Fantastic Mr. Fox with Jakob Anderson

Best Adapted Podcast connects with its inner child and checks out Fantastic Mr. Fox, the Roald Dahl book and its stop-motion animation adaptation from Wes Anderson. The 2009 film assembles a star-studded voice cast of Anderson standbys (Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson) and new collaborators for the twee filmmaker (Meryl Streep and George Clooney). The movie also expands on the initial work to become a story of mid-life crisis and familial bonding. But do the changes enhance or diminish the adaptation? Joined by Jakob Anderson (Pitch Hunt podcast), Caleb and Frank discuss spaghetti westerns, Wes Anderson’s unique place in the film industry, and celebrated actor/musician/singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson.
