Description

Andrei Tarkovsky's work is beloved by film enthusiasts, but how does his masterpiece compare to the novel ROADSIDE PICNIC by Boris & Arkady Strugatsky? In episode 395, author Laura Cranehill (WIFE SHAPED BODIES) joins Luke Elliott & James Bailey to learn about the film that killed its creator, debate the meaning behind "the room," revel in all things slow & boring, and finally cast the deciding vote on which version was ultimately better: the book or the movie?
