In the first of this summer's Little Gold Men book club series, David and Richard are joined by VF's Hillary Busis for a discussion of The History of Sound, the queer period romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor and hitting theaters this September. The hosts discuss the original short story by Ben Shattuck, who also wrote the film adaptation, as well as the fascinating choices made in the shift from page to screen. Later, Shattuck joins the show to give us insights into his process writing two versions of this story, and where the inspiration came from.

Our next Little Gold Men book club is Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. We'll be discussing the novel and its upcoming film adaptation on our August 14 episode. Read along with us and send your questions to littlegoldmen@vf.com.

Richard and David are joined by Vanity Fair staff writer Savannah Walsh for a breakdown of who will be nominated for the top Emmys this year, ahead of the announcement later this month. The hosts also discuss a range of summer blockbusters, from F1 to the new Jurassic World, and assess the state of the box office.

This week, David, Rebecca, and Richard go through a handful of listener questions looking ahead to this coming Oscar season, from the post-trailer buzz surrounding the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere to a potential awards play for 28 Years Later. Then, the hosts reflect on the recent rerelease of Brokeback Mountain for its 20th anniversary, before discussing a few other awards films of its era that deserve a similar rerelease treatment.

We'll be discussing The History of Sound on July 10th, so read along and send us your questions to littlegoldmen@vf.com!
