Tyler Scruggs returns for a talk about the movie adaptation of Nico Walker\u2019s novel Cherry, which follows a young man\u2019s nightmarish evolution from lovestruck college student to opiate-addicted Iraq War veteran and serial bank robber. With Spiderman\u2019s Tom Holland in the central role, and Marvel dudes (the Russo brothers) directing, the film has a jarringly different tone and effect than the book, and Tyler helps us frame Cherry\u2019s function as both pop political cinema and a glossy advertisement for Apple\u2019s streaming service. Of course, all of this evolves into a conversation about making and consuming art in the ephemeral landscape of hyper-capitalist digital pop culture.
