I'm going to listen to this later, and I haven't been been able to watch "French Dispatch" yet. But quick thought. I recently watched an interview with Anderson (on the Criterion Channel), done just before "Tenenbaums". He talks about how he loved "The New Yorker" when he was 12.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1480710236369477637 …

Specifically, he loved the "Goings On About Town" section because it all sounded so exciting and magic and - well, perfect. Now, a precocious 12-year old is going to have a very skewed 'the golden age of the New Yorker is 12' perspective. And that is the genius of Wes Anderson.

"Grand Budapest" is like a precocious 12-year old reading Stefan Zweig and loving it but not getting it. So it goes. His characters are arrested development adult headcases confused by their own child-like souls, or children misled by their prematurely adult-like minds.

Wes Anderson should do an adaptation of "The Young Visiters, or, Mr. Salteena's Plan". Who would he cast?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Visiters …

If the podcast makes the same point, apologies.

Didn't make quite that exact point but in an earlier podcast did mention Tannenbaums as an Anderson homage to New Yorker (not just Talk of the Town but also Salinger).
