I nominate Ari Aster/Robert Eggers for director. Though they're probably best left to pursue their own passions.

When I think of this book as an adaptation to film, the phrase “fever dream” comes to mind. It would need to walk the finest line between real and surreal. Judge Holden is a Tim Burton or Hideo Kojima villain in a western setting and embracing that bombastic ridiculousness is the only way I can see to portray this story and even remotely get away with some of the awfulness. It can never feel too real and leave the audience questioning whether any of it ever really happened at all. Love this book, this author, and this podcast. Thank you both for combining the three.
