Today we welcome back our friend, writer and film critic Susannah Gruder. We absolutely loved our last chat with Susannah, and couldn't wait to have her back. Sue has selected two wonderful and complex films that both came out in 2020, “Nomadland”, a film based on the 2017 non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder. The film is written, produced, directed, and edited by Chloé Zhao, and stars Frances McDormand. It is a beautifully told story of a woman who lives houslessly after the death of her husband and the loss of her job and town. We also discuss “Shiva Baby”, the debut feature from Emma Seligman, And starring Rachel Sennott. Sennott plays Danielle, a soon to be college graduate, who attendants a shiva along with her family and some very unexpected guests. The film is all about the intersection of food and grief, and we really enjoyed both watching it, and unpacking it with Sue. We hope you enjoy the episode, and we definitely recommend checking out both these films.

The film is written, edited, produced, and directed by Chloé Zhao, awarded the Oscar for best director in 2021, and stars Frances McDormand (who is also a producer on the film) as a vandwelling working nomad who leaves her hometown after her husband dies and the sole industry closes down, to be "houseless" and travel around the United States. David Strathairn also stars in a supporting role. A number of real-life nomads appear as fictionalized versions of themselves, including Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells. Nomadland premiered on September 11, 2020, at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion. It also won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In this episode Mark talks about the 2020 Academy Award-winning American drama film "Nomadland" based upon the 2017 non-fiction book "Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-first Century" by Jessica Bruder. Written, edited, produced, and directed by Chloé Zhao, the film centres around the character of Fern (played by Frances McDormand), the recently-widowed, vandwelling nomad - who lost her job after the US Gypsum plant in Empire, Nevada, shut down, taking the entire community and ZIP Code with it - who travels across the United States of America seeking work as well as rendezvousing with other individuals who live the same nomadic lifestyle as she does - including real-life vandwellers such as Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells who play fictionalised versions of themselves. The film is an incredibly emotional, touching, and moving insight into the real lives of people who believe that no goodbye is final and instead is merely a "see you down the road. The film also stars David Straitham as Dave, who has feelings for Fern and who wants nothing more than to spend more time with her in a more stationary environment - however, Fern's gaze is always to the open road and the nomadic lifestyle that she loves and embraces. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

The Oscars are on the horizon and though it’s been a strange year for the movie industry, the race for the golden statue is nothing short of historic. Notably, there is not one but two women nominated for best director: Emerald Fennell, for “Promising Young Woman,” starring Carrie Mulligan, and Chloé Zhao for “Nomadland,” starring Frances McDormand. “Nomadland” was also written by Zhao who based her screenplay on the non-fictional book, “Nomadland: Surviving America in the 21st Century,” by journalist Jessica Bruder. Frances McDormand’s Fern — a fictionalized amalgam of people in Bruder’s book — is a woman living out of her van, traveling the country working seasonal jobs and meeting a community of like-minded itinerant Americans along the way. On this special bonus episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie gets to go behind the scenes of this extraordinary, beautiful and strangely prescient film in a roundtable discussion with the director Chloé Zhao as well as three producers, Peter Spears, Mollye Asher and Dan Janvey.

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast: If you love records like Joshua Tree, Wrecking Ball, and Time out of Mind you know my guest’s work. Daniel Lanois has an incredible resume. His work as a producer for U2, Peter Gabriel, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, the Neville Brothers, Robbie Robertson and Neil Young among many others led Rolling Stone Magazine to say, “His unmistakable fingerprints are all over an entire wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” Lanois has moved back to Canada and launched the brand new Maker Series imprint out of his Toronto-based recording studio. First up in the Maker Series is a solo record called Heavy Sun. A soulful, joyous album recorded in Los Angeles and Toronto that fuses classic gospel and modern electronics. He says the intent of the music is to “lift people’s spirits.” Then, we meet Jessica Bruder, author of the 2017 book “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century,” and Bob Wells, a real-life nomad and one of the stars of the Oscar nominated film “Nomadland.” Then, the man, the myth, the legend William Shatner. His career is so epic it spans generations. Some will remember him as the iconic Capt. James T Kirk of the USS Enterprise. Others know him as the veteran police sergeant in T. J. Hooker. Still others think of him as the host of the reality-based television series Rescue 911 or the "Big Giant Head" from 3rd Rock from the Sun or as attorney Denny Crane both in the final season of the legal drama The Practice and in its spinoff series Boston Legal. He’s an actor, an author a singer and now the star of Senior Moment a new rom com on VOD this week. The romantic comedy focuses on Shatner’s character Victor, a retired pilot whose life goes into a tailspin after he loses his driver’s license, but starts looking up when he finds love with a character played by Jean Smart.

Jessica Bruder discusses her book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-first Century and her trek from research to living and working with ‘workampers’—a growing subgroup of downwardly mobile older Americans. A story of both uplift and struggle.

FEATURING JESSICA BRUDER – Sunday night’s Golden Globes awards ceremony featured a big win for filmmaker Chloe Zhao who won Best Director and whose film Nomadland won Best Picture in the Drama category. The film is a sparsely shot and artistically fictionalized feature based on a non-fiction book of the same name by writer Jessica...

Filmmaker Philip Musey and Sportswriter Chase Thomas discuss Chloé Zhao's latest feature "Nomadland," based on the 2017 non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder.   

Filmmaker, Chloe Zhao Nomadland filmmaker Chloe Zhao is as "indie" as it gets, but she may not be able to hold onto that title much longer considering that she just finished directing the new Marvel film Eternals, due out in November 2021.  But for now let’s keep our attention on her indie cred and how she started turning heads in the film world.  We’ll start with her debut feature, Songs My Brothers Taught Me.  She wrote, directed and co-edited this one, as well as having co-produced it with Forest Whitaker.  The film was accepted and lauded at both the Sundance and Cannes film festivals. Her next film, The Rider, was also a highly acclaimed picture about a Lakota cowboy named Brady.  The film was made with non-professional actors on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  Although this film also made it to Cannes, what is most significant is the use of non-professional actors.  The reason being that, with a couple of exceptions in the lead roles, Chloe does the same thing with Nomadland.  And it really has an impact on the feel of the movie in a good and very necessary way.  If you look at the credits on IMDB, you’ll see character names such as; Swanky, Patty, Doug, Angela, Carl…and then when you look over to see the names of the “actors” who played them…you see the exact same names.  As I mentioned, there are two big exceptions to the "non actor" aspect.  Frances McDormand plays "Fern" and David Strathairn plays, you guessed it..."Dave". The film is based on the 2017 non-fiction book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder, and is about a woman who leaves her small town to travel around the American West.  Of course it’s about a lot more than that, but you should definitely give the film a look to fill in the rest of the blanks for yourself.

These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.”

Today we hear from Alex Rydell, president of the North Dakota Funeral Directors Association. ~~~ There’s a new film coming out called Nomadland. It’s about people who follow their work going, wherever they're needed. Think custom combiner or oil patch workers. In the case of the lead character, played by Frances McDormand, an older woman finds her social security and pension won’t cover her expenses. She takes a job with Amazon. The film is based on the book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the 21st Century. Back in September 2018, Director of Radio Bill Thomas spoke with author Jessica Bruder, a journalist who studies subcultures and economic justice.

As was noted of "Nomadland" in a starred review in Booklist: "What photographer Jacob Riis did for the tenement poor in 'How the Other Half Lives' (1890) and what novelist Upton Sinclair did for stockyard workers in 'The Jungle' (1906), journalist Bruder now does for a segment of today's older Americans forced to eke out a living as migrant workers.... [A] powerhouse of a book.... In the best immersive-journalism tradition, Bruder records her misadventures driving and living in a van.... Visceral and haunting reporting."

Bernstein Book Award finalist, "Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-first Century" tells the stories of a growing population of "workampers"—retirement-age Americans who live and work on the road full-time, taking seasonal jobs and living out of RVs, vans, and travel trailers. Author Jessica Bruder found that the best way to get to know her nomadic subjects was to join them. In a secondhand vehicle she named "Van Halen," Bruder lived and worked alongside the workampers. Traveling over 15 thousand miles, they visited everywhere from amusement parks to Amazon warehouses. In an interview with host Aidan Flax-Clark, Bruder shares her surprising findings, plus more van puns! 

This is a short review of the book Nomadland: Surviving America in the 21st Century, by Jessica Bruder, a look at the emerging nomadic workforce used by companies such as Amazon. These are mostly older adults who live in vans and recreational vehicles while working at temporary jobs around the country. This book highlights a lifestyle that's free and hopeful on the one hand and difficult and tragic on the other. As more and more people are being forced out of conventional employment and compelled to work into their 60s and beyond, the kind of nomads depicted in this book will only become more numerous.

Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century (W.W. Norton & Company) In recent years, many Americans have had to face tough new realities in the midst of massive changes in the economy and a widening wealth gap. One particularly hard-hit demographic is senior citizens, a proportion of whom saw their stable middle-class lives disappear in the wake of the Great Recession and suddenly, in their retirement years, found themselves in need of a job in a new economy low on steady manufacturing and retail jobs and high on short-term seasonal labor. As a result, to survive they join an expanding group of modern nomads: men and women who have given up the stability—and costs—of a home life and have hit the road in RVs, campervans, and trailers. In Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century, award-winning journalist Jessica Bruder delivers a comprehensive and compelling portrait of this set of fighters, idealists, and adventurers trying to carve out a peripatetic existence. “Millions of Americans are wrestling with the impossibility of a traditional middle-class existence,” writes Bruder. “In the widening gap between credits and debits hangs a question: What parts of this life are you willing to give up, so you can keep on living?” The answer, Bruder finds, can vary tremendously, but for those who abdicate thecomforts of home for life on the road, there is both risk and reward in the undertaking, as well as an affirming side effect: an eclectic community that comes together both online and in person to commiserate over the struggles of living on the road, to tell jokes and share puns (their vans get names like “Vansion,” “Van Go,” “DonoVan,” and “Vantucket”), and to support one another in their alternative lifestyles. They work for employers seeking them out for low-wage seasonal gigs, from picking fruit to staffing roadside stalls that sell Halloween pumpkins, Christmas trees, or Fourth of July fireworks; scrubbing toilets in National Forest campgrounds; guarding the gates of Texas oil fields and running the rides at theme parks. (Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa, made headlines last year after one workamper, a former pastor in his sixties, was killed in an on-the- job accident.) And some serve the community, by blogging or by arranging places to gather, organizing teach-ins and potluck meals. To write this affecting book, Bruder immersed herself in this diverse community, buying a van she dubbed “Halen” and driving more than 15,000 miles over the course of two years, meeting modern nomads. She worked alongside them in Amazon’s CamperForce team of low-wage, seasonal workers at the company’s fulfillment centers and at the grueling annual sugar beet harvest in North Dakota. And she followed them through stints of precarious employment in national parks, where they served as campground custodians in exchange for a place to park their houses-on- wheels and a near-minimum wage. As Bruder discovers, much of the population of Nomadland is made up of resourceful Americans with a strong spirit of independence, and many of them are single women, as well as senior citizens, reflecting some of the hardest-hit members of the middle class. They gather in places like Quartzsite, Arizona, where the land is vast and available, and the local authorities are generally tolerant of long-term campers and their vehicles. But these modern nomads can also be found living in Walmart parking lots, and even on city streets, hoping that no police officer will come knocking. On her travels Bruder meets a fascinating collective of colorful itinerants, people like Linda, a 65-year- old grandmother who lives in a trailer called “the Squeeze Inn,” and LaVonne, a 67-year- old former journalist who “found her people” among the nomads, “a ragtag bunch of misfits who surrounded me with love and acceptance.” They all have a story, a clear reason for their transition from middle-class lives to the open road, for living out of a traveling box, for driving and working and persevering in a permanent state of flux in a world where homelessness is frowned upon, if not actually considered criminal behavior. Elegantly crafted and compassionate in its approach, Nomadland is a singular work of in-depth narrative journalism, a view from the inside of the new American heartland—a land without a physical center, scattered across the country, in nearly constant motion. Praise for Nomadland “What photographer Jacob Riis did for the tenement poor in How the Other Half Lives (1890) and what novelist Upton Sinclair did for stockyard workers in The Jungle (1906), journalist Bruder now does for a segment of today’s older Americans forced to eke out a living as migrant workers. . . . [A] powerhouse of a book. . . . Visceral and haunting reporting.”—Booklist, STARRED review “Excellent. . . . Engaging, highly relevant immersion journalism.”—Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review “A must-read that is simultaneously hopeless and uplifting and certainly unforgettable.”—Library Journal, STARRED review “Tracing individuals throughout their journeys from coast to coast, Bruder conveys the phenomenon’s human element, making this sociological study intimate, personal, and entertaining, even as the author critiques the economic factors behind the trend.”—Publishers Weekly “People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book. Nomadland is a testament both to the generosity and creativity of the victims of our modern-medieval economy, hidden in plain sight, and to the blunt-end brutality that put them there. Is this the best the wealthiest nation on earth can do for those who’ve already done so much?”—Rebecca Solnit, author of The Mother of All Questions “In the early twentieth century, men used to ride the rails in search of work, sharing camps at night. Today, as Bruder brilliantly reports, we have a new class of nomadic workers who travel in their RVs from one short-term job to another. There’s a lot to cringe at here—from low pay and physically exhausting work to constant insecurity. But surprisingly, Nomadland also offers its residents much-needed camaraderie and adventure, which makes this book a joy to read.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed “The campsite as the home of last resort, the RV used not for vacation but for survival: these are the makings of a new dystopia. Nomadland is a smart road book for the new economy, full of conviviality and dark portent.”—Ted Conover, author of Rolling Nowhere and Immersion Jessica Bruder is an award-winning journalist whose work focuses on subcultures and the dark corners of the economy. She teaches at the Columbia School of Journalism and is the author of Burning Book.
