Color Purple circa 1985/Color Purple (The Musical) 2023

Reboots. Honestly? We’re over them.

So when word dropped that The Color Purple was getting the reboot treatment — Fox Indigo was not impressed. But after the buzz died down, curiosity (and courage) kicked in…

Joined by guest friend Yahhila Yisrael, Fox takes on the bold task of watching both versions — the 1985 Steven Spielberg classic and the 2023 musical reimagining by Blitz Bazawule.

Join the real talk as they review, compare, and get into the heart of these two powerful adaptations:

Did the culture really need this reboot?

Can a musical retelling hold the same emotional weight?

How do the casts, themes, and energy compare across decades?

And how true are either of them to Alice Walker's original book?

Life is what you make it… and this episode? It’s a whole vibe.This episode is raw, reflective, and full of insight — perfect for anyone who loves film, storytelling, or just good conversation.
