“I am going to start with a personal project. I’m going to start with The Underground Railroad. Every single state on the journey of this film, we traded in the score like it was almost a different planet at times. It was like working on multiple movies. But one of the more profound experiences I’ve ever had, and shout out to Barry Jenkins, Colson Whitehead. Yeah, very special experience.”

John David Washington and Malcolm Washington

“Barry cooked with this one. He did his big one with this one. Shout out Onnalee Blank. The sound? Crazy. Shout out Nick Britell. All these guys. They went wild with this one. Underground, if you haven’t seen it, watch it. This is newer to the Collection. But somebody go buy this, support them, because this was incredible, incredible, incredible work.”
