Moonlight (Movie History, Plot Breakdown, & Pairings)

August 19, 2026 · 2 h 41 min

Show notes

This week we are getting into A24's first financed film and its first Best Picture winner, "Moonlight." We talk about the long road to writing this film for Barry Jenkins. The original play the script was based on and the production of the film in Miami. We then dive into the film itself and talk about all of the aspects we love about the film. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a duo of double bills for your viewing pleasure!

Thank you so much for listening!
