The Color Purple (1985)

Join Andy and Josh as they take a look at Steven Spielberg’s 1985 adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, ‘The Color Purple.’ Along the way they take a deep dive into the production history of the film, the relationship it has with the novel and question whether the material is a good fit for Spielberg’s sensibilities. TW: Please be advised that ‘The Color Purple’ is a story that deals with themes of domestic and sexual abuse.
