This is the book ride podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neill. And I'm Rebecca Schinsky. And we are so pleased

today to have a guest. Randy Winston is back with us of the Blacklist. And we are talking about

winter 20, 24-5 adaptations. So stuff that's come out recently and then things we're looking for

really through April 1st, I guess, is kind of the

unofficial cutoff. Are we doing publishing seasons? Are we doing actual seasons here?

We're doing book riot publishing seasons, you know, since no one is consistent. But our publishing

seasons here are January through April, May through August, and then September through December.

Yeah.

So we're going to start with things that have come out

kind of in the last couple of months into award season,

things that maybe people haven't caught.

And I think not everything, but the stuff that seems

a little bit sticky in the culture and the critical consciousness

and maybe even at the box, as to some.

Randy, we were just telling you,

Rebecca and I have not had a chance to see Nickel Boys because it has not come to theaters near us.

You probably know more, you all at the Blacklist know more about us than release strategy.

I don't know why it hasn't opened around here yet. I'm a little confused about that.

But having said that, certainly a contender for multiple major awards in the big ones.

And then so apart side of that, a major adaptation achievement and cinematic achievement,

all one seems like sort of a singular achievement as these things go.

So talk to me about your experience and do I have that kind of right?
