Description

This episode, we talk about the famous James Baldwin novel If Beale Street Could Talk, written in 1974, and its recent adaptation by Barry Jenkins, director of the Oscar winning film Moonlight. We attempt to compare this lush movie with the vivid and moving novel that it was based on: from beautiful actors to questioning what counts as "entertainment", not to mention a surprise cameo by Dave Franco!
