On this episode of Spineless, Nick and Brennan muse on love, loss, and adaptation in their discussion of Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk. Horrifically snubbed at the Oscars for 2018, Beale Street is a heartrending portrait of a love torn apart by the societal ills of its time, gorgeously adapted by Jenkins from a masterful novel by James Baldwin. Plus, Nick fills Brennan in on what he missed by skipping Jenkins' most recent film, particularly a giant white lion singing 🎶Bye Bye🎶. Let's hope Barry Jenkins uses all that Mufasa money to make another passion project like Beale Street!
