061 - If Beale Street Could Talk - Novel vs Film
In Episode 61 Gen and Jette talk about If Beale Street Could Talk. Our love for James Baldwin knows no bounds, so we read his 1974 novel and watch the 2018 film adaptation written and directed by Barry Jenkins.

\nShow Notes:
\nWe ramble a lot about how much we love this book because we can't get over James Baldwin's incredible writing.
\nBarry Jenkins directed Moonlight in 2016, and we can't believe that was already five years ago!
\nListen to the novel's namesake, "Beale Street Blues" by Louis Armstrong.
