This past April was the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" which makes it the perfect time to review and discuss Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film adaptation of the book, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, and Elizabeth Debicki.
Welcome back to the podcast, Jordyn Cummings, who is an expert on all things Gatsby, so make sure you read the book or check out the movie not to be spoiled. The movie, unfortunately, is only available for purchase or rental. Don't forget to always check out your local library!
Is this the first time that Stephanie watched this movie? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out!
