Episode: Cabin in the Sky (1943) / The Color Purple (2023) - Everybody loves raiment
Description: Dan and Brian continue Musical Decades Month and also honor Black History Month by looking at two films depicting the Black experience with Black casts: the groundbreaking Faustian musical Cabin in the Sky from 1943 and the bold musical take on The Color Purple from 2023. Join as Dan and Brian discuss the ways they consider representation when watching movies, the charming casts and productions of each film, Louis Armstrong, hair horns, the complicated history of The Color Purple, what kind of stories should be made into musicals, and the self-cannibalizing IP-to-musical pipleine.
