Bested Adapted Podcast stumbles back into your feed with the iconic and super-well-known and easily streamable Where the Buffalo Roam. Based on the writings of Hunter S. Thompson, the film stars Bill Murray as the gonzo journalist and follows his relationship with Chicano activist Oscar Acosta. Pitched as both a slapstick comedy and meditation on the death of counter-culture, Where the Buffalo Roam presents a boozy rendition of American pop-culture and history. But does this adaptation live up to the wit and irreverence of Hunter S. Thompson’s writings? Or is it simply a gonzo-goofout? Joined by scholar, labor organizer, and journalist Omari Averette-Phillips, Caleb and Frank discuss the NFL (bad), Bill Murray (good), and Bruno Kirby (the best).
