The Color Purple (1985) - Sapphic Stories ep9 - a podcast by WUSSY Mag

Today on Wussy Movie Club, Alice Walker’s classic southern black queer novel ‘The Color Purple’ comes to life in Steven Spielberg’s 1985 film adaptation. 

 

The film features star-turning roles led by Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah, and Margaret Avery. It also holds the record for the film with the most nominations without a win at the Academy Awards. 

 

Joining us today to break down the fashion, the herstory, and the queerness of “The Color Purple” is NYC activist and talent manager, Giselle Byrd. 

 

WUSSY Movie Club is a weekly roundtable movie podcast with a Queer lens, featuring themed seasons and special interviews with Queer filmmakers. Every Wednesday, a rotating cast of LGBTQIA+ voices will dish on their favorite films of past and present. Join the club and be a part of the discussion!
