In a very special two-part episode, Carie and Ross discuss the powerful Academy Award nominated adaptation of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Color Purple (1985). Ross lauds the incredible composition of Quincy Jones' beautiful score, Carie gets giddy for the queerness between Ceilie and Shug, and the siblings sob like children over the separation of Ceilie and her sister Nettie.
