Fences

This week we’re getting in the backyard (or maybe it’s a stage?) and covering the play-to-movie sensation that is 2016’s Fences. In addition to being a directorial effort from Denzel (the first we’ve covered in this miniseries), this also marks the start of his August Wilson adaptations, and his transition into more producing behind the scenes. We get into all that, plus Viola Davis’ astonishing monologues, how niche it can be to actually seek out and experience plays, and the difficulty of finding a new newborn baby.
