About this listen
In this episode, Nate and Chris dive into Toni Morrison's 'Beloved,' unpacking its harrowing portrayal of slavery, generational trauma, and ghostly reckoning. They explore Morrison's literary genius, the controversial 1998 film adaptation starring Oprah Winfrey, and draw compelling connections to 'Sinners' — Ryan Coogler's new box-office phenomenon about Black vampires and blues music. With themes of memory, identity, and systemic horror at the core, this discussion considers 'Beloved' not just as a novel or film, but as a foundational text for the entire epic lineage of Black horror.
