In this episode, the guys discuss ‘Drive My Car,’ an adaptation of a Haruki Murakami short story. The short story was written by Haruki Murakami and published in in 2014 (Japan) in 'Men Without Women,' a short story collection by Murakami. The collection was well received and ended up on Barack Obama's best books list of 2019. The film was directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, Wife of a Spy, Storytellers) and written by Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe. The film stars Hidetoshi Nishijima, Tōko Miura, Masaki Okada and Reika Kirishima. The conversation ranges from the how the film built upon and expanded from the 40-page short story, whether Murakami adapts easily to the screen, ghosts and a brief word from our new sponsor.
