In 2012, Swedish native, Fredrik Backman wrote his novel “A Man Called Ove”, which was adapted into a Swedish feature film of the same name in 2015, before finally landing on director Marc Forster’s lap for an American adaptation starring none other than Tom Hanks.

Hang out with us as we discuss and review Marc Forster’s re-adapted dramedy “A Man Called Otto”.
