To celebrate the release of The Supremes At Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat, which debuts on Disney+ and Hulu this week, we had the pleasure of chatting with some of the cast about this moving and poignant comedy-drama based on the best-selling book of the same name.
The movie follows lifelong best friends Odette (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor), Barbara Jean (Sanaa Lathan), and Clarice (Uzo Aduba) known as “The Supremes”, who share the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood from decades of weathering life’s storms. Through the joys and sorrows of life, marriage, and children, happiness and blues, love and loss, new shades of heartbreak and illness threaten to stir up the past when the trio sees their bond put to the test as they face their most challenging times yet.
Chatting to the incredible cast – including Oscar Nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (Odette), Sanaa Lathan (Barbara Jean), Russell Hornsby (Richmond Baker), Mehki Phifer (James Hornsby), and Kyanna Simone (Young Odette), Tati Gabrielle (Young Barbara Jean) and Abigail Achiri (Young Clarice) – we talk about the book’s success, why this was a story that needed to be told now, why the story of female friendships and love are ones to be celebrated, the culture behind the story, working together as a cast, why the film feels like a throwback to ’90s cinema and the stories that were told and much more.
