Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 23: Blonde (2022)



Death by Adaptation Podcast

Welcome to Death By Adaptation, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.

In this episode, we take Joyce Carol Oates' controversial Marilyn Monroe novel, Blonde, and its 2022 Netflix film adaptation by Andrew Dominik, starring Ana de Armas. We talk about the duality inside the legendary actor on-screen and off, the insidious darkness of Hollywood and the allure of fame, and the prejudiced reception from general audiences.
