Ep957: THE COLOR PURPLE (2023) w/ Armond White
Of the Color Purple remake, Ian and Armond White declare, "Out with the new, and in with the old!"
Blitz Bazawule's big-screen version of the Broadway adaptation of Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated telling of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is...less than stellar.
In this spoilerific autopsy, Ian and Armond talk about the perils of misguided attitudes on race and gender; remakes as cultural vandalism; and why no one can (or should) touch the 1985 film--not even the esteemed Oprah Winfrey!
Plus: Get a sneak peak at the guys' upcoming review of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon!
