In today's episode, we dig into the complicated and beautiful novel Beloved (1987) by Toni Morrison and its 1998 adaptation directed by Jonathan Demme starring starring Oprah, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, and Kimberly Elise. We talk all about the sheer genius of Toni Morrison and her treatment of trauma before discussing the film, which makes some Large and Weird Choices™ that we're not so sure work. But also, we want to know: do ghosts pee? Stick around to the end of the episode to find out what title we'll take on next, and keep in touch on Twitter @Radaptations.
