TRUST LOVE ALL THE WAY This week, we start our Oscars Roulette rolls with Barry Jenkins' adaptation of James Baldwin's masterwork IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK. We talk about Regina King's stunning Oscar-winning performance, one of the greatest musical scores of all time, and Jenkins' cinematic language of revolutionizing the romanticism. We also debrief the Oscars ceremony, talk about a new release or two, catch up on Sutherland's Through the Years challenge, and getting way too busy recently.
