Jordan and Brooke discuss Bennett Miller's film 'Capote' with guest Fran Hoepfner, exploring themes of true crime and the film's impact.
Jordan and Brooke are rejoined for the fifth (!!!!) time by the wonderful Fran Hoepfner (Vulture) for Bennett Miller's impressive 2005 debut. We talk the Hoffman Oscar (deserved), the oh-so-twisted world of true crime and Capote's place in it, and balancing the eerie and the sensationalist. And social media algorithms. And Charlie Kaufman. And "Is This Thing On." And ABC's Lost. Follow us on Twitter , Bluesky , and IG ! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd ) Follow Fran on Twitter and subscribe to Fran Magazine !
