Bob and I get philosophical (and political) as we discuss the merits of John Ford's adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." We talk for an hour and so we've decided to split this episode into two parts. This week we follow the Joad's to the border of California, right before their perilous desert night crossing. Next week, we'll find out what happens to them in California. Spoiler: it's not good.

Here's a link to the IMDB page for "The Grapes of Wrath"

Here's a link to an article and NPR story discussing the 75th anniversary of the book.
