14: Nomadland
It's a first for Binge Me with a movie recap! This week, Claire is joined by friend and travel blogger Elizabeth to talk all things Nomadland (Kelleigh will be back next week). Directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, the film follows the physical, mental, and emotional journey of Fern who explores the American West as a modern-day nomad. Hear their initial thoughts and favorite moments before taking a deep dive into this year's Best Picture. They discuss the realities and misconceptions of nomads, the reasons people take on this lifestyle (both economic and spiritual), and Fern's path to healing. Also, find out their favorite destinations from the movie and which one could live the nomad life.
