvale, CA and the violence perpetrated by the company's employees when they were blocked from parking their cars in the company parking lot. We also discuss O.J. Simpson's legacy on race and politics in America, and NPR's "liberal bias" (and its discontents). All this and your weekly dose of radical history. -------------------------------------- Outro- "Hard to be Humble" by Mac Davis Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/UuQVgNP5) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
