The brilliant Greta Gerwig joins us for the third time! We’ll welcome back Greta to talk about her latest – an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women.” The film is up for six Academy Awards this year, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film is terrifically cast, tons of heavy hitters: Saorise Ronan, Meryl Streep, Laura Dern! Greta talks about her casting choices in “Little Women” including her surprising choice of Bob Odenkrik as father March. Plus, what the book meant to her growing up, and why she’s shocked that this version of the adaptation even exists.
