FOLLOWING FILMS

On this episode we talk about two films that were released within the last year that combine romance, music, and the different perspectives two characters bring to those subjects with last summer’s BEGIN AGAIN, and the late winter release of SONG ONE. But first, an even newer release which just hit DVD and Blu-ray is discussed with writer/director Richard Lagravanese on his musical screen adaptation of THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

In this episode we look at murder in paradise, more specifically the serial killer hunting children and being hunted himself by Tom Hardy in CHILD 44. This inspires a look back at the controversial rendering of paradise in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of THE LOVELY BONES vs. the troubling utopia portrayed in the more critically acclaimed film adaptation of NEVER LET ME GO. GUEST: None this week, but we really could have used the analysis of Dave from Pop Culture Case Study. You can correct that mistake by checking out his great podcast.
