This week on The ALTER Tapes, Sharai and Joe discuss Destinee McCaster’s ‘Cabbage’ (2023), a black religious fable that we wish was a little more adventurous.

Premise: On a desolate farm, a couple's prayers are answered after a visitor offers them a sinister deal. Blinded by their joy, they struggle to realize that what they once desired may lead to their own unravelling.
