  • Summary

  • After being robbed of an Oscar with L.A. Confidential, director Curtis Hanson bounced back with the 2000 film Wonder Boys, based on Pulitzer-Prize winner Michael Chabon's 1995 novel. Join us on Reel Lit as McKenzie and Stephen take a look at the novel and the film, examining both the concept of the doppelgänger in the novel and analyzing Grady Tripp's spells ("You make it sound like we're in a Tennessee Williams play").

    There is so much to cover: hood jumping, parenthood, and just how darn difficult it is to pronounce "Monongahela." Will Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak ever be broken? Can you ever forget an Oola? Join us as we explore even more mysteries of Pittsburgh.
