POPULARITY
The activity of the mind of George Will was matched by the activity of his legs. Son and heir of the seedsman Oscar Will of Bismarck, he put his Harvard education to work on everything around him, from horticulture to folksong to archaeology. And he was a boots-on-the-ground sort of guy.
It’s our NONspoiler review of Nomadland, Searchlight’s roving new Best Picture contender. Can Frances McDormand win her 3rd Oscar? Will this adaptation wow the writer’s branch? And does Chloe Zhao become a household name for a film about house-less people?

This time, we’re talking about the movie of the moment, Nomadland. Hell, some people are already calling it the movie that best represents 2020. So do we see it that way? Or are we calling this a case of some way too early hype? We break it down from all angles and from the perspectives of multiple voting branches as we head into awards season. We tell you why the narratives surrounding this film might be irresistible to the Academy. But we also can’t help but compare this fall festival season to seasons past. What other films and Oscar noms does Nomadland remind us of? Or will this be a critical hit that doesn’t connect with larger audiences? In any event, Chloe Zhao and Frances McDormand are talents we love to support on this show, and there’s a lot to discuss with their new film. If you’re enjoying this show, then please support us with a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, and we thank you for doing so. Otherwise, stay tuned for more episodes of Oscar Race Checkpoint, The James Bond Character Study, and many more OSP’s as we continue into the review season before the awards season.

George F. Will, of Bismarck - ethnologist, archeologist, dendrochronologist, and son of the celebrated horticulturalist and seedsman, Oscar Will - was also, as disclosed in a previous essay, a songcatcher - a lover and collector of folksongs, particularly cowboy ballads. He published his folksong findings in the Journal of American Folklore in 1909 and 1913.
